Taking a cue from a well-known blogger, I'm checking out the #1 song the day I was born. Actually, there are two songs (I'm guessing an A/B sided record?) that were #1 that day, both by Carole King - "It's Too Late"/"I Feel the Earth Move." These songs seem diametrically opposed - one about the physical joys that can come with a relationship, the other about the ending of a (the same?) relationship - so it's humorous that they'd be on the same record. I seriously doubt this song was playing in my house at the time - my siblings were all young, and my parents didn't listen to Carole King.
Go here to check out your birthsong.
Mine was "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" by the Bee Gees. I'm not sure I've heard it before.
ReplyDelete"Lonely Boy" by Paul Anka. If I'm not mistaken, Carol King was your PC sister's favorite at the time. You might be surprised what your brothers and sisters listened to.
ReplyDeleteReally? I guess I should be. She would have been 14. I thought she only listened to the Monkees. What else did you listen to??
ReplyDeleteNight Fever by the Bee Gees off the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Maybe I should actually watch that movie now...or not.
ReplyDeleteBoy, do I feel old. Mine was "Mr. Sandman," by the Chordettes. (Yes, that makes me 53, wise guy.) And I know all of the songs mentioned above. (In reality, my birthdate is unknown. Mine was assigned to me after I was adopted -- so I could be even OLDER.)
