What song was #1 on the day you were born?
Link.
My song? "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"! Talk about yer timeless classics.
CWCID: Cassandra, who, by the way, wants us to admit what hurl-worthy songs you loved back in the day.

My song is "Love Will Keep Us Together" by the dynamic duo, The Captain & Tennille. Prototypical 70's boogie-woogie song.
Hurl-worthy songs? When I was like 3 or 4, I loved "I Love a Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbit, and I sung it *everywhere*. My poor parents. I guess Dora the Explorer is my karmic payback now.

Dear Lord. That's going to be the Ear-worm From Hell for the rest of the day...

(actually I adored that song when I was a wee tyke, but we won't go there...)

Well I must say that I am crushed.
I had high hopes of coming back here and learning that Screwy and CardinalPark loved the same silly, sappy song as rosy-cheeked cherubs. I thought it might be one of those separated-at-birth moments that just made everything *so* right with the Cosmos... heh :D

No sale?

How about TigerHawk and What's his Noodle? The Poor Man????
Yeeaaah... whatever happened to him? Apparently he has not seen fit to respond to my reply brief -- although I did send him the link, so I'm fairly sure he knows about it...

Well that's OK.
Screwy and Cardinalpark are ignoring my taunts as usual.
I was going to taunt The Charlottesvillian but I couldn't think of anything witty to say (not that this is usually an impediment to base snark, mind you). I had something about Dap Dipping on the tip of my typing finger but my office phone rang and I had to bash off.
*sigh*

I know... since they're not HERE to defend themselves, we can try to GUESS WHAT THEIR BIRTH SONGS ARE!
That could be great fun. As a matter of fact I think this really calls for a contest as soon as I think of a funny pretext. I think I'm punchy
By Cassandra, at Tue Feb 21, 06:37:00 PM:
Of course you *know* Cardinalpark's should be (only because John McCain and Screwy want to make torture illegal and ruin all our fun, so we'd better get it in while there's still time):
"Someone left a cake out
In the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe
Agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!
Oooooooooooooh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

I love mine:
1961 ... "Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles
Thanks for the link.

Just to satisfy Cass, the 'Villain's "birth song" is "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" by Herman's Hermits. Goddamn.
I'm going to let CP do it himself, because I respect his privacy more.
