Fill in your date of Birth on the link and it will tell you what was no. 1 on the day you were born.

(it only goes to 1952, so if you’re before that, I dont know, let just say it was George Formby singing “When I’m Cleaning Windows”)
incidentaly, while searching for this site, I came across the rather morbid http://www.mycemetry.com

while it is a good Idea for people to be able to have somewhere to remember their pets, who would want to go around reading other pets “gravestones”??

Blockbuster by The Sweet. At least I know the band in this case :smiley:

I haven’t clicked on that cemtery link yet, I’m at work. Is it OK?

Its ok, its just a little strange to be reading pets headstones.

When I was born it was “Sugar Baby Love” by the Rubettes. I have no idea who they are or what the song sounds like. Maybe cause I was born in Korea and they only had Korean music playing in the delivery room.

On the day my son was born, 2 July 1995, the number one song was “Abbaesque” by Erasure. That, I remember.

“This is only a test!”

That’s what it says. Does this site use Flash or any sort of advanced Java shit beyond our beloved Version Java 200BC?

‘Summer Holiday’ by Cliff Richard And The Shadows.

That was fun. Know of any links like this for other countries?

Tater, I know that song. It’s positively horrific :wink:

All it says is “This is Only A Test!”? Are you playing a sick sort of joke, trying to see how many people would rather read pet headstones than work? Because, mister, I’ll have you know that one of my turtles is looking a little off, and I had a very good reason for looking at that site (I’m no good at writing epitaphs). You suck!

:wink:

Well, of course you know that song, Coldy, compared to me, you’re ancient! :smiley:

On the day my mom was born, the number one song was “Let’s Have Another Party” by Winifred Atwell. My what funny names pop stars had way back then.

aside grom the obvious one: http://www.rubettes.com/
I found http://website.lineone.net/~michelec/

and this one with Rubettes live listings in Germany.

They were a glam band, If I remember the song, with a high pitched singer.

God, the things I look for for you Tater! :wink:

it was there earlier!!! I swear!!! I was reading about some guy’s german shepherd!

I’ll find the link again…

there it is!

Um, Twistycakes, dearheart, would you like me to bring you a life when I come to Dublin next week? Really, it’s no bother…

On the day my girlfriend was born: Cum On Feel The Noize by Slade. My word, there was a LOT of crap music back in 1973!

<….GULP….>

<….Deep Breadth…>

‘Stupid Cupid’ by Connie Francis - a certain irony, there.

I remember ‘Blockbuster’ before it was a video store (“You better beware, you’d better take care…” Kind of explains any subsequent absence of musical taste AKA Rush …and even ‘Sugar Baby Love’, though I was too young to be influenced by sequins and high pitched delivery. Thank the Lord for small mercies.

or even breathe

OK, I have to seriously take issue with all things said against Slade. ‘Cum on feel the noise’ was, and is, a classic. And Noddy Holder’s sideburns are still an iconoclastic fashion statement.

Does anyone know the way, there’s got to be a way to BLOCKBUSTER!!!

‘I believe’ by Frankie Laine.

I believe I’m old…

Needless to say, I just tossed my lunch. What utter nonsense. That poor dog probably coulnd’t stand this idiot anymore and must have run like hell!
