What song was #1 the day you were born?

Yay!

UK - Space Oddity by David Bowie.

Less Yay (but still ok)

US - Island Girl by Elton John

Holy crap! I now feel old from all the posters that were born in the 80s.

Someone, please hold me…

<sobbing>

Owner of a Lonley Heart by Yes. jan. 24, 1984. WOW that is such a bad song.

Birthday:

US - “Grazing in the Grass” by Hugh Masekela (WTF? never heard of it or him)
UK - “Baby Come Back” by The Equals

18th Birthday:

UK - “Papa Don’t Preach” by Madonna

yeeeccchhh

Ack!

October 12, 1974…

US: “I Honestly Love You” by Olivia Newton-John
UK: “Annie’s Song” by John Denver

I’m all about easy listening. Well, easy listening and Bad Brains.

Okay, on September 29, 1985, the world was listening to:

US: “Money for Nothing”, Dire Straights. I’m more of a “Sultans of Swing” guy myself, but it’ll do.
UK: “Dancing in the Street”, Mick Jagger & David Bowie. Never heard it.

18th birthday: Sadly, the site doesn’t go up to 2003…

Could be worse…my sister got “Never Gonna Give You Up”, by Rick Astley. Heh.

Jeez, you kids have some sucky songs on your birthdays!

Mine was Light My Fire by the Doors. Yeah baby!

April 10th, 1977
US- “Dancing Queen” by ABBA (I hate this song, btw)
UK- " Knowing you Knowing me" also by ABBA

Oh well, at least it’s not that irritating “Easter Parade” song, all things considered.

Heartbreak Hotel

If you have to ask about the artist, well, what can I say?
:smiley:

Mine was Maggie May by Rod Stewart.

I fucking hate Rod Stewart.

Why couldn’t it have been something by Zepplin or somebody cool. (I know, they prob. never had a #1, I’m just venting)

On May 2, 1967, it was …
Oh, geez …
“Somethin’ Stupid,” by Frank and Nancy Sinatra
In the UK, it was “Puppet on a String” by Sandie Shaw :confused:

18th birthday:

U.S. - Phil Collins “One More Night”
U.K. - USA for Africa “We are the World”
(talk about taking you back to a particular era)

March 17, 1975:
U.S. - “Black Water” by the Doobie Brothers
U.K. “If” by Tele Savalas??? I’m not quite sure how I should feel about that one.

Tiger’s Feet by Mud in the UK (never heard it or about the band)
You’re Sixteen by Ringo Starr in the US (kind’a lame, innit?)

US: Toto - “Africa”
UK: Men at Work - “Down Under”

Not bad. But man, I’m getting old.

December 31st, 1949, and I can’t find anything that even tells me what music was playing at that time. I suspect it was something within a program called Your Hit Parade, but a search turns up exactly zilcho.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Quas

On February 19, 1989 it was Straight Up by Paula Abdul. Good god, save me.

B-day, March 26, 1966
US: “The Ballad of the Green Berets” by Sgt. Barry Sadler
UK: “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” by The Walker Brothers

Call out the marines, folks, the sun has packed it in.
18th: March 26, 1984
US: “Jump” by Van Halen
UK: “Hello” by Lionel Ritchie

Ahh, good old brevity.

I dislike all these songs.
