For me it was "The Chicken Song" by Spitting Image.

I bloody hate it.

Mary's Boy Child by Boney M. Its okay as Christmas songs go

I'm not telling you. You would then have a good idea of my date of birth.

Would you like my mother's maiden name too?

Just looked as I’m in hospital and bird - Gloria Gaynor, I will survive. I’m not that ill that I may not survive but so bored it seems very apt!

Moon River by Danny Williams. Yes I love the song.

Someone asked the other day why a thread about where people lived have got deleted & I gave a list of examples of data harvesting topics. ‘What was No 1 when you were born?’ was one of them.

“ Mouldy Old Dough” by that well-known band Lieutenant Pigeon….

Was at no. for 4 weeks apparently, so I’ll take my chances.

I’d never heard it, or indeed heard of it, before, and it is as crap as you’d imagine…

Come Outside by Mike Sarne and Wendy Richard. Bloody awful song.
My friend is a few months younger and hers is Telstar. So jealous

Rein Me In by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean 😝

’Release Me’ by Englebert Humperdinck. Which my mum said was very apt because she’d had enough of being pregnant🤣 I don’t have an opinion on the song one way or the other as it’s not my kind of music, but he was a heck of a singer. One of those crooner types.
