Like I said, time’s a funny critter, ain’t it?
Oh. My. God.
“Welcome Back” by John Sebastian
Yes, the fucking Welcome Back Kotter song.
Excuse me while I put my skull in a vice.
“Eight Days a Week” by the Beatles.
Not my favorite Beatles song but, overall, not bad.
Seriously. If you hear that song, you’ll try to get your birth date legally changed.
“Moody River” by Pat Boone. My mother also specifically recorded “Tossin’ and Turnin’” by Bobby Lewis in my baby book

“Love Me Do” by the Beatles on 25 May 1964
Crazy Little Thing Called Love, the Queen version.
“You Can’t Hurry Love” by the Supremes.
Which perhaps explains why I didn’t lose my virginity till I was 18…
“Auf Wiederseh’n Sweetheart” by Vera Lynn (8/22/52)
“Light My Fire” by The Doors!
So Lady Fried and I were born on the same day…
or did that song hit #1 twice?
The same as my middle name:
“Wild Thing” by The Troggs
28-Jul-1966
“Broken Wings” by Mr. Mister.
That was Dec. 6th, 1985, by the way.
Who the hell is Nelson Riddle?
22 February 1956 … “Lisbon Antigua” by Nelson Riddle
“Billy, Don’t Be a Hero” by Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods
I vaguely recognize this song. Maybe.
“Hey Jude” by The Beatles
Well, songs are usually #1 for a span of weeks. Presumably you two were just born with a week or so of one another, maybe months for some really popular songs. Beat It would be a good example.
Don’t look, Ethel!
Mine was Tommy Edwards’ “It’s All In The Game” (second version, the hit one).
October 1, 1958.
:smack: My first thought was, no, the songs around it weren’t the same, but those were the songs that were #1 on my birthday during different years.
Oops.
1956 was only 50 years ago. I was born in '46, and I’ll be 60.
