Hey, this is pretty cool!

[Cooker]

Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley

 

[Karlynn]

To Know Him is to Love Him (AKA Ross' theme song) by The Teddy Bears

 

[geebee]

Well - I am so old there wasn't one (the charts didn't start until Oct. 18 of the year I was born). So much for nostalgia.

The Three Bells by the Browns. I'd prefer something else I think.

 

[Bina]

I was just thinking......I do that sometimes....
Ross, this is a real tricky way to "age" us all. You clever dog.

So....what is your song? I know your age

 

[Nancy]

OK, I'm OLD! Not on the chart. So I looked at another one.

"Stardust" Artie Shaw

"String of Pearls" Glenn Miller

 

[Bina]

Tom Dooley.....Kingston Trio......

 

[Superbob]

Cool idea but it discriminates against us REALLY old folks. I guess no records were being made before 1950! Or maybe we were all singing "Over There!"

 

[PJmomrunner]

Sheila by Tommy Roe

I'd never heard of it so I found it and listened to it on the web. It didn't sell much despite being #1 for a few days. Fun idea, Ross!

Heck try their suggestions of the day you turned 18 or got married.

When I turned 18-Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen

Day I got married-Funky Town - Lipps Inc.

 

[Wise]

18 - Best Of My Love - Emotions

Married - Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins

 

[Superbob]

"Mary Had a Little Lamb" -- 1877. First song recorded on phonograph by Thomas Edison. Snappy little tune. There were some good ones in the Palaeolithic caves, too.

 

[hensylee]

well, wedding day it was "I went to your wedding". !!!!!!!!!! well, DUH!

Okay, the day I turned 18: '' "Mr. Blue -- The Fleetwoods."

Sounds appropriate for an old grump like me.

My 18th birthday:

Tonights the Night (Gonna be Alright)
Rod Stewart


Now if I had a nickel for every time I heard that one.......

 

[Cooker]

18 years of age.....Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree

How embarassing........It could have at least been a ZZ Top tune
