One-day Wonders — Pt. 2

Some songs have been recorded umpteen times, and sometimes it is difficult to find out how many versions actually exist. At the other end of the spectrum, many a treasure is hidden that, despite its often well-known composers, lyricists and performers, has only been recorded once. They deserve just as much not to be unheard—so let’s clear the stage for these one-day wonders!
