Stunning to me that "Beautiful World" by Devo wasn't a top 40 tune. To me it is better than "Whip It" and should have been a crossover hit.
Mutant: "Play 'Whip It!'"
Mothersbaugh: "No!"
Mutant: "Okay, play the other one!"
Devo: [plays "Beautiful World"]
I've always been found of "Da Dip" by Freaknasty, even though I think one of those guys may have been in Quad City DJs, who had a few hits. Or maybe it was Tag Team... either way, great time for music.

I was fortunate enough to grow up with a member of the Picone family and Vito and the Elegants seemed to perform at every function anyone within the circle of family and friends put together. I guess it was better than someone's "uncle Mike" who thinks he can sing grabbing the mic to "perform".
So you are from Staten Island I guess
Dear Donna A Letter From Viet Nam got a lot of airplay in country mid 1960's. I loved Vito P's cover of The Chante;s hit Maybe also.
This thread reminds me that terrible pop music isn't unique to today.
I think people forgot the question!
Most of the songs mentioned never get played anymore.
I wouldn't call that getting a lot of mileage from a song.

Manfred Mann had a #1 hit when they much improved "Blinded by the Light" from the average Springsteen version. Their next biggest "hit" coming in at #22 is "Runner" which most of you have never heard of and gets absolutely NO airplay while "The Mighty Quinn" which never charted is played frequently on classic stations.
Do-Wa-Ditty was their 1st big hit.

Good answer. They're probably still touring on that one song.

The "Larry the Cable Guy" of pop stars, people still mourn his death (even though he is lumped in with the rest of the 'day the music died' crew) over 50 years after his death.

Ban this guy for life. "Shout" "Mad World" "Head Over Heels" "Sowing the Seeds of Life"
May God have mercy on your soul.
Ban this uninformed Obama voter. KC and the Sunshine Band had hits like "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", "Keep It Comin' Love", "Give It Up", and "Please Don't Go". Proof that stupidity contributes to political threads, too....

Maybe because Quinn The Eskimo was written by Bob Dylan and had a bunch of other 1960's covers--
Ramsey Lewis,Union Gap,Ian&Sylvia,1910 Fruitgum Co.The Ventures, The Hollies,Lulu and even Julie London did one.

The new answer is Gangnam Style by Psy.
I am very angry at whoever called Zion I a one-hit wonder back on page 4. I don't know about charting and stuff but they have been around for like 15 years and have 7 albums and they are pretty damn boss.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
