I'm sorry - I have the attention span of a gnat....a 6.42 minute song? That's like twice what I can deal with. Who are you? Why are we chatting?

Wild guess. You have never made it through 17:03 to the end of Innagoddadavita by Iron Butterfly...

ACTUALLY - I had that track, Inna Gadda Da Vida (to be correct) and loved it, as well as the original Heard it Through the Grape Vine which I believe was 7 or 12 minutes....my attention span is selective.

Then there's Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull - a continuous album - had that one as well...but, really don't mind if you sit this one out....

Thick as a Brick is brilliant. Side one of Rush's 2112 album is one song at around 20 minutes. It is on repeat in my head at least once a week.

 

[Shiverguy]

Will find that one and give it a listen.

Aaron Lines? I've not heard a thing from him since this one. But looking for it on YouTube I see he has at least one other tune. But he is flash in the pan.

One hit wonder. Was actually playing in the lobby this morning when I did my building walk.

Sadly - The Village People had several hits - YMCA, In the Navy, Go West, Macho Man....and a few others -so not really one-hit-wonders.

Here's an Aussie one - Solid Rock from Goanna - Spirit of Place:

Village People is an American disco group known for its on-stage costumes and suggestive lyrics in their music. The group was originally formed by French producers Jacques Morali, Henri Belolo and lead singer Victor Willis[1] following the release of the debut album Village People, which targeted disco's large gay audience. The group's name refers to Manhattan's Greenwich Village, with its reputation as a gay neighborhood.[2] The characters were a symbolic group of American masculinity[3] and macho gay-fantasy personas.[4] As of 2020, Victor Willis is the only original member of the group.

I liked the Music BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT not their lifestyle. No offence intended!

 

[Shiverguy]

Well, I'll have to admit, I have sung along to their songs more than once. 🎤

 

[Tinsnips]

Yeah. I gotta concede they weren’t a one hit wonder now you mentioned it SG. They were just never high enough on my playlist to register more than that song. The rest came back when you listed them.

I have to admit, I preferred it stayed in the closet. And I lived door to one. I only know because I came straight to the point one day and asked. He was a great guy and super landscape designer. But his lifestyle stayed in his house. That still seems better than the in your face of today. JMHO

So. You had to ask your neighbour if he was a Village People fan?

Got to keep on track with the theme of the post - here's another: I would walk 500 miles - The Proclaimers:
