the #1 single in the uk when i was born was...



i was reading the music slut, and couldn't resist seeing what was the #1 uk single on the day i was born... Boney M's "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord," which is predictably a christmas song since i was born on december 23. according to all music guide, this song is the fifth best selling single in uk history. wha?? this was probably written pre-gnarls barkley. a part of me kind of wishes it was "daddy cool," which i remember anna spinning when she guest-deejayed at WBAR. boney m was one of those 70s phenoms, kind of like the baha men ("who let the dogs out") and bobby mcferrin ("don't worry be happy"), except it's west indian disco. find your #1 uk birthday song here.
