    One Hit wonders of the 70's
    Hi,

    I love most of the old one hit wonders of the 70's. (except disco) I know there are a lot that made it to the top 40, but rarely (if ever) get played anymore.
    There's a couple that I'd love to hear again, but for the life of me can't remember the title, or artist! Mostly because I have not heard them since I was a kid!

    Can anyone list any one hit wonders from the 70's that rarely get played anymore?

    Thanks!

    Here's a few less played ones:

    Drivers Seat - Sniffin' the tears
    Lonely boy -Andrew Gold
    Thunder Island - Jay Furguson
    Turning Japanese - The Vapors
    Switching to Glide - The Kings
    Wham Bam - Silver
