Don't put yourself down SM70.

There's a little bit of England in all of us. :D

Trust me, Carn, you've heard both, unless you've lived in a hole your entire life and only listened to country.

Oh My God... I totally forgot this song... consider yourself lucky for not hearing it... David Soul was Hutch from Starsky and Hutch - and well.. could make David Hasselhof sound good... :)

Eeaaghhh! Stop it. Stop it now!

-Yet Another Beatles Child

Can't say I'm excited by sharing the day with any of them... Bill Cosby and Julius Caesar are more impressive (imo).

THis thread is scaring me and putting ear worms in my head... I'm not hearing Don't Give Up on us baby, by David Soul-- a totally synthesized piece of crap... Anyone old enough to remember John Travolta's foray into the music world? :D

Yeah probably.. I'd have to listen to some of their songs though to see if I remember.

I never listened to music until about middle school. I was homeschooled up until then, and my parents were really strict so I only ever heard classical music and shit like that.

This proves that people celebrate my birthday by listening to BAD MUSIC.

Ouch. I believe the damage resulting from that is why I later felt compelled to purchase William Shatner's and Leonard Nimony's albums. The horror.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was never the same.

If you haven't, don't. Please.
