Well that was fun! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> anyone else want theirs done?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Born on the same day as you CZ?

 

1949 - Francis Rossi ( guitarist, vocalist, Status Quo )

1961 - Melissa Etheridge ( US country singer )

1967 - Noel Gallagher ( guitarist, sometimes-vocalist, Oasis )

1975 - Melanie Brown ( aka Mel B and Scary Spice, vocals, The Spice Girls )

 

Now that would be quite a joint birthday party <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

 

I was going to do your landmark birthdays but I couldn't remember if you were 26 or 27 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I was indeed born on the same day as Mel B, making me 27.

 

Didn't know about Melissa Etheridge (Mel E!!) but I did know of the others. The only other one on my birthday I'm aware of is Mel Gaynor (Mel G!!) from Simple Minds. Aaarrrghhh!

 

Number one on the day I was born was Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette.

 

19 by Paul Hardcastle was number one on my 10th Birthday, The Right Stuff by New Kids On The Block when I had my first proper snog (tongues and everything!!) and All That She Wants by Ace Of Base when I turned 18.

 

Three Lions was top of the charts on my 21st, and The Tide Is High by Atomic Kitten was reigning supreme on my Wedding Day.

 

As for the day I lost my virginity? Hmmm. I'll keep that to myself, but the name of the group made me chuckle a bit!!

 

 

[Chubbhead EFM]

[mdetaylor]

January 12 1979?

[GHA EFM]

Good work, Zeal.

 

Dunno about Stevie Wonder, but if the Black Box tune is what I think it is, that's OK. Whigfield is legendary, whilst Mariah Carey isn't bad looking, but musically, questions need to be asked.

 

Actually, I'm not to pleased with that. There's a fair bit of cr@p in there.

[mdetaylor]

I think I should arrange a different birth day - that lot is dreadful

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Unfortunately mde, you tend to get stuck with the previous year's Christmas number ones. which as we all know, tend to be fairly dire.

 

Had you been born a week later, the Manics would've been number one on your 21st!!

 

 

[SteveP]

How about me, 21 April 1978? Could be interesting...

[Chubbhead EFM]

Mine are all terrible. Run DMC's ok. It's quite good that I had a song with the word 'pure' in it's title on my 16th birthday! I'm pleased with my shared birthdays though!

 

What was number one on the 27th april 1993?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Chubbhead...

 

27/4/93 - The Bluebells - Young At Heart

 

 

[Chubbhead EFM]

Oh, dear! I won't tell you the relevance of the date!

 

It seems number ones on relevent days in my life are cr@p!
