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?

and it was i'm a believer by the monkees in the US

St Winifreds choir - There's no-one quite like Grandma.

Not quite as cool as the US No1, Tom Jones - It's not unusual

Raahh · 05/05/2009 20:51

Hooray for Ambi- that is worse than Ernie, really it is!

Ooh just had a look at mine.

Mine was Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun (love the Westlife version of that )

DS1 was Lily Allen and Smile

DS2 was born last November and it was Hero by the X-Factor finalists (barf) - poor boy having to answer with that in years to come

Dumbledoresgirl · 05/05/2009 20:53

Mine was "I Feel Fine" by the Beatles. Child of the 60s, me!

Dumbledoresgirl · 05/05/2009 20:55

Trillian, you have never heard of Green Door by Shaking Stevens?

Oh god, I feel old. I was doing or had done my O levels when that came out.

Ceebee74 · 05/05/2009 20:56

Lou I assume you are talking about Seasons in the Sun and not Hero?? (or at least I hope you are )

HeadFairy · 05/05/2009 20:56
