| #50 Posted on 7.3.05 0208.51 Reposted on: 7.3.12 0208.51 | A couple people mentioned not knowing "Everything I Own" by Ken Boothe. It's a really good record. It's a reggae version of an American soft-pop hit by Bread. Boothe gave it that Jamaican beat and it's a beautiful love song. ("I would give anything I own, give up my life, my heart, my home, I would give everything I own, just to have you back again, just to touch you once again.")
Boy George later did an excellent version based on Boothe's version.
The song "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan hit number one (US) the day I was born. He was at Beatlefest last year and I thought about mentioning that fact to him, but I figured he didn't need to feel old!
There was a nice birthday a few years ago when I was still working full-time in radio. I was listening to my station on my way in from work and a listener called up and requested "Birthday" by The Beatles for me. Then I switched to another station where a friend of mine was working, and he played a today-in-music feature that mentioned "Sunshine Superman" hitting number one, and he came on and mentioned that he had a friend who had told him that this was the number one song the day he was born, and wished me a happy birthday. Very nice ego boost to have TWO radio stations talking about my birthday! | jfkfc

Your post gave me some idea's. Since I already posted my birthday and 18th here, I though I'd go your route in some important dates in my development (or lack thereof )
Date: Sept. 29th
5th Birthday (1972)...the just starting school phase US: "Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me" - Mac Davis UK: "How Can I Be Sure" - David Cassidy
THANK GOD that I don't remember much back to then.
13th Birthday (1980)...the entering my teenage years phase US: "Another One Bites The Dust" - Queen UK: "Don't Stand So Close To Me" - The Police
Pretty good choices, although far from each bands best work.
16th Birthday (1983)...the first time puking from drinking too much beer phase
US: "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" - Bonnie Tyler UK: "Karma Chameleon" - Culture Club
No wonder I started drinking a lot.
21st Birthday (1988)...the legal drinking age phase
US: "Dont Worry Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin UK: "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" - The Hollies
All I can say is; YIKES!!!
30th Birthday (1997)...the first birthday being a father phase
US: "4 Seasons Of Loneliness" - Boyz II Men UK: "Candle In The Wind '97 / Something About The Way You Look Tonight" - Elton John
Eh. Good thing I was busy doing dad things instead of listening to top 40 radio then. I do like the original "Candle in the Wind" though.

I can honestly say I've never heard of either UK song.
Count that as a blessing with the Whigfield song; it's one of the most annoying songs of all time. It still gets played at parties at the point when everyone's getting just about drunk enough to think it's a good idea to get up and do a synchronised dance routine.

There's a song you really do wanna hear though. Ebeneezer Goode is a "A gentleman of leisure...there for your pleasure"; features the immortal chorus "Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode, He's Ebeneezer Goode", as in "E's are good, E's are good". | Above Average 1
