Wednesday One Hit Wonders

A new feature today that we'll be doing from time to time called
Wondersday where we'll showcase the anomaly of popular music known
as the "One Hit Wonder"

Today's first two one hit wonders, while they were big hits for different bands in different decades were
actually written by the same people, Harry Vanda and George Young. Vanda and Young were memebers of The Easybeats
an Australian garage rock band that had their one hit in 1966 with "Friday On My Mind", a song later covered by David Bowie. After the breakup of The Easybeats Vanda and Young went on to form a band later in the 70's called Flash And

The Pan, obviuosly a play on the phrase which could be used to describe any one hit wonder, "flash in the pan".
They hit it in 1983 with a quirky new wave hit called Hey St Peter.

Our third song today I chose because I though it was interesting how it paraphrases the music from Friday On
My Mind, and again became a one hit wonder. This time for British new wave act, The Jags


MP3:The Easy Beats - Friday On My Mind released 1966
MP3:Flash And The Pan - Hey St Peter released 1983
MP3:The Jags - Back Of My Hand(I've Got Your Number) released 1993
