I've actually heard it, and neither hate it or love it.

Thanks for a fun thing to do, Gadget!

It makes sense to me now that I always do that "number" to close the first act of my "shows" !!~!!!

"Singing the Blues" is a great song. Marty Robbins also did a great version.

"Don't Stand So Close To Me" by Police was No. 1 in the UK charts at the time. Have never heard of it, but then I'm not a Police fan.

Could be worse though... had I been born a week earlier, the current No. 1 would have been the trashy "Feels Like I'm In Love" by Kelly Marie. I dislike that song intensely, and cringe every time it plays on the radio.

"A Bushel and a Peck"

Don't tell me I am the OLDEST member of this site!

I am SOOO glad I was a baby when this song was popular. It sounds so strange!

Lawrence---Alley Oop was my favorite record when I was a very little kid. My sister said I played it constantly until my Mom, who'd had enough, eventually hid it from me. When I turned 40, my sister gave me an Alley Oop lunch box with the 45 inside it.

I'd rather think about the #1 song on the day I was conceived...

Which could have been:

"Cruising Down the River" by Russ Morgan

Never heard it, but there's always a first!

 

[washabear]

"Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison. May 13, 1959. Boy, am I old! ;-)

Boy! Am I old!

my mom used to sing "Bushel and a Peck" to us when I was a little boy (It's true...I was one at one time!)

Doodle oodle do...
