#1 on Billboard - TTLG Forums

Apparently, on the day I was born, the number one song on Billboard was...

Hall and Oates - Maneater.

I looked it up on Youtube.

I got this:

What the fuck?

God I hate the 80s sometimes.

I got 'Play that Funky Music White Boy'. :cool:
Can't imagine much better from that period.

actually Maneater is an awesome song, the chord progression is very slick, modulating from a major to minor key and you dont even realise it.

Motherfucking BeeGees. :mad:

Also, the "hit on your birthday" thing, I did that too. I got (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRrU-tG9uZw) this, which is a great song.

Does anyone perhaps have a link to this thing so the rest of us can play too?

Thanks.

"Endless Love" by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie. Ehhhh, I'd rather have been born at the start of the year when some cool tracks by Blondie, Kool & The Gang and Dolly Parton were ruling the charts.
