What song was #1 on the day you were born

Hey, that song kicks ass! Thanks for jumping in on this one, cause I had already blown it off. YouTube has a pretty sweet version by a tribute band called The Wrights from just a few years ago.

I thought I had scored with “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe” and “Kung Fu Fighting”; now I think this might be the best song of the three. I’m feeling pretty good about my chances of winning the unofficial “Best Birthday Songs” award now.

Thanks again for cluing me in.

What about Trois Gymnopithys by Erik Satie?

Thank you Elephant Screw (hm… pardon me, just a slip of the tongue :wink: ).
I doubt that the Trois Gymnopédies were a hit at that time if they ever have been. I’ve never listen to them… (I’m no Erik Satie fan though).

You must have been born the day my parents got married (10/19/68).

This one is particularly accurate.

I am here to astound you with my youth and say “The Sign” by Ace of Base.
