There were few other singles of the time that boasted such an arresting opening hook: a searing, ominous distorted guitar riff that pulsed up and down like a cardiograph, backed by unearthly descending electronic glissandos and revival-meeting handclaps. It's also one of the songs most likely to be cited when "one-hit wonders" are discussed, though Norman Greenbaum did have a few other low-charting singles, both as a solo singer and a member of Dr. "Spirit in the Sky" was one of the biggest hits of 1970, peaking at #3 in the charts and staying in the Top Forty for 14 weeks.
