Unfortunately I think I'm too old for N0 1's in this sense. I think the modern charts began with Al Martino having a number 1 in 1950 something. I preced this and suspect I'd have to look for sales of sheet music. Enjoyed recollecting what I was doing or might have been doing as some people came 'helpless, naked, piping loud' into the world.

Monster Mash-Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers-US 2. Telstar-The Tornados-UK Guess that explains why my favorite holiday is Halloween! Well, that and I was born in October. _________________________ "Life and Death are only temporary, but Freedom goes on Forever" from the movie "Crazy in Alabama"

_elbereth_ Forum Adept Registered: Tue Jun 22 2004 Posts: 129 Loc: Adelaide South Australia	well it didn't start out well, the UK one was 'The Power Of Love' - Jennifer Rush, which I have never heard of but it rapidly got better, because the US one was 'Take on me' by A-Ha which I love for some obscure reason Couldn't resist doing the life theme song, and came up with: UK: 'Where is the love' -Black Eyed Peas US: 'Baby Boy' - Beyonce One is a 'yay', and the other a definite 'nay', but I won't tell you guys which one is which

kvrgirl1 Participant Registered: Wed May 10 2006 Posts: 20 Loc: Washington State USA	Dearest Agony - Just went back and read thru all the posts and - lo and behold - we seem to have been born on the same day, at least we have the same #1s. June 21, 1957? I guess it would be odd if I had been the ONLY baby born on that day, but it was a jolt to find out that on some level I must have been thinking just that! Belated welcome to the world, sorry I didn't manage a greeting back then but I was occupied with sundry events such as getting born, etc.

supersal1 Mainstay Registered: Sat Jul 17 2004 Posts: 727 Loc: Essex UK	Mine were Diana (Paul Anka) and Honeycomb (Jimmy Rogers). Never heard of the second one. Theme song - Sailing by Rob Stewart. I can live with that. Spookily, I've just put the finishing touches to a CD for my brother's 50th birthday today. I've tried to get all the no. 1's for each year on his birthday. I've used both charts and sometimes I've had to go to the best selling record for the year because the No. 1 on his birthday was so awful. The CD kicks off with 'Memories are Made of This' and finishes with 'I Want to be a Punk Rocker With Flowers in my Hair' (No. 2 at the moment, but I thought it appropriate and the No. 1 is simply terrible). I've made the covers from a montage of photos of him growing up. That and a bottle of 'Old Git' wine will do for a present.
