California Sun by the Rivieras. Great organ riffs in the opening. One of my favorites to perform on karaoke night.

I am a charter member of the Rock & Rolls Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. There is a whole room devoted to one hit wonders. Back in my misspent youth as an oldies disk jockey I played a lot of them on the air.

Man, I'm feeling old all of the sudden.

I know people got tired of it but "My Sharona" was a great song.

Yeah, but Men At Work had a couple of other hits (Down Under, Who Can It Be Now), so they weren't one hit wonders.

How 'bout Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas?

Spirit in the Sky is one of my favorites.

I want this played at my funeral and everyone, no matter how few, to clap and sing along...

Yes, you are correct. My bad.
They really only had one other big hit, and that was "Good Girls Don't", but My Sharona was their biggest hit by far

The names fly right over my head with most of these, but as soon as I hear them I think "I remember that!"

My favorite, Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.
