Here's a fun one from Evhead: this day in music, a site which will tell you the number one song (both in England and the US) for any given day in history. My birthday had the Beatles in top spot on the U.K. charts with Get Back, while Aquarius / Let the Sunshine in by 5th Dimension was number one in the US of A.
So what are you saying?, its going to happen soon that I won't be able to click over to Napster and download Come Softly to Me by the Fleetwoods, #1 US 5/6/59, and It Doesn't Matter Anymore, #1 UK, same date, Buddy Holly. I got me 74 percent of one of em already. Come and get me coppers.
ive got 'i heard it through the umbilical cord... i mean grapevine in the us and this little ditty from the uk.
19690810
In the Year 2525 by Zager and Evans (us) (what and who?)
Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones (uk)
Zager and Evans: Folkie science fiction.
Sample verse:
"In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin'
If Man is gonna be alive
He's taken all this poor Earth can give
And he ain't put back nothin'
Whoa-whoa..."
There was also something about picking your sons and daughters "from the bottom of a long glass tube, whoa-whoa."
excellent. nice combo. maybe i don't need my astologer any more.
Yeah, it was considered very cool by nine year olds, as I recall. Didn't know Conway Twitty had UK hits though. sigh...
sorry, mike, couldn't resist:
19600902
Apache by The Shadows (uk)
It's Now or Never by Elvis Presley (us)
