Same as mine (April 28, '82 and 2000).
Yes, she is. She’s pretty much a one-hit wonder.
And I’m the Doper responsible for the bump. I did a search for a completely different thread and this was one of the ones that came up.
Go figure.
Whew I almost jided Coldfire for being a wet blanket and sniping at Opal for starting a thread that was started six months prior back in 2001! Then I noticed the dates!
Any way it says the ** SHirelles’ ** - ** Soldier Boy** was the hit when I was born. When were soldiers ever called boys? I mean in the USA?
" The tide is high" By : Blondie . I dont even know what song that is ?
Careless Whisper by Wham! featuring George Michael
WTF…
Mine are rather appropriate:

Wanna make something of it?
For June 1, 1973…
US charts - Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group
UK charts - My Baby Jive by Wizzard
I’ve never hard of the song My Baby Jive, but I’m pretty sure Frankenstein would kick it’s ass. US rules! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Billie Jean by Michael “Baby-Dangling Oversurgeoned Freak of Nature” Jackson
No wonder I’m so screwed up.
Hello by Lionel Ritchie.
Uk “seven tears” by the goombay dance band
WTF??
US “i love rock n’ roll” joan jett and the blackhearts.

The Beatles - Help
Herman’s Hermits - Henry VIII
Hey Paula, by Paul & Paula (US)

How dorky…:rolleyes:
slaps buzzer
What song kept a-ha’s “Take On Me” from reaching the top of the UK charts - the only major chart where it did not snatch the #1 spot as it was burning itself into the brain cells of a generation?
Okay, Alex, I’ll stick with this category. “Useless Facts Nobody Else on the SDMB Knows Or Cares About” for 800
Topping both the UK and the US charts when I was born: Honky Tonk Woman by the Rolling Stones. Note to the Stones: You’re gettin’ old, guys.
Fella bilong missus flodnak was born into a world where Harry Belafonte’s version of Mary’s Boy Child topped the UK charts, while the Pelvis himself held the #1 spot on the US charts with Jailhouse Rock.
Incidentally, the page will work even with a fake address…
