Title: See what song was No.1 on the day you were born
Post by: Mudbugfish on February 23, 2005, 09:37:29 am: Have you seen this? www.thisdayinmusic.com

It shows you what was No.1 in the charts on the day you were born.

(Go to Birthday No.1 at the top of the site).

My number 1's are
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK

Loads of other good fun music trivia on the site as well.

I gotta admit, it IS an interesting way to do so! I didn't even bother to check his profile until you said something, Peale!

And it was interesting enough that I went and did it!

The Long And Winding Road - The Beatles (For the U.S. chart, oddly enough)
In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry (For the U.K. chart)

Tell me THOSE two chart toppers don't seem to be mixed up!

And the "life song"...anybody else catch that? Mine?

(U.S.) Together Forever - Rick Astley
(U.K.) Always On My Mind - The Pet Shop Boys

Too bad for fredster they were just inventing the phonograph when he was born ;) Did you you hear the "crazy" invention they came up with the year BEFORE he was born? Interesting thing, it was. They called it......"dirt" (http://img116.exs.cx/img116/1231/z7shysterical.gif)

Seriously. The crap that was number one when I was born was:

US: Barbara Streisand - Love Theme from 'A Star Is Born'
UK: Leo Sayer - When I Need You

And these 'life songs' aren't any better:

US: Madonna - Take A Bow
UK: Celine Dion - Think Twice

They must have been hurting for songs back in March of '77. :P

You're right about that (I've gone back a couple times today). Anyway, he could have done like the others and signed up and hit every board with "Want a free ipod? Click here, it really works." ;)
