crunchtastic Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 ' I'm Telling You Now' by Freddie and the Dreamers. I don't even know who that is. Out of curiosity I also looked up the date my divorce was final: Get Busy by Sean Paul. That's more like it! Oy...Boogie Oogie Oogie - Taste Of HoneyThat just sounds funny. You're a disco baby!

RedScare Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well, what's your song, Red? Mr. Blue by The Fleetwoods. Lame. Not Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, or anything by Fleetwood Mac, or anything else tolerable. Never even heard of it. Seeing all these "birthday songs" that were playing during my college years makes me feel old. Come on, Pop Muzik and Eddy Grant? Reminds me of the playlist at Cooters.

Reminds me of the playlist at Cooters. Surely they're naming songs using their highschool graduation date. For me, hs would be Call Me - Blondie.

Porchman Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Mr. Blue by The Fleetwoods. Lame. Not Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, or anything by Fleetwood Mac, or anything else tolerable. Never even heard of it. The Fleetwoods did Come Softly. I've never heard Mr. Blue either EDIT: Now I've got Come Softly stuck in my head. (Dum-Dum. This Song is so Dumb-be-dooby-dumb) Seeing all these "birthday songs" that were playing during my college years makes me feel old. It's that milestone you're approaching, Red.

cosmic08 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Yes, I'm a child of the 80s "Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes Also on my b-day, but in 1993, Meatloaf's "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" was #1. That song makes me giggle for some reason when I hear it. Edited February 3, 2009 by cosmic08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
