Switchin to Glide

Seriously, can you think of a better rock song from a band with only one hit? I can't.

Side note: I always thought this was Cheap Trick till recently. The classic rock station I listened to growing up never announced it was The Kings. It was usually played on Fridays on a evening drive bloc of similar party songs. I found it while trying to locate that lost Cheap Trick song that I could never remember the name of...lol.

Good submission, but they had another hit. "Monkey on my Back" or something like that.

At one time they were the top exporter from Sweden, or where ever it was they were from.

I wonder what ever happened to those guys?  Probably faded into obscurity like so many others.  It's a sad, flash-in-the-pan industry.

I kind of liked that song "Under Pressure" that I think they did, so technically they did 2 hits. It might have been a b-side on a single though.
