I was surprised to see this was the number 1 song the day I was born. I listened to this band when I was a teenager. :cool:


Light My Fire - The Doors


the website doesn't back far enough for me to figure out the song when my husband was born. :faint:

In 1958 - probably something from Elvis or Doris Day or some show tune.

Pembroke, what a fun site!
I had to settle for looking up my "life's theme song". The British charts: Honky Tonk Woman. The USA charts: In the Year 2525. Now, which one fits . . .

(just like) Starting over-John Lennon 1980.

However, I was named after the Rick Springfield Song- Jesse's Girl

I'm not a Bee Gees fan, but what can I expect being born in the late 70's?!

Why, over in the UK, "The Carnival is Over" was playing! My, isn't that fortuitous!:eek:

My life's theme one was "All Night Long" by my man Lionel Richie. Hmmm....

Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes

Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home, it works her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you're pleased with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes...

Interesting. Veeeerrrry interesting.;)
(UK is "Being With You" by Smokey Robinson, but I haven't heard it.)
