I like a LOT of one-hit wonders.. This one really gave me a log of joy this morning.. and, usually, whenever it comes on. (Flute in a song? YES!)
They will never make music like this again. Closest is Boz Scaggs and (some) jazz music...

A dozen plus years ago, when cds was the way to listen to music, I burned a couple of discs for my daughter who was in high school. It included a bunch of hits that were popular and it was her go-to driving music. I can't remember everything on there, but it included hits by The Romantics, The Go-Gos, Bryan Adams and a quite a few other songs that she could play among her friends that I thought they would like.
My daughter now lives several states away, but likes to participate in "quiz night" at a local get-together where they have a question-and-answer contest every week. About a month ago, they played an intro to a song and you were to guess the song and the artist. They introed the song "Pop Muzik" by the artist "M" and she was the only person to get the correct answer. That was one of the songs that I burned on the cds that I made for her.

ok- going way back to 1970
Heard this for the first time in ages and it has to be in this thread! Great lyrics. Funny, remember when it came out, heard it a lot but didn't quite understand...

I wore the cassette version out. Loved that album, though it was very poorly recorded and mixed.

Wait "Monkey on your back" wasn't a hit?
Saw Aldo Nova in Rochester NY in the late 80s. I believe they were opening for Richtie Blackmore's Rainbox (a band that isn't even played on the radio anymore)
I heard "Street of Dreams" a couple weeks ago.... But the only reason they played it was because they were playing blocks of songs from particular years each hour; in this case 1983. Otherwise, zilch!
The best Rainbow stuff comes from their first three studio albums, IMO.
Surfin Bird by the Trashmen was a parody of "Pa pa ooh mow mow" and "Bird is the Word", both by the Rivingtons.
How about "Na na Hey hey Kiss him Goodbye" by Steam

One of the best songs of the era.
I love how their sound and that video makes it seem like they are in somewhere in the deep south, but those guys were from the northeast and that video was filmed in someone's back yard on Long Island. lol
