I was talking to a friend who mentioned that his whole life is a Rick Roll, because Never Gonna Give You Up was #1 when he was born. I didn't believe him, so he prooved it to me.
Then we looked up mine through the good ol' magic of wikipedia: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_hits_%28United_States%29">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nu ... _States%29</a><!-- m -->

"Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In," a.k.a. "The Age of Aquarius," by god-knows-who-I-don't-really-care. In case anyone ever tells you how great the 60s was, just look at what was on the charts. The boomers are all full of shit; it was just as stupid as any other decade.
Jesus, Bonner, I'm old enough to be your father. Thank you for your contribution to my incipient mid-life crisis. Now I've got to go drink myself into a stupor. Whatever happens to my liver, I'm holding you responsible.
Don't you dare moderate me, young man. I'll send you straight to your room.
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" - Roberta Flack (USA) (Get it? Get it?)
"Heart of Gold" - Neil Young (Canada) :thumb:
Can't beat these for sappy having-a-baby-in-1970 lyrics: "On the day that you were born, The angels got together And decided to create a dream come true"
Carpenters - (They Long To Be) Close To You

From the Canadian Charts:
"Angie" - The Rolling Stones
And again, for my daughter:
Pussycat Dolls featuring Bustha Rhymes - "Don't Cha"

light my fire by the doors
i looked up the Canadian song for my year but was there no music in 1967 in Canada
Mine is "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.
I'm really, horribly embarrassed by that fact. I was born in December, however, my mom's due date was mid-April, so we'll just go with that and post...
"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins. :? Both of those options suck. :censored you, 80's radio.
