Or your DC's?

I found in a dusty box a copy of Ernie, the fastest Milkman in the West by Benny Hill, the other day. It was bought by my grandpa the week I was born. Was the xmas number one in 1971.

Ds (also a christmas baby)- Sound of the underground- Girls aloud (2002)
DD -Shakira - Hips don't lie. (August 2006)

I bought copies of both!
(I also bought Swear it again by Westlife , number one the week she was born).

I am very sad and geeky.

What was yours?

Had to Google - Joe Cocker, With A Little Help From My Friends.

I've always hated that song I wanted it to be The Stones.

Pipes & Drums & Miltary Band Of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards- Amazing Grace is mine. Which makes me kind of happy, in a very patriotically scottish way!

Me - The Puppy song by David Cassidy (not puppy love - the Osmonds) - never heard it actually sang.
