Where To Watch
Do you remember who recorded these '60s one-hit wonders?
Try not to "Wipe Out" and shed "96 Tears."
Nothing beats Sixties pop music. No wonder we're still all listening to it half a century later.
We all remember the big bands like the Monkees and the Beatles, but the little guys were great, too. The charts could hardly contain all the garage rock, psychedelic, soul, bubblegum, R&B and surf bands.
A new act seemed to pop up every day — and score a huge hit. Let's see if you can remember the acts behind some one-hit wonders from the 1960s. To help, we made up a lot of the band names. See if you can sniff out the true performers like incense and peppermint. Good luck!

You need to correct your quiz. The Strawberry Alarm Click were not a One Hit Wonder. They had a second hit, “Tomorrow”, which carted at #23 on Billboard & #14 on Cash Box.
11 out of 13

13 of 13. But then again, this was pretty much my record collection as a kid.
The lead singer of the Cuff Links who sang "Tracy" was the same lead singer of The Archies who sang "Sugar Sugar" - Ron Dante!
He was also lead singer of The Trashmen, who sang “Leader of the Laundromat.” Also, while “Sugar Sugar” was at #1, “Tracy” was at #9 & no one noticed it was the same singer.
My score is lower than the President’s approval rating. OBAMA THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!!!!

You cruised right through that one! Consider the fact that I had just turned 5 years old when the calendar became 1970, I think it's safe to say that I know my music. I only had to guess on 2 of them.

Much as I'd like to savor my victory, I would now like to trade it for whatever's behind Door #3.
Love your name.
13/13; I knew most but had to guess on a few. I ended up getting them all correct.
WOW, 11 out of 13. I usually know all the songs and NONE of the singers.
I was seriously into the music of the 60's & 70's-I'm hard to fool!

Missed the one on "Tracy." I was in S.E. Asia for a bit, trying to stay alive.
