Number one the day I was born was: Sleepy Lagoon by Harry James
My fav that year was Chattanooga Choo Choo


Ancient History 101

"Crazy Thing Called Love" - Queen

1984

When Doves Cry by Prince! HECK YES!!

I think anything by Cyndi Lauper is a favorite for that time.

Lovely thread OP! It's like a walk down memory lane.

Seeing songs here that I loved once but had forgotten. Great idea

Probably not my favorite of 1982 but definately on my.top three.

1987 Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

THIS was #1 the day I was born (smh):



It's hard to choose one favorite but I guess it would be one of these three:

(love this video hehe)

Top song when I was born was Steve Winwood's Roll With It.



My favorite song from that year is this.



Sorry I just had to do that. My actual favorite song from the year I was born is Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.

NO. 1 on my birthday 1972


Here's my favorite.

Hey -W1LL and I are near same birthdayz XD



i like this song too, i wasnt expecting it to be #1 when i was born

source: wikipedia source

favorite from my year:

so much great music from 1983!

Well believe it or not.. I've never checked what was Number one when I was born.. But go figure, it happens to be Tequila by the Champs, and yes I have those shoes too in the closet.

Great post OP! I'm glad to see such a range of music from this.. its even given me a few new musicians to delve into more deeply, especially some of the ones from before my time. I've found as I've been getting older, I like music that goes further and further back before I was born so thanks to all the old fogeys on here who have such classical origins

Here's my own personal birth song, Van Halen - Jump
Great way to come out of the womb in style!




Almost forgot my favorite from that year...
