As I feared - You're The One That I Want by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. The Grease generation. At least it wasn't called You're The One That We Didn't Really Want But Accidents Happen.

Jeez, Archel, my birthday number 1 is 'Summer Nights' - maybe that's why we're sisters under the skin.

Also from that website:

<<1957, Elvis Presley was rushed to a Los Angles hospital after swallowing a porcelain cap from one of his front teeth which then lodged itself in one of his lungs.>>

Now, call me picky, but that's not swallowing, that's _inhaling_. Not everything Elvis is to do with food - sometimes it's to do with breathing instead.

Nah pop no style, a strictly roots. and ting.

― Simeon, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ag. Y.M.C.A. Most hated climax at end of young-persons discos in Ireland. And in America: Too Much Heaven by the bloody Bee Gees. I should not have been premature.

BUT: at conception: NIGHT FEVER and WUTHERING HEIGHTS giving the week the right dosage of passion and sinister obsession to create a young lady of delight such as meself.

― nickie, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

born - long haired lover from Liverpool by Little Jimmy Osmond

Conceived - Amazing Grace by the pipes and drums band of the scots dragoon guards!!!!

― chris, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You are all decades younger than me, grr.

Mine is A Fool Such As I / I Need Your Love Tonight by Elvis Presley. I share my birthday (not the year, though) with Nancy Sinatra. And Frank Lloyd Wright, which is nice (got this from famousbirthdays.net).

― Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― Archel, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Born: What's Another Day? - Johnny Logan, and conceived :Cliff Richard -We Don't Talk Anymore, or Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays. Bit crap really.

― Alix, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
