    It seems like yesterday, my sister got the single for Christmas 1981 and that was played to death round that time.

    Done something like this before, not sure if it was the same site though, but Mungo Jerry "In The Summertime" was number one the UK the week I was born heheh, and some Jackson 5 single in the US

    I always thought it was barry white's Cant get Enough of your Love.... for sept 21, 1974...... hmm, US charts though.

    this one says Carl Douglas' Kung Fu Fighting...... that is UK charts.

    and unfortunately I share the same birthday as Liam Gallagher.
