Big black boots
Long brown hair
She's so sweet with her
Get-back stare

"One hit" may be correct, but the album is fun throughout (with conscious nods to the Beatles, etc.) and the follow-up album Shine On is a flat-out 10.

I don't know that I would consider these guys one-hit wonders, exactly. While this was their biggest song to date, "Cold Hard Bitch" and "Look What You've Done" (which surprises me that it isn't in RP's playlist...very Beatlesesque, if that's a word, and probably their best song) were both pretty successful.  

Overall, I like these guys...I haven't heard a ton, but I like what I've heard...

Yes, these guys took full commercial advantage of their "15 minutes", and this song may be derivative and all, but when I used to work in construction and/or house painting, it was a good diversion to crank this song when it came on the radio.  Oddly, outside of that dubious setting, I don't really care for it, but not enough to turn it off.  There's a lot of worse stuff.
