OLD 55 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hmmm. One-hit-wonders? Here's one that's always stuck out in my memory-of-mind. Ladies, don't be offended, guys, enjoy! But, everyone enjoy and remember this forgotten one-hit-wonderful song. Hot, summer nights . . . My friend, that one is 'Sausalito Summer Night', by Dutch Group Diesel, already nominated by ryansgirl. There is another song 'Hot Summer Nights' written and recorded by Walter Egan in 1978. Best version of it was by Night in 1979, but neither of those was a one hit wonder. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Sausilito Summer nights was not nommed by me. I merely provided youtubage. I believe it was Canam who nomintated said song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Actually Darryl, I don't think that Muzik was nomminating the song, or mistaking the title. I think he was just providing a little eye candy for the guys. Oh, and a great song for the girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
