Well, I officially got the coolest hit so far!
Roy Orbison’s "Only the Lonely."
The only possibly cooler one would be his “In Dreams.”
November 2, 1975: I Only Have Eyes For You by Art Garfunkel.
ARGH!!!
27/9/68: Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkin. Missed out on Hey Jude by a week. That’d be because my father had a “Stamp out the Beatles” bumper sticker.
“FERNANDO” BY ABBA?!?
Oh my God, noooo…
Would one of the lucky bastards who got “Band of Gold” care to trade?
heeheehee.
‘Cinderella Rockefella’ by Esther and Abi Ofarim
Can’t claim that I’ve ever heard it. I can only imagine…
Somehow Humperdink is sooooo appropriate for you on this day!
Have a happy one oh ancient one in training 
Oooh, I like mine.
Aug 11, 1965 - “Help” by The Beatles.
It’s a sign, I’m sure of it.
Regarding “Band of Gold”, turn on your local golden oldies station and you’ll hear it within a couple of hours. It is one of the twelve song playlist they are all required by law to play. Along with “Me and Bobby McGee”, “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”, “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay”, and “Brandy.”
For me it was “It’s Now or Never” by the King.
“Coz I Luv You” by Slade.
God help me! I was born under the sign of GlamRock!?
Oh, Lord, Phil, tell you sister I feel her pain. “Please Release Me” by Engelbert Humperdinck was still topping the charts a month later when I came along- April 12, 1967. “Gone from the charts but not from our hearts…” Yea, right.
Pah!
I got Smokey Robinson’s "Tears of a Clown."
Beat that!
Argh!
::preview preview preview::
BTW, ToddlerNym beat me.
She got “Chocolate Salty Balls (PS I Love You)” by Chef.
Rock-A-Hula Baby/Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley
Ugh. I hate Elvis. (And all of his damnable impersonators.)
Well, I share a birthdate with Falcon and my song with pldennison… 2 Nov 1969, “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies.
Mrs. O, born 9 Oct 1960, gets “Tell Laura I Love Her” by Ricky Valance.
And the Tzeroling, born 30 Aug 1993, gets “Mr. Vain” by Culture Beat.
What the hell is this crap? Doomed by being born under spooty No. 1 songs.

The number 1 on the 8th June 1954 was Secret Love by Doris Day
:: singing :: “Once I had a secret lo-ove…”
15th July 1964: “House Of The Rising Sun” by The Animals
Well, I’m with UncaB on the Last Train to Memphis:
Little Sister/His Latest Flame by Elvis Presley
And UncaB, mebbe that explains why you were such a Hunka Hunka Burnin’ Love wearin’ that hula skirt at the last Chicago Dopefest. 
Uke; ya do have the coolest song so far in my book!
Don’t Give Up On Us by David Soul was the top song in the UK when I was born.
“The number 1 on the 7th February 1983 was Down Under by Men At Work.”
