Same.......3 days away from I Love Rock 'N Roll.....damn.

Everyneurotic's post sparked some reminisces, so please pardon me. I remember watching Olivia's abc special for the "Physical" album. It was during the Jane Fonda workout craze. I was a big fan of Olivia Newton-John as a wee one (The Simpsons reference), and while watching that show, I first became acquainted to what "selling out" & what soulless "cheese" was. The first albums I ever owned were her Greatest Hits volume 1 & 2 & the Xanadu soundtrack, which, although they contained elements of cheese as well, were somewhat more artistic efforts.

It does go to show something. Both songs are pretty much about male desire and the male gaze I suppose....which is quite apt for a self confessed perv such as yourself :) I think it's time to throw astrology in the bin and take up numberoneology...

Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses.

i fucking hate that song

I love that song. Wanna swap birthdays? I don't actually like Kraftwerk, in spite of the fact that that's not really the right thing to say.

Bee Gees - Night Fever (US).
I'm not even sure if I know that song.

Dutch number 1 that day were also the fucking Bee Gees... but Staying Alive.

Oh, come now - surely that song is implanted in the blood of every living person who's ever been to an awful school/ wedding disco?

Well I know Staying Alive and plenty of other Bee Gees songs of course, but this one doesn't ring a bell that quickly... I'll check a soundsample.

Seems it wasn't a number 1 song in holland anyway.

1978 was an awful year for number 1 songs... apart from the Bee Gees it has a lot of other Saturday Night Fever/Grease songs (Olivia Newton John with and without John Travolta) plus Boney M and Meatloaf. :rolleyes:

i checked it on amazon and i do indeed know it... i just never knew the title until now.

I have a mixture of awesome and awful. In the USA Michael Jackson was number 1 with Don't Stop Till You Get Enough (the awesome), but in the UK The Poolice were number one with Message In A Bottle (and the awful)

I think you failed to mis-spell Police there.

9 december mcmlxxxv is my bday . . . the week closest to that, it was broken wings by mr. mister, whoever the hell that is.

Batdance - Prince

edit: What a shit/crazy song!

hahahahahahah.

Take...these broken weengsss...and learn to fly againnn, on the weenndd...

And when you heeaarr...the voices sinngg...

Be glad if you've truly never heard that song.

Hey man, "Message In A Bottle" is actually a pretty cool song ...love that opening riff.

The Police rocked, it's Sting's solo work that sucks.

how should i have done it?

Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hanging On

Among other options that year, such as U2, Whitney Housten, George Michael, and Bon Jovi, that's not too bad. Though I would have prefered that crappy Starship song - just because it's Grace Slick.

Another Day in ParadisePhil Collins

Same here.
