bubblegum pop<\/a> songs from that era. It\u2019s no surprise that this song ended up being an international hit that made it to the Top 40 in multiple countries.<\/p>\nThis short-lived little rock band didn\u2019t last long, and \u201cBend Me, Shape Me\u201d was their only hit. The song peaked at No. 5 in the US, and they never made it to the Top 40 again. Though, their previous single, \u201cStep Out Of Your Mind\u201d, did fairly well on the US charts, where it peaked at No. 24.<\/p>\n
\u201cTracy\u201d by The Cuff Links<\/p>\n
Remember The Cuff Links? This obscure little outfit was unique, as they utilized the vocals of Ron Dante exclusively for a large chunk of their time together. That\u2019s unique, considering his voice harmonized with itself in much of their music.\u00a0And they debuted one of the catchiest one-hit wonders of the 1960s.<\/p>\n
\u201cTracy\u201d was the band\u2019s only big hit, and it was an immediate hit in 1969, too. While the group continued to make music well into the 70s, \u201cTracy\u201d was their only song to reach the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at No.9. They had some success in Canada and the UK, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cNa Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye\u201d by Steam<\/p>\n
Ever heard of Steam? No? Well, that\u2019s probably because they technically didn\u2019t exist. This band was originally a fictional outfit put together by Paul Leka, Gary DeCarlo, and Dale Frashuer. When they made it big with their 1969 pop single \u201cNa Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye\u201d, they decided to roll with the band name and release more music.<\/p>\n
Sadly, while this tune is one of the catchiest one-hit wonders of the 1960s, Steam struggled to maintain a chart presence. \u201cNa Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye\u201d hit No. 1 in the US. However, they never made it to the Top 40 again.<\/p>\n
