March Adult Jam

Well it's time for another Adult Jam! We're going to try a series of hopefully fun songs. We're going to start learning some One Hit Wonders. Since there are way too many of them and we only have so much time, I thought we'd limit them to just the OHW's that made it to number one on Billboard's Hot 100 list. I mean , you can look at hits from many different sources , you can look at top 100's , or 50's or 40's. But when it comes right down to it, IMHO, it's the artists that made it to BB's number one , then faded into oblivion, that really counts as a OHW.

So, here's my list for the next Jam, song title, artist and year that it made it to BB's #1.


At the Hop      Danny and the Juniors  1958
One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater     Sheb Wooly    1958
Itsy Bitsy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini    Brian Hyland        1960

Please Mr Postman    The Marvelettes    1961
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do   Niel Sedaka 1962
I'm Telling You Now    Freddy and the Dreamers    1965
Hang On Sloopy     the mccoys    1965
Wild Thing    the Troggs    1966
Sittin on the Dock of the Bay  Otis Redding        1968
In the Year 2525    Zager and Evans    1969

Next Jam we'll tackle the 70's! See you then, Terry
