    Yellow Snow hit #86 on the Billboard top 100 in '74. Not sure if that counts? A couple other songs making fun of disco got a little air time.

    He was extremely popular in Germany and and other parts of Europe. Of course, his lyrics had a lot to do with not catching on with the mainstream, which is just as well.

    I'm okay with being an elitist about him, then. :)

    I forgot one of my favorite one-hit wonders, never mind her origins:

    I'd forgotten them too! And in that genre you've got Veruca Salt, Lucious Jackson, and the Sneaker Pimps as well. All quality.

    Can't believe nobody's mentioned American Pie by Don McLean. Maybe I'm just showing my age.
