There was one song in the 1960's I really liked. It was an anti-hate song. By a guy named Barry McGuire. He had a terrible voice but it suited the song which I thought was good.
If you can find it get it. The song was "Eve of Destruction"

Spirit In The Sky was by Norman Greenbaum.
My favorite One-Hit Wonder is The La's - There She Goes. As perfect a pop song as exists.

Depends on what charts we are talking about... Right Said Fred also had "Deeply Dipply" and Chumbawamba had "Top of the World" in the UK just from the top of my head. Dont know if these singles were ever released in the US

It's almost impossible to argue with the La's, but I will always cast my vote for Icicle Works' "Whisper to a Scream".

Is there an MP3 sample of this anywhere you know of?
While I was looking, I found two more:
Too Shy- Kajagoogoo
They Don't Know- Tracey Ullman

They Don't Know- Tracey Ullman
That was her second single, I like her first one, "Breakaway" much better.
