They are performing in Asbury Park and Jersey City this year. I kind of want to go, wife thinks I'm nuts.

I won't link to it but does anyone remember that awful song that Mileys Dad recorded? ABH?

herr_oberst 07-25-2019 03:50 PM

I'd go see the 5678's. It can't cost much. I'll bet the crowd is a fun one...

Hermans Hermits? The friggin WHO used to open for them! They were big news back when I was growing up!!!

96 Tears.

Question Mark and the Mysterions.

Rudy Martinez (Lead singer) ran with that one hit song and made a 50 year career out of it. Good for him.

The Seeds... Pushing too hard. Sky Saxon.

Those two out of many, crack me up because they were simple, crappy voicing. simple but made the top forty.

Beautiful Day... White Bird.

Some were great and some just had a hook (even tho crappy) that we liked.

You know... like "Louie Louie."

Tiny Tim gets double bonus points: OHW and weird!!!
Hermans Hermits were a huge success. Multiple hits.

Only one hit that I know of:

Well..the header says "weird and one hit wonders"....albeit Hermans Hermits was pretty much just a popular group..
I am ready for some Weird Al

dad911 07-25-2019 06:49 PM

I guess "Henry the eighth" isn't weird enough for you guys.

How about this?:

Mike Oldfield did a similar thing with Tubular Bells.
