Sept. 6, 1969:
“In the Year 2525,” by Zager and Evans.
I can definitely deal with that 
The number 1 on the 1st November 1973 was Daydreamer / The Puppy Song by David Cassidy
I really… I mean really don’t want to know.
July 8th, 1981 was “One Day In Your Life” by Micheal Jackson. Yay.
–Tim
TENGU!!!
Never ever search out that song. I can actually dimly remember it, and am actively suppressing it. It’s most absolutely horrid. Where is David Soul now? Still washing his mouth out from that abomination methinks. Don’t look back. Get another Birthday. Whatever. But please never let that song cross your auricular proclivities again. Ya’ve been warned!
C’est Muy Loco Muzak…
May 2, 1967
“Puppet on a String” by Sandie Shaw
Who could forget …
Take heart . . . there’s always the Rezillos’ cover of it, which is as good as the original was . . . well, not good. That’s two of us on whose birthdate the UK #1 pop song was covered on the Rezillos’ first album, Can’t Stand the Rezillos (see my earlier post in this thread).
Aug 29th, 1968: Do it Again, by The Beach Boys
I draw a blank on the song, not the group.
June 22, 1958:
Who’s Sorry Now by Connie Francis.
That’s what I got as well, Ike. 1960 was a good year…
The number 1 on the 12th July 1969 was Something In The Air by Thunderclap Newman
Who the fuck is Thunderclap Newman?..breaks out the napster.
I got “See My Baby Jive” by Wizzard for June 1, 1973.
What the hell?
Never heard of it.
“Let’s Dance” by David Bowie.
Monster104 I have to bitch slap you now for making me feel old.
[slap]
Sorry, it had to be done.
Too bad you couldn’t have gotten Bowie’s “A Space Oddity” Now that was a good song.
I got 15 Dec 1958
Hoots mon - Lord Rockinghams eleven.
Worse still as a kid of 11 years old I got that off a junk stall and loved it.
Rock ‘n’ roll to the tune of A hundred pipers with Scottish interjections like
“Hoots mon there’s a moose loose aboot this hoose”
and
“It’s a braw bricht moonlicht nicht”
Yup And even worse is that I still have that record somewhere.
London So you’re older than me - nyer nyer nyer.
For anyone interested, the Archies were a made up group that only existed as a promo cartoon, we never got to see them, IIRC “Sugar sugar” was top of the charts for about 8 weeks so there may be lots of sorry people out there. It was part of a genre of childlike music called bubblegum rock with other notable bands like the 1910 Fruitgum Company. Appropriately it dissappeared just as quickly as it came about - you might say that the bubble burst rather quickly.
December 4, 1977: Mull of Kintyre/Girl’s School by Wings.
Mull of Kintyre is one of my favorite songs…I’ve never heard of Girl’s School, though.
sigh
Mull of Kintyre,
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here,
On Mull of Kintyre…
Well, I drew "Yellow River by Christie " which I’ve never heard of, so I’m not exactly overjoyed. Maybe if I can find a copy…

So does anyone remember the other guy from ‘Miami Vice’? (I pity anyone who got his song for their birthdate.)
And who was the other guy in “Starsky & Hutch”? And did he record an album?
[/hijack]
February 22nd, 1984: Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax. Just one month earlier, and I would’ve had Pipes of Piece by Paul McCartney. Damn my parents. (They couldn’t even have had me on the 29th, so everyone would think I was cool for being born on a leap day.)
screech-owl: Dunno about the Miami Vice sidekick, but David Soul’s counterpart was Michael Ontkean. He redeemed himself by appearing as the brooding sheriff/police chief (?) in “Twin Peaks”. He was always way better than David Soul, whose very name makes ya wanna puke. “David” means “beloved”. Yark, what an ego!
The number one song in the UK when my daughter was born this January is a Britney Spears number.
It is the sign of the apocalypse.
