Ladies.
What was the No. 1 pop song the week you were born, and does it say anything about who you are or the world you grew up in?

Also, how far down the list do you have to go before you see a song you don't recognize?

Find your top-40 chart right here. Click your year and scroll down to your week. These are the US charts, BTW. If you're from somewhere else you'll have to find your own.



Aug 22, 1970: #1 MAKE IT WITH YOU – Bread (Elektra) – (1 week at #1)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4R93xnKink

First song I don't recognize is #7 PATCHES – Clarence Carter


My God, the top 10 includes Bread, The Carpenters and B.J. Thomas. That's uh, that's some downtempo music right there.

The Spirit
of Maynard

:catdrugs:
One, Two, Three O'clock, Four O'clock rock,
Five, Six, Seven O'clock, Eight O'clock rock.
Nine, Ten, Eleven O'clock, Twelve O'clock rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me hon',
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one.

CHORUS:
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'till broad daylight,
We're gonna rock, we're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we'll yell for more.

CHORUS

When the chimes
ring five, six, and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.

CHORUS

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,

I'll be going strong and so will you.

CHORUS

When the clock strikes twelve we'll cool off then,
Start rockin' 'round the clock again.

CHORUS


In the early 70s I paid 5 bux for a ticket to a show featuring Bill Haley & his Comets, Chuck Berry, Bo Didley, Sha-Na-Na, and (I forget) The Ronettes maybe?

Don't worry be happy. Pretty funny because I'm like a ball of anxiety sometimes.

It might be more funny to check out 9 months before you were born to see what your parents were likely boning too.
