What was #1 on your birthday

Post by Lost »

What was the number one song when you entered the world? This website will check as far back as 1909, so I think the majority on the forum can join in and have a go. Apologies to those who don't quite make the cut.

I had to add this: my wife's song was Spike Jones and His City Slickers doing All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.
