I chose:
Key Largo by Bertie Higgins
She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby
and
Iko Iko by The Belle Stars
Out of the list, these three were the ones that I loved the most, although, there are other one hit wonders that I like more.

Three worthy ones from me...
'Key Largo' (although I know a certain someone who will hate me for that choice!)
'Forget Me Nots' (actually quite a sizeable hit in Britain...enormous sentimental value!)
'Tender Love' (sappy as they come, but it works!)
You may like to know that 'Iko Iko' was first released way back in 1982 by the Belle Stars...but they lost out to another version by Natasha...

The Natasha version was OK. It was (surprisingly) moderately popular here in Canada. I have the 45 ;D

Wow -- the 3 I ultimately choosed from this list surprised me. I chose All I Need, Tender Love, and Don't Disturb This Groove over Heartbreak Beat and Never Ending Story, two that I really like. I don't hear the three slow songs much these days, but the sound of them brings up such a pleasant feeling that I chose them.
