Is this your coy way of asking how old we are?

1890 ... "Semper Fidelis" by U.S. Marine Band

MMascaro · 09-01-2008, 05:34 PM

No Daffy, they can just post the title without a date.

desertgrandma · 09-01-2008, 06:26 PM

Well, I had to scroll WAY down, but it was "Nature Boy" by Nat "King" Cole..........whose daughter in no way inherited his talent..........

Nate the great · 09-01-2008, 06:37 PM

"Tragedy" by The Bee Gees

I did not make that up. Honest.

BookishDreamer · 09-01-2008, 06:40 PM

I ended up with "Keep On Truckin'" by Eddie Kendricks. Never heard of the song or the artist.

He was with the Temptations.

"Theme from 'Shaft'" by Isaac Hayes

"Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" by Vera Lynn.

FizzyWater · 09-01-2008, 07:00 PM

Ye gods. It was Elvis (my mother's favorite singer, by the way). "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"

Cthulhu · 09-01-2008, 07:07 PM

Had to look up my #1 on the google. Even with the aid of YouTube, believe that I have never, ever, heard this song.

Oh well...

Greg Anos · 09-01-2008, 07:08 PM

Mine was something called "Singing The Blues" by Guy Mitchell. Never heard of it.....

JSWolf · 09-01-2008, 08:06 PM

I got shafted with a lousy song...

Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton

My wife got a good one...

Sherry by The Four Seasons

In Australia, the Number 1 song was, I think, Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum, though I've also seen reference to In The Summertime by either Mungo Jerry or The Mixtures. Good songs, all.

In the US, it was apparently Mama Told Me (Not to Come) by Three Dog Night...which is nice.

Cheers,
Marc

Marc--

You lucky penal colony b*stard.

@ JSWolf:
I take issue with your derisive view of "Blue Velvet." Not only is a great tune, but a haunting flick.

Seriously.
