Can't say I have a top three but these are definite favourites.
The theme from M.A.S.H., Toni Basil, and Mr Ouizo

I went to nursery in Wimbledon in the mid 70s And the idle staff used to take us to the common and send us off to see if could find the Wombles. Lol |

My friend used to lead pony rides round the common. Womble spotting was a must. |

Btw I think some people are using Poetic License with the phrase "Hit"! One of those above I've never heard of only reached #17 in the charts!! I think minimum criteria should be top 10 or even top 5. |

Maybe I'm being pedantic but that was a #6 hit... and they had another #6 so technically they're 2 hit wonders! |

Who killed Bambi was sung by Ed Tudor Pole as a solo artist and was on the Great Rock and Roll Swindle film ssoundtrack, not sure if it was a B side or not. |
