In the US, the number one song on the day I was born was 'Up Where We Belong'. In the UK it was 'I Don't Wanna Dance' by Eddy Grant (which I don't think I've heard).

For the BF it was 'Bad Girls' by Donna Summer in the US and 'Are Friends Electric' by Tubeway Army. For some reason I find this hilarious---the Tubeway Army tune is fitting, actually!

"I love your chin" "Say it again" "I love your chinny chin chin."

Those lyrics are awesomely bad.

Already know mine without looking them up:

U.K.:  These Boots Are Made for Walkin' - Nancy Sinatra
U.S.:  Ballad of the Green Berets - Sgt. Barry Sadler

Two great songs, so I'm quite happy with those!   :)

In the UK:  Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas - "Little Children" (never heard of them or the song.  :-\\\\)

One of the many Merseybeat groups of the era (along with Freddie & The Dreamers, Gerry & The Pacemakers, etc.).   I figured YouTube would probably turn up a clip, and sure enough, here it is:   :)
