The Song That Was Number One When You Were Born
In the States, anyway. Check here for yours. Mine is Candy Man by Sammy Davis, Jr, which I can live with. Perusing the whole list that runs from the 1940s to the present day there are some other wonders which were number one on my birthday - Elvis' "Heartbreak Hotel", Aretha's "Respect", "Paint It Black" by the Stones...but Paul bastard motherfucking McCarthey has been number one on my birthday four sodding times with his cheery low-key with my millions thumbs up drivel. No wonder I feel cursed.

Try this one instead. The UK chart might filter out some of that McChaff.
Oh no! Rolf Harris!!!! DAMN YOU UK!!!
T Rex – Metal Guru. Fucking get in!
Thankyou Walker, you have brought a smile back to my McCartney wizened face
No such respite for me. US -”Torn Between Two Lovers” by Mary McGregor, UK -”Don’t Give Up On Us” by David Soul. Dear Jesus.
If only I was 13 years younger, I could have had that infinitely wise and rueful rumination on the mysteries of love “Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat. Infinitely preferable.
Damn. Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock.” I’ve never loved that song.
By the way, thanks for this.
