No. 1 song the day you were born

Post by Drewcifer »

This is cool, a link I found on a music BBS I've been visiting lately.

Go to: http://www.thisdayinmusic.com and click on "your birthday no. 1"

Mine were "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam in the US, and "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies in the UK.

haha, I'm old :)

And if we've done this before, I don't remember it, so let's do it again :mrgreen:

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...
