whats really sad is that I dont think Ive ever heard the songs that were #1 in the US and UK on the days my kids were born, which wasnt all that long ago. Or maybe thats good that I dont know the words to a Hanson song.

For me, 1960: Are You Lonesome Tonight? (US)
Its Now Or Never (UK)

both by the other Elvis

Mr. T - it doesn't go back far enough for us.. but does allow for your "life's theme song" - which was the #1 on your 18th birthday.

Apparently, I am a "Honky Tonk Woman" (The Stones)

I am "too mature" for the US charts but in the U.K. it was I Believe by Frankie Laine. My life theme song in the U.S. is "It's Too Late" by Carole King.

Ain't it the truth!! I Believe It's Too late, baby
