US- Opposites Attracts by Paula Abdul

Is this some kind of cruel joke!?

UK-Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor

Don't even know this song. I have heard of Sinead O'Connor though.

Oh Dave, you make me feel as though I should be applying for my AARP card!

[Wyld Card 5]

Same here about feeling old ,

That was in 89 or 90? You're pretty young to be into Pink Floyd & other talented progressive rock. He knows his music, Nice Choice

And Yazz...is that the group that was fronted by Allison Moyet? That girl is so underrated. Talk about blue-eyed soul.

"Where Do You Go My Lovely?" by Peter Sarstedt (I'm sure Petey is a lovely man, but I've never heard of him.)

"Dizzy" by Tommy Roe (and I've been dizzy ever since, folks.)

On the US charts Elvis had Hound Dog and Don't Be Cruel. Can you have 2 #1 hits at the same time? I guess he was on a roll. (understatement)

US- Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

UK- You to me are everything - The Real Thing..

I feel old when I see that someone was born when Paula Abdul was #1... Just when I was getting use to it.. :beady:

I know what you mean, mich. When Paula Abdul was big, I had already graduated, done a stint in the army, and was working at DuPont.

But you know what? These young people are refreshing. To think that they've never known a world without MTV freaks me out a bit.

Wow, you're a lot younger than I thought.

Wow, you're a lot younger than I thought.

I'm not quite sure how to take that, so I'm going to assume you are being a jackass, because that's your usual stance.

So, BMOA... ::

[Aunt_Acid 1]

I guess that's what I get for being a smartass 99% of the time. I actually was serious, I always envisioned you being a lot older like my mom's age. I can't tell you her age, because when she was born, time hadn't been invented yet.

Mack The Knife was number one when I was born. It charted first for six weeks between Oct 5 and Nov 15 of 1959. Mack The Knife was also the number one song of that year.

[Aunt_Acid 1]

Wow, I thought that song came out in the late forties. What a great tune.
