Wendy by the Association

Currently residing in the where are they now file

I’ve never heard anything so terrible, ever?


I have this paper the hospital gave my mom when I was born that has all kinds of current events and pop culture stuff on it relevant to the time, and it said Heart “These Dreams”, “Sara” starship, and “Nikita” Elton John are the top songs.

I’ll stick with those. Lol!

You Light Up My Life by Debby Boone

Well, this is... not that impressive.
Ugh. Really people? Really???

I was hoping for something cool.
Guess I'll just have to settle for just being born .

I always liked The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington, but I’m not sure if it exists anywhere these days.

1734...

LMAO.

Dang , I had to scroll way down for the year......
Good find. I actually bookmarked this for fun.

Aww , HADES , I just noticed the count of the number of minutes.
Can I get a refund ?

Did you happen to notice the minute count that you have been alive ?
I noticed mine....
If you didn't , DO NOT go back to look

Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole.

Damn, I'm old...

how'd that happen?

A double...

However I did watch "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" with Leo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt last night for free on Starz...

Conceived to ”All Shook Up”

Born to ”Don’t”

Both by Elvis Presley.

No wonder Mom alway had a “thing” for “The King”!

Think I'm the second one to have a Donna Summers song. Guess she was hot stuff back in the 70's.

Awesome...We can work it out--Beatles

Down Under by Men at Work in Jan '83. I actually really like this song and find the video pretty funny. If I ever go to Australia, this is the first song I'm going to play.

I'm thinking you're the bloke that motivated someone to start the 'get off my lawn' meme - so, probably around 1925-30.

Wouldn't matter what proof you offered up otherwise, you're from 1925-30.

That's before Elvis was born, so I can understand why all contributors on ATS are viewed as tools 99.9% of the time.

Thanks for that man. Really, it's just depressing.

"#1 song - Light my Fire - The Doors

If you want to start up a thread about how wrong I am because I hate the Doors then go ahead, just don't do it here. Start one, I'll be there.

Really, that's so wrong for my worldview that I'm going to pretend it didn't happen. Just like UNLV never lost to Duke in 1991. That was in an alternate universe.

I would have preferred Yummy, Yummy, Yummy

ETA: You should check out the song Timothy from The Bouy's and read about it on Songfacts. Trust me, you'll see the connection to what you wrote.

Thats not to bad Martha and The Vandella's "Dancing in the Street" definitely had it on a cassette or two during The Big Chill Days makes me remember an old friend who got me into listening to that MoTown sound. Hope you are well Mandy...
