Fancy

Fancy was a studio band in the mid 70's that surprised even themselves when their remake of "Wild Thing" became a monster hit in 1974, climbing to #14 on the Hot 100.  With a Penthouse Pet singing the lead, the song was unique as a novelty within a novelty.  Even though there's really nothing going on except a pretty girl moaning and sighing, the song was never taken seriously and is mostly forgotten today.
