What was the #1 song the day you were born? Google the date and #1 song and then post your #1 song on your LJ - preferably with a Youtube vid if you can find one.

LOL! I was in sixth grade when your song was no. 1, and I clearly remember Casey Kasem announcing it on the Weekly Top 40.

Yes, I'm a baby! :x
