Meme: #1 song when I was born

[jedishampoo]

Snagged from loveflyfree:

What was the #1 song the day you were born? Google the date and #1 song and then post your #1 song on your LJ - preferably with a Youtube vid if you can find one!

The 5th Dimension: Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In
(I was born at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Age of Aquariuuuuuuusss)

I know! I'm so hippie-ish. ;) Not!

I can imagine my mom listening to this song on the radio, though, when she was about to pop.

::hugs::

You are a vegetarian, so by definition you are a dippy-trippy, earthy-crunchy, birkenstock wearin' dirty, hippie. Until you sit down and eat you a rare, steaming, bloody steak, this will be so.

*makes no effort to hide horrible jealousy over your very cool song*

Going to work. no time to post vid.
August "All You Need Is Love" The Beatles

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Beatles! If I'd waited another week to pop out it would have been a Beatles song. :)

[sharpeslass.livejournal.com]

That is an awesome one. I'm even more jealous of you than of hippie-jedi girl...

I love this song! I have an old 45 of it ...

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Do you? Hee! I think we actually had Fifth Dimension on 8-track in our house... along with Bread and Wings!

[rroselavy.livejournal.com]

OMG BREAD! They're right up there with America! And 8-tracks **snickers** I loved the dropout that happened when the tape switched tracks.

*grooves to the song* :D

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

It's so... HIPPIE-CHEESE! I love it. :)

I remember this song! Fun song.

I had the Fifth Dimension's first album (at least I think it was their first - it predates this song) and played it to death. I guess that proves just how much older than you I am.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

My mom had their stuff on an 8-track! She really dug the mellow stuff. Some of that late 60s-early 70s light rock I still listen to. :)

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

That's still one of my favorite songs! I had that album, too - and at least one other of theirs. Wedding Bell Blues, Puppet Man, One Less Bell to Answer, Up Up & Away... Ah memories!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

That is some awesome cheese, right thar.

CUTE ICON! :)

[clytemnaestra.livejournal.com]

lol, that's awesome. Mine was "Every Breath you Take" by The Police - aww man, that's a creepy song!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Nooo I loved that album! Synchronicity, right? I still have it and still listen to it.

[sharpeslass.livejournal.com]

DUDE!!! You can not have the police. No one should be young enough to have that song. It just makes me too damned old. I loved that song. LOVED Sting. (It is good creepy). But it is far, far too new. Pick something else. Like "I'm a Believer." That is old enough to be a birthday song. No more 80s for you. We're officially changing your age to keep me from depression. Consol yourself with the fact that people are going to say you look reaaaaallly young for your age (this song choice makes you 43, btw).

[lawless523.livejournal.com]

The lyrics are creepy.

I liked "Roxanne" (their first hit, from an earlier album) better.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

That song is so awesome.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Love will steer the stars... it is pretty awesome. :)

[karuune.livejournal.com]

Mmm, great song! This was always one of my favorites as a kid. I even made up a dance to it for my kids to do for a show when I was a counselor at camp.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Did you really? That's so AWESOME!

[helliongoddess.livejournal.com]

God, I feel so fucking old. I had the original Broadway soundtrack of "Hair" (which the song was from) when I was a kid (I was really weird and precocious) - I was barely 11 when it debuted) and played it till it was almost worn out. Good thing my folks never listened to the whole thing, it had some pretty... err, advanced... songs for an 11 year old (how I learned what cunninlingus and fellatio meant. *lol*)

What's REALLY depressing is that the two biggest top forty songs from the week I was born were both Elvis songs, and I fucking HATE ELVIS PRESLEY!! I always have. Maybe it was playing somewhere when I came into the world, and I got negatively imprinted, or something.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I'm not a huge fan of Elvis, either, though I realize he has his place in history. Living in Las Vegas now, I find a certain charm in the older, more "Vegas" Elvis. :)

And you make me laugh by saying this song makes you feel old-- when I see someone on my flist with a late-80s song I feel pretty darned old myself. I'm like, "I danced to that song at BARS."
