You look great for your age, Joe. Not a wrinkle in your socks.

Oh, and mine was "Dizzy" by Tommy Roe. It's been a self-fulfilling prophecy.

To include my birthday song. Don't you have anything better to do than sit there and read the fine print? Sheesh.

I've done this many times before, and it remains the same…

"Young Love" by Tab Hunter. Inferior cover of a Sonny James song by the hunk du jour of 1957. (He's really gay!)

On the day I was born, 'Careless Whisper' by George Michael was No. 1 in the UK and 'Ghostbusters' by Ray Parker Jr. was No. 1 in the US.

You couldn't ask for a better start in the world, Edna.

[Otokichi 9]

It took some doing, but "Faraway Places" performed by Perry Como was being played on radio in December, 1948.

When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Get Going - Billy Ocean for the UK

and

Kyrie - Mr. Mister (never heard this one)

[OLD 55 6]

Hi Otokichi ! "Buttons And Bows" / Dinah Shore was #1 in the U.S. until 24th December 1948. "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" / Spike Jones took over from it on December 25th.

If there's any Octogenarians out there, I have all the U.S. #1s back to 1920.

[edna 6]

It would be great to have an octogenarian songfactor...

[Levis 6]

Oh NooooOOOOooooo!

UK: Jack your Body - Steve 'Silk' Hurley

US: At This Moment - Billy Vera and the Beaters

WHY me?!!

[PSYCHOcatholic 0]

Octogenarian...

I remember back in the day...we had to walk in the snow up hill both ways to get to school! I almost crapped my pants everyday...well, i still do that! (snore) (snore) *dreaming* uhh...i need my depends!

[Shawna 1]

Reading through these posts makes me realize just how archaic I really am. I can remember 90% of the songs that were #1 on the days my fellow SFers were born - and how old I was at that time! Ugh.

Mine was "I Can't Stop Loving You" ~ Ray Charles

I don't even know that song.

[edna 6]

I´m sure you don´t remember the day "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford was #1...
