Was his big album titled "Working Class Dog"?

I remember liking this album, had some good stuff.

I think that's right

and he dated Linda Blair (exorcist)

Before this thread gets all "Rick'd" up...

I've always been impressed with Modern English's "Melt With You" and Soft Cell's "Tainted Love".
Incredible hits, even if not the original version(Soft Cell). True definition of a great one hit wonder.

Well, I feel sometimes a songs true test is it's timelessness.

Then their are one hit wonders that are very in the moment or era, and they, in turn age quite terribly.

For example a song like 'Blinded by the light' is always fun

and a song like 'Rico Suave' or whatever, is pure shite a year down the road

I actually love 'little red riding hood' more then 'wild thing'

I always thought a group should redo 'little red riding hood' in a faster punkier style

You said it perfectly.
Tainted Love and Melt With You are timeless songs.

Rico Suave? Macarena? Not so much.

yeah, I was just kinda using that as an example as a more 'timeless tune' compared to an 'in the moment' hit
