Can't you count "99 Luftballoons" twice? Once per language? ("Everyone wants to be Captain Kirk..." Fuckin' A!)

Oh, I've loved "Those Were the Days" since I was a little girl.

Yes, I was a strange child.

How about "One Tin Soldier" by Coven?

I have this awesome CD of one hit wonders songs, which i bought about 10 years ago pretty much solely because one tin soldier was on it...

It has a skip in it (my sis copied off my mom's 45), but I could probably shoot a copy your way.

We used to sing "One Tin Soldier" as a camp fire song when I was a kid. Good stuff. I was amused to learn (as an adult) that it had been a radio song!

I remember Emily McEwan playing me a song by Tanita Tikaram and asking us to guess how old she was. Of course in hindsight the correct answer was "already over the hill." That girl had her sophomore slump before she was a freshman.

10) One Tin Soldier - Coven

Also, 1 and 7 are some of my favorite songs of all time (I have hundreds of favorite songs, though, so that doesn't say much)....
