My brother in law's song was "Play that Funky Music, White Boy." I think if you were born in the 70's, you're bound to have some humliating (read: hilarious) #1 song come up on your birthday.
I know, I know, I'm way over the top here folks. It doesn't go back into the 40's!!! But since they give us "oldies" a chance to have a life theme song on our 18th birthday.......
mine would be: UK - "We Can Work It Out"- Beatles
US - "Turn Turn Turn" - Byrds
By crackie, the Beatles really did give me a theme song to live by!!!
Jan 1-71
ReplyDeleteMy Sweet Lord by George Harrison in the US and I Hear You Knockin' by Dave Edmonds in the UK
Ours were perfect!
ReplyDeleteMine: Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees.
Jerry: I Think I Love You -- The Partridge Family.
ahem...
ReplyDeleteI'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread:
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into the room.
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I've never felt this way
I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've got so much to think about
Hey . . .
I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I've never felt this way
Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say, hey, go away, I will
But I think better still
I better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face:
"Do you think you love me?
I think I love you!"
"I think I love you . . ."
British: Well I Ask You - Eden Kane
ReplyDeleteUS: Tossin? And Turnin? - Bobby Lewis
Never heard of EITHER of them.

You did that from memory, Randall?
ReplyDeleteMine:
US: "You Light Up My Life" - Debbie Boone
UK: "Mull Of Kintyre / Girls' School" - Wings
The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace
ReplyDeleteI don't think I know this song...maybe if I heard it. I'll have to listen for it.
UK: Gerry and The Pacemakers, "How Do You Do It"
ReplyDeleteUS: Little Peggy March, "I Will Follow Him"
Thanks Marc - I can clearly remember BOTH of those songs coming out.
