Well the UK Number One on the day I was born was 'Mull Of Kintyre/Girls School' by Wings and the US Number One was 'How Deep Is Your Love' by The Bee Gees.
Posted: 17:26 Aug 24 2002 Classic song - I'm guessing that when you were born it was the 80s reissue not the 1957 original?

I also remember when Relax was in it's heyday although I was only young I remember it being played at school discos and the like. Theres nothing like the 80's they were the best!!!

Can anyone tell me who Captain Sensible is and why he was so happy that he had to talk about it on my Birthday please? 
Posted: 03:02 Aug 25 2002 He was the bass player with the Damned, but he had a few solo hits in the 80s. 'Happy Talk' is a Rogers & Hammerstein song (from South Pacific, I think), so it was always a bit of a joke record.
