click on link, www.joshhosler.biz/select the month you were born, then day, then scroll down to the year. Mine was: Goodnight Irene. I knew most of the songs up though the time I hit 39. Then I did not recognize most of the songs. Did anyone else find the year that hit songs were not what you listened to? |

Honky Tonk Women. One of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. The last song I knew was when I was 30, but didn't recognize the songs when I was 28 or 29.

That's like being born under a lucky star. I was just yesterday listening to that youtube with Helen O'Connell. It's just a wonderful melody and the chord changes are so dreamy. It floats in and out of key changes. |

Phil! Goodnight Irene is not only wonderful, it is also, delightfully and strangely, the Bristol Rovers Football Club song. Can't recall what my song was and the website has gone a bit wonky. I'm fairly sure that my song wasn't as good as Goodnight Irene though. *jealous face*
"Sometimes a Great Notion", one of my favourite books which I prefer a lot over Ken Kesey's more famous book "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" has a title taken from "Goodnight Irene".

My US birthday song. I think it might be a slow burner.  |

Hey wait... mine was "Buttons and Bows," too. Possibly more telling is to look 9 months earlier to the approximate time of conception...

For some reason that link is blocked by our web filter. However, Wikipedia has the Billboard chart #1's. Buttons and Bows was for most of January with Spike Jones' version of All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth taking first the week of January 8. But by October Frankie Laine topped the charts for the rest of the year (following Vic Damone, Vaughan Monroe and Perry Como). On my birthday it was That Lucky Old Sun but by Thanksgiving it was Mule Train.

I just looked up Zogg's. It was "Stick Beats On Hollow Branch" which had just edged out "Taut Horse Gut Twang" that had topped the Paleoboard Top 40 the week before.
