Was that in 1913 then? :P

[Eskander]

All right you lot, what if you were born before 1953? Ageist or what?

Since all the best music was from the '60s and those of us who were blessed to hear it the first time around were probably born before 1953, this survey is seriously floored.

The 1960s saw the change from American dominated stuff (Elvis etc) plus granny music (Frank Sinatra etc) - to British pop music at its best - Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, the Animals, Jimi Hendrix, The Who etc. And you want to cut us off because we were born before 1953? Well bug*er that for a laugh.

Errm, this should probably be a rant, sorry

[mazza]

:hihi: :hihi:(Holly!!)

Poor Matthew!!! :lol:

Oh Esk, don't be upset - I'll be grateful to reach 40, some people just don't get that far :( (oh, I'm not saying you're 40 by the way, but you know what I'm trying to say...!)

:)

Tsk, you mean 1883? :rolleyes: :lol:

[Maria2]

This one is fun.

Mine was Kon-Tiki by the Shadows (never heard of it)

Mazza never heard of Sugar Sugar by the Archies....I can even remember them on TOTP and it was a cartoon video thing (in black and white of course) :lol: :lol:

[bulliedbutbolshieboutit!]

:lol: I've never heard of Kon Tiki by the shadows either - and I'm an oldie(ish) :lol:

Eskander has a point though, love the 60's music myself.

Vanner, you've still not told us what your song is - is it that dreadful (No, not Nights in White Satin was it? aaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhh :lol: )

Bolsh

[Beth]

wasnt that the one where they started to do the shadow dance!


a bit wild westie/native american?

I like the shadows!! :blush:

[bulliedbutbolshieboutit!]

:) Yes, Beth, think I know which one you mean - was it called Apache?

[Beth]

ahhh yes it was!
doh to me! :lol: I will just say I must be far to young to know the answer then!!!!

My mum was here today and we tried to find her No one, but the year list didnt go back that far!! :lol: she was feeling very old afterwards! bless!!! :lol:

[Red1]

Puttin on the style, Lonnie Donegan :o I know the song and the man, maybe old but not so old I can't remember it.

Gonna find Harleys now ;)

[Red1]

Oh Mein Papa was Harleys, I know that one too, sung at many a hogmanay party, enhanced by the copious amounts of 'tonic' consumed to get the dutch courage in the first place. Ah, i remember it well.

[Maria2]

Beth just made a valid point here about here poor mum Bless her :cry: about the chart record not going that far back :(

MAYBE that is why VANNER

[Maria2]

Beth, your poor mum :( the chart link not going back that far....tell her not to feel that old.

I reckon that is the reason VANNER not given us the number one when he was born :lol: :lol:

[laminateloony]

Mine's 'Everlasting Love' by Love Affair :wub:

Wish I'd been born 20 years earlier, instead of having my teens hijacked by all the techno-pop c**p!

LL

[Maria2]

LL

Good song that........I remember it well. My big sister played it all the time :blush:

[Blue Cow]

Hi SP

You've probably heard the Don Mclean one - it starts "Starry starry night" etc and is very depressing !!

9pm (Till I come) by ATB,** actually he came at 10:10am

Men never can be punctual!

[Eskander]

Re Vincent and ""Starry starry night" etc and is very depressing !!" Actually, I like it and find it rather moving - for those who don't know it, it's based on the rather tragic life (and death) of Vincent van Gogh.

But as I mentioned before, I'm still sulking because I was born too early for this.

[mazza]

Awww poor Esk, :(

Here's some flowers and pizza to cheer you up! :D

:flowers: :pizza: :daisy:

Starry Starry night- is a very sad song I think..didn't know it was about Van Gogh tho'! But having thought about the lyrics, a bit obvious now you mention it !! :blush:

[muckshifter]

BROKEN WINGS
The Stargazers - 1953

:P

[christina]

:hihi:

[Maria2]

## you are my candy girl.................##

[Annabel]

its certainly of its time that song, but quite a cute song for a mum to sing to her little girl !

not like the one for my daughter which was 'killing me softly' by the fugees 8-X ( ialready put that one in the cringe pile!)

[freakyfun]

I'm depressed now - I thought it would have been something much better then "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" by
Middle Of The Road


*sigh*

FF

[Annabel]

chirpy chirpy cheep cheep was the birdy song of its day , eh FF!!! :D

oooeeee, chirpychirpy cheep cheep chirpy chirpy cheepcheep chirp! :wow: B)

[crispy32]

It wasn't a particularly great time for music when I was born as the UK No 1 that week was

Diana by Paul Anka

The US No 1 was Wake Up Little Susie by The Everly Brothers

now if I'd been born a week later the US No 1 was Jailhouse Rock By Elvis

[Enterian]

I Remember You by Frank Ifield - OH MY GOD - I was born to the sound of yodelling! :glug:


EDIT: Dammit this should have been a reply to the No 1's post! I can't delete it either, so now everyone knows I'm stupid! :withstupid: It's not my fault, I was yodelled to when I was born.

[Blue Cow]

:lol: :lol: No worries Enterian

Sorted B)


As for the song...... :blink: :blink: :hihi:

[lynn]

[JJ]

the sugar puff song ''Sugar Sugar'' by the Archies was at no.1 when i was born


fuj

[Blue Cow]

the sugar puff song ''Sugar Sugar'' by the Archies was at no.1 when i was born


I used to have that on a really bad seventies style compilation album :wacko:

They don't make 'em like they used to (thank goodness!!) ;)

[sally]

Did someone really say who's spandau ballet..oh my gosh..what a band ..grew up with them

The first tune I remember was Buts and Pieces by the Dave Clark five..before most of your time I guess..
I have older sisters and they used to go to the crawdaddy club on Eel pie island..
they saw wait for it ..the rolling stones filling up their mini at our local petrol station ..

My hero though is was and will always be Bob Marley..if you look beyond the pop/reggae..and listen to the cultural stuff..there was a man who could tell the future..

[Bird Woman]

abba - waterloo.

i love abba.

mr BWs is maggie may by rod stewart.

our mate came round last night and we looked his up, poor bloke its a gary glitter song.

[Bird Woman]

[Eeyore]

My ding-a-ling, Chuck Berry, thats rude isn't it! :P

The day after I was born though, Little Jimmy Osmond, Long Haired Lover from Liverpool, oh no, dreadful! :bigeyes:

[-P-]

I never realised that Blue Cow had left the link for the American version.

The U.S. No.1 on the 17th May 1983 was... Beat It by Michael Jackson

Cool or what, better than the British number one at the time anyway ( True by Spandau Ballet ) lol

[Gdvs]

Lonnie Donigan's 'My Old Man's A Dustman' was No.1 on the day I was born, swiftly followed a couple of days later by Anthony Newley singing 'Do You Mind'

My favourite from that year though is 'Hit Or Miss' (the 'Juke Box Jury' theme) by The John Barry Seven.

[/b]


He sung it with a French accent.It went:

Where do you to my lovely?
When you're alone in your bed.
Do you dream of moments of laughter?
All the things going round in your head.

Yes you do. You know you do.

I'm humming it now :thumbs:

[Beth]

topics merged :)

[Lizzie-Ann]

I love my number one - Schools Out by Alice Cooper.

Mr LA no 1 is Lily the Pink by Scaffold/US Hey Jude by the Beetles (definately happier by the latter rather than the former)

Miss LA - Killing Me Softly by Fugees

Master LA - Deeper Underground by Jamiroquai.

Quite weird thing is that these reflect our musical tastes totally.

[KerriP]

Uk in 1982 Kraftwork- The Model
US in 1982 Centrefold- J.Geils band :hihi:

[edgey79]
