In 1976, Perth band Supernaut had a number one hit with 'I Like It Both Ways'. They followed that with the #19 hit 'Too Hot To Touch' so theoretically they do not qualify as one hit wonders but what a hit their one hit was.
Supernaut has reformed for the Countdown Spectacular concert, and we must give singer Gary Twinn the prize for the best preserved performer on the evening.Supernaut were one of the best sounding acts on the show as well. They performed the 1976 hit and the crowd still knew every word.
The band were another Molly Meldrum discovery. On Molly's recommendation, the band signed with Polydor Records and Meldrum produced the song.
However, longevity wasn't to be. A change in sound, a change in image and a change in producer alienated Supernaut (now called the Nauts) from their original fan-base.
They disbanded in 1980.
Gary Twinn went on to form Twenty Flight Rockers, Chris Burham joined The Saints, Joe Burham now composes film scores and Philip Foxman writes scores for Network Ten and MTV.
