Mine was Louis Armstrong, What a Wonderful World

Spooky... so was mine. (I knew that anyway before looking it up on that site.)

[edit] Bah! That site says it was "Young Girl" by Union Gap featuring Gary Puckett. Well, the Guinness Book of Hit Singles disagrees. And given the songs, I'm going with Guinness.

Oh god...

I.

Indeed, not a bad tune but from a modern perspective the lyrics might be considered a little er....... 'dodgy'.

Mine was supposed to be 'Good Vibrations' but it's given me a Tom Jones song which is nowhere near as cool.

Ha ha at Led*Zep - that would have been mine but I was late and got Metal Guru by T.Rex instead.

Now, all you very short-memoried chaps, are you really unaware of why you're getting the 'wrong' answers?? Say it ain't so, boys! Do you really not remember when Chart Day was a Tuesday? These sites usually just go Sunday to Sunday so you will get wrong results. Myself, I know that I was born on Tuesday and my parents bought me the No.1 single (my dad's like that) and I also know independently that Metal Guru went to No.1 on that day, from T.Rex resources and old newspapers etc. If you think you know 'your' No.1, from listening to old chart shows, like Jimmy Saville etc, then you are almost certainly right, particularly if entering a date a few days earlier or later gets you the right answer.

Wow a song I really like, how cool is that? IO was fearing something horrid (what else can you expect when you only share you birthday with Cher and Joe Cocker and someone from Blue or something

)
