May 1976 "Silly Love Songs" by Paul McCartney & Wings
And that's not bad luck, besides some good passable stuff in the 1970s, and the late 60's, most of my birthday's top songs are the suck.
For a musical genius, Paul McCartney has recorded a ton of shitty music. What's worse is that sometime in the 80s, if I remember correctly, the number of records he had sold post-Beatles (i.e. Wings and solo) was greater than the number of The Beatles records sold. |

Jack and Diane is a terrible song. Embarrassingly terrible. It could have been made better, however, if they had tiger feet.

Well, see.. that's why the 2nd line's there.
Bad Chimp, bad.
I was expanding the premise :D ....or something. Oh yeah, I never really cared for Jack and Diane myself. I think mainly because I dislike John Can'tkeepmyfuckingnamethesameformorethanaweek in general. |

(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear by Elvis Presley(The song on the video - nothing to do with Knut, however). Hal wins oldest in thread. His is the only song I've never heard before. When the hell is that from, anyway? Some of these songs people mention don't seem old enough to me for these people to be out of high chairs. Time is funny that way.

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by The Bee Gees
God what a terrible version. Al Green, however, did an awesome job. |

I totally win teh internetz this time. "Long and Winding Road". I'm getting a chuckle about me walking around the kitchen in my underwear warbling "Do they know its Christmas time" at the time Schild was getting spawned. HEe.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Birthday (September 1967)
US : "The Letter" by The Box Tops (Never heard of it)
UK : The Last Waltz - Engelbert Humperdinck (huh?)
AU : Itchycoo Park - The Small Faces (sounds familiar)
Damn, I think I got screwed in the birthday song lotto. And I second the "Anyone born in the 80s are young fuckers. Bastards!"
Wedding Day (May 1993 - can't remember any graduation dates, too far back)
US : "Freak Me" by Silk (Who?)
UK : Five Live EP - George Michael & Queen with Lisa Stansfield (eh?)
AU : Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz (acceptable)

Disco died long before that song became popular. |

"The Letter" by The Box Tops
At the risk of posting lyrics, that's the "Well she wrote me a letter/I don't know if I can live without her no more/Listen mister can't you see I got to get back to my baby once more..." It's the get me a ticket for an aeroplane, ain't got time to take a fast train song. Joe Cocker and Al Green have both covered it. |
I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

I already knew that it was "Somebody Help Me" by The Spencer Davis Group in the UK... in the US charts, it turns out that it was "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration" by The Righteous Brothers, while in Australia it was "Nowhere Man / Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles.

1979 -- Pop Muzik by M WTF? Never heard it before....
...just listened to it on iTunes, holy crap that's some horrible garbage. Hopefully there wasn't some sort of spike in the suicide rate on my birthday thanks to that godawful piece of shit.

I remember it well... "New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody talk about, pop muzik, talk about, pop, pop, pop muzik". Kind of Moroder-influenced new-wave.

I hadn't realized it came out at the end of the 70s. I thought it was just a typical 80s synth-pop/new wave song. It's really not that bad if you can stomach bland 80s-style pop. It reminds me of Devo, if you were to take out everything that makes Devo fun and interesting. Doesn't make me want to stick drills in my ears like that fucking "Reunited" shit. |

I had "Reunited" on 45 vinyl when I was a kid. STFU.
And before you get crazy, I also had Rod Stewart, Kiss, the Village People and the ultimate disco hit, Freak Out, on 45's as well.
