wow you gotta go back before the British invasion to find what was popular when I was born:

USA Please Mr Postman - the Marvelettes (very cute black chicks)
UK Tower of Strength - Frankie Vaughan (from the US, dont remember the tune)

December 12, 1961 yeah that makes me older than most (or all) here!

I love that song. You suck, too. Razz

Reminds me of Howard Dean's little speech when I listen to it now, though... Except they know their countries, not just states. Rolling eyes

Poor fallen.. I weep for you. Razz

Well honestly I don't think that (I Just) Died in Your Arms is [i][b]that[/b][/i] bad of a song. I sorta like it ^^ but then again my taste in music tends to be rather random.

has anyone even heard any of these songs? I was too busy being born.

fallenangel · Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2004 1:56 pm Post subject:

Yeah, I've heard most of 'em, except some of the UK hits. Since most of you were born in the 80s. Rolling eyes

And most of them suck.
