According to this day in music the number one record on the day I was born was "Those Were The Days" by Mary Hopkin. There goes even more of my street cred.
Luckily, they also tell you what was number 1 in the USA on the same day as well. In my case it was "Hey Jude" by the Beatles. Phew, some cred regained.
Go on, check your own and leave a message in the comments.
Sadly for my son and heir his two slices of pop joy are "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce and, er, "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce. I shall remedy this with a continuation of his musical education when I get home tonight. Our next lesson is entitled "The most underrated singer-songwriter in Britain" and focusses on the work of Mr Boo Hewerdine.
Disturbingly, Mary Hopkin was number one on my birthday as well………
Bohemian Rapsody by Queen in the UK and Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers in the US. Hmmmmm.
My Sweet Lord, George Harrison (UK), I can live with that, and One Bad Apple (I can live with that as well) by the Osmonds, now please excuse me while I go and find a firearm.
Well.. ‘Lily the pink’ by the Scaffolds (UK) and saved by ‘I heard it through the grapevine’ – Marvin Gaye (US). Now I have had that lovely lily the pink tune in my head all day.
“Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)” Benny Hill. Says it all really.
