They don't make em like they used to...

Number 1 on the day I was born was...

The Wurzels - "Combine Harvester (Brand New Key)"

This is maybe why I have such impeccable music tastes now hhmm

  That's got way more kudos than mine. I'm going with the slant that The Wurzels are kitch.

  No 1 when I was born was Slade with Cum on Feel the Noize. If you need a bit of nostalgia, you can see the wondrous Slade here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLsw668PVyY&feature=PlayList&p=60C57FB95A15B450&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=38

  I think that, unwittingly, I must have been reacting against words-spelled-badly-for-effect all of these years because of them.

  My Ding A Ling by Chuck Berry!

  1972 was obviously a top year for songs as in October there was Mouldy Old Dough by Lieutenant Pigeon (eh !!!) and in July, Donny Osmond, Puppy Love - oooo!
