You don't know "Alone Again (Naturally)"?? *sigh* Good grief, I'm old.
I never liked it all that much, but that scene in The Virgin Suicides when they're playing music to each other over the phone instead of talking made me like it a little bit.
Mine's "Baby Love" by The Supremes. And I've never like the song, either. It also looks like it was #1 for most of the month, too. I'd much rather have "Alone Again." That song always seemed to come on at the right time.
I listened to "Alone Again". It is kind of familiar. I feel lame that I don't know a number one hit from the last 50 years. I thought I knew all the hits! :)
Your song is fabulous, BP. I have always loved that song. I see some people chimed in on your thread. I thought maybe this has been done before. I remember now that I read your thread when you originally posted it. My memory is shot.
"Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison. Never heard of it. But that was in the US. In Australia, where I was born, it was "A Fool Such As I" by Elvis Presley.
Miko - It looks like you share the same birth week as my wife. "In the Year 2525" (which is an awesome song, and certainly up there on my musical guilty pleasures list along with ABBA and Jim Steinman) is her song as well.
