The link and parameters said the song was "Little Things Mean A Lot". Well, how fortuetous and appropriate given I was between 2 & 2.5 months premature and weight was 2 pounds and some ounces and went down from there.
 
I've never known anyone to hate The Beatles. And given your b-day is April 11, two #1 Beatles songs through the years on the same day, life is great!!!!!
 
"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson... good song, but not my favorite of the era... My parents call me Billy, but I am told it has nothing to do with the song...

also... I must be the only 20 something who knows who Percy Faith is... let alone has a couple of his record albums...
 
11/3/1960 "He's a Rebel" by The Crystals. Interesting, in many ways I guess I am a "rebel" lol
 
09/30/1963

Blue Velvet, odd I heard that song a lot growing up. A relative I visited often as a child loved that song and played the 45 a good bit.
 
Sixteen Tons by Tennesses Ernie Ford.

What a fun website this is! Thanks. BTW, I think I did weigh sixteen tons in high school ... LMAO! Rob.

Will, your first name is William, in the South you know how we tend to nickname people...Billy is short for William. That why people in the South named William Robert are sometimes called "Billy-Bob"

My name is Greg (Gregory actually). I was nicknamed "Boo" by my grandparents. That's because Robert E. Lee nicknamed his first son "Boo" and it became somewhat of a tradition in the south that faded out by the mid 20th century. Had you been born decades before you may have been called "Billy-Boo".

Greg, Don't ask me how I know the date...

It was quite a nightmare finding out... but anyways... the date of my conception the song was... "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League... (shudder) I don't want to think of my parents in that way...

There are so many "William"s in my family... Lets see I have my Great Grandfather, Great Uncle, an Uncle, a Cousin, my cousin's son (second cousin?), and last but not least my grandfather who I was named after (actually I was named after both of them). It can get a little confusing the living Will(s)/Bill(s)/Billy(s) are in the same room.

I've never been called Billy Boo, but my aunt will occasionally call me Billy Bob. I guess she just likes the sound of it, however my middle name is Harry.
 
"If" by Perry Como

4/5/1951. My OL was a big fan of his. To remark on another member's message, yes I know my conception date, too. I heard this over and over throughout my childhood: "Fourth of July, we could have gone to an air-conditioned movie. Oh, no. Your OM wanted to STAY HOME...."
 
7-11-1960

"Alley Oop" by the Hollywood Argyles.

I've always had a thing for men who look like they could have been around during the time of the cavemen.

I've heard the song a handful of times, it's a pleasant novelty number.

Say It Isn't So!

But alas, Pat Boone's "Love Letters In The Sand" was topping the charts the week I was born in June 1957. Why Pat Boone? He covered far superior black versions of soulful, emotional songs and made them "Rinso White." Granted, "Love Letters" was not in that category (it was a hit years before Boone recorded it, but as for the other cover songs, time and history has proved me correct. Still, Elvis knocked Mr. B off the top of the charts with "Teddy Bear," so there is indeed justice in the world
 
Ghost Riders in the Sky, by Vaughn Monroe

Strange, because although I generally do not care for this late-40s, early-50s style of singing, I have always liked Vaughn Monroe singing this song in his incredibly nasal presentation.

Same song here- 11/02/63. Don't really think about it much though. There are so many cooler songs that were #1 on my day:
-Love Me Tender
-Jailhouse Rock (let's face it, anything Elvis!!)
-Mack The Knife (one of my all time faves)
-Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves
-Midnight Train To Georgia (was I REALLY 10 when that song came out???!!!)
