See what song was No 1 on the day you were born

[Greenpea]

Have you seen www.thisdayinmusic.com

It's a good fun site that tell's you what was number 1 on the day you were born in the UK & The US.

It also show's you which pop stars you share your birthday with.

My number 1's are 'You're So Vain' Carly Simon in the US
and UK is 'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' Little Jimmy Osmond!

I share my birthday with Elvis, David Bowie, Robert Krieger from The Doors and R Kelly!

Looks like a spam site disquised as a novelty site...

You have to give them your email for the answer..... I can just see the wave of spam coming afterwards.

Thanks for the link anyhow.

That's kinda cool. Mine was 'American Woman' by The Guess Who. Canadian Band topping the US Charts. Never thought much of the tune, even less after what's his name did a cover of it.

I am old and very wise in most things except homerecc'ing.


USA Hit was "Ballad of the Green Berets" by Sgt. Sadler
(have you every seen the old clip of him singing that on some variety show way long ago?)

U.K. hit "These Boots Are Made for Walking" Nancy Sinatra

Green Berets, Boots ? What an interesting coincidence

[Mark7]

When A Man Loves A Woman by Percy Sledge over that side of the Pond, and Francis Albert singing Strangers In The Night on this side.

Classic!

[Mark7]

Okay, fess up. Who's U.K. Birthday No 1 is Agadoo?

[drstawl]

Heartbreak Hotel by the King himself, Elvis Presley.

Over Yonder it was No Other Love by Ronnie Hilton.

[Turnip]

"Heartache Tonight" by the Eagles

Funny, I seem remember having a headache that night, not a heartache.

Besides, I'm sure Mom's heartache didn't start until 18 years after that, when I ran off and joined the porn industry.

*shrug*

[jake-owa]

Mine was my love by Paul McCartney and Wings.

I guess that's ok if you're gay.
