Sound, but I think the title doesn't have enough characters.

I think FOCUS would be the most obvious prog candidate. Nothing like "Hocus Pocus" from them or any other band ever even on the album it came from.

Nah, that was very similar to "Waiting For A Girl Like You" from Foreigner 4

I would note that "Harem Scarem" off the later Hamburger Concerto has similarities.

You can edit - Band Hits not indicative of the regular sound.

Led Zeppelin - All My Love
(I know Jimmy didn't like it, but probably waited until after they broke up to mention this in an interview, because of Robert's deceased son)

Only vaguely in rhythmic beats and a few wordless utterances but HOCUS POCUS is a hard rock tune with yodelling! Neither of these elements is present on HAREM SCAREM. Great track though.

Also, the thread is about hits and HOCUS POCUS was a surprise hit for the band, another aspect the band never experienced again. Prog bands focused on albums, not singles for the most part.

I'm not sure I agree with this. Black Sabbath had quite a few non heavy metal tracks interspersed among their heavy metal tracks, to the extent that one could say that the non heavy metal tracks were a normal part of Black Sabbath's style. Here is a list of non heavy metal tracks from the first eight albums (although the first and eighth albums did not have any):
 
Paranoid - Planet Caravan
Master Of Reality - Embryo
Master Of Reality - Orchid
Master Of Reality - Solitude
Black Sabbath Vol 4 - Changes
Black Sabbath Vol 4 - FX
Black Sabbath Vol 4 - Laguna Sunrise
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Fluff
Sabotage - Don't Start (Too Late)
Technical Ecstasy - She's Gone

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
