    How the **** is that song 44 years old?
    I loved it when I was a kid, feeling really ancient now.

    Some good ones here, White Town!

    Anyone fancy linking me a little Yes by McAlmont and Butler? Maybe a little not-one-hitty but who cares, it’s ace.

    How about Black – Wonderful Life?

    or Tamsin Archer – Satellites
    or The Only Ones – Another Girl, Another Planet

    and as for Kung Fu Fighting – technically a two hit wonder, as I think it made no 1 note once but twice…

    In the UK yes, they were only big in Oz though.

    Driver’s Seat, by Sniff ‘n’ The Tears. Only got into the Top 40 here because of a pressing plant issue delayed release after their TOTP appearance. Bigger hit worldwide, though.

    Not strictly a one hit wonder, should have been far more successful.

    Actually they were a one hit wonder, but with “Teenage Sensation”, not “Call it What You Want”, which I am listening to now, and it is awesome.

    Can’t believe it was twenty ago I was bouncing to that at the Cambridge Junction. (ETA: also supporting Therapy?)
    Good times.

    Teenage Sensation, how did I forget that track?

    Will be in the loft tomorrow digging the album out, happy memories, finishing college and heading to uni…

    IIRC I saw them at the Manchester Academy, vague, hazy memories…

    Happy memories of Gunshot 25 Gun Salute as well, though I guess Mind of a Razor or Colour Code were their one hit wonder contenders….
