Mine was the Beethoven Symphony #3. It wasn't available in vinyl for another 135 years, though.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't all know already, since this is such an erudite group of bloggers and all, but the symphony is known as "Eroica" (NOT EROTICA!) and was originally going to be dedicated to Napoleon, until Nappie crowned himself Emperor. Our hero Ludvie was so outraged at that audacity that he PM'd Kerry, no that wasn't it, he savagely attacked the symphony's manuscript and in attempting to rub out Little Nap's name, he ripped the paper.

I guess he had some second thoughts when Boney died, though. He was said to have commented that the second movement (a funeral dirge) had been written for Bonaparte, 17 years in advance.

Youtube has Karajan conducting it--go take a listen.

CindyRoss, wow! That was one blast from the past. Thanks for the history lesson, seriously.

I won't tell. No no.

This is cool. My guess was something by the Beatles, and I looked and sure enough, it was "Money Can't Buy Me Love."
Money can't buy me love; that's a theory I'd love to put to the test sometime.

Heartbreak Hotel by the King!

Purple People Eater.

Now I know I'm older than Nana and apparently about 135 years younger than Cindy! ;)

Let Me Go, Lover... By Joan Weber I never heard of her?

"You Call Everybody Darlin" by Al Trace

I know...me either! But hmmmm....as the metaphor for my life, not bad. (I listened to it on iTunes.)

Fun!

This was a lot of fun and a well needed break from the stressful things going on.. Thank you
Mine was "I'm Henry VII, I Am- by Herman's Hermit.
I wouldn't have guesses that one by a long shot.

Zuma, come on, you know you want to tell us.

Nanatehay, money can buy you love and if you're really lucky you'll get an STD as a FREE bonus.

CoyoteOldStyle, a true classic for a class act.

HighLonesome, I'm sure Cindy was not beign honest.

Brie, I never heard of her either, but I have heard the song.

Buffy, there are no coincidences.

Fireeyes, see my reply to Buffy. lol

I should get a Public Service EP for this post. Maybe I should re-title it "Michael Jackson never sang the song that was #1 on the day you were born to Farrah, David, Ed, Billie, Osama, Obama, Iraq, Iran, Aliens, Gays, Lesbians and Transgendered People."

I'm glad you enjoyed this refreshing break from all the craziness. Happy Fourth of July. I hope it's a blast.

Excuse me, Tiredeyes! But as the almost-fiancee to Herman of Herman's Hermits, I must take exception to your song. If they sang about Henry VII, they could at least have told me about it. I know all about Henry VIII, and now I'm feeling left out that my Tiger Beat Heartthrob did not see fit to tell me that they recorded a song about the previous Henry! For all I know, they have sung about Henry VI, V, IV, III, II, and I as well, and were heartless enough to share that with you, but not with me!!! And don't get me started on Richard III!!!!!

Island Girl by Elton John.

...

Cindy "Eagle Eyes" Ross, that was not a typo. "Henry VII" was the B-side of "Henry VIII". lol

Jodi, that was a great song.

Let's Go Crazy, by Prince & the Revolution. Hmm. Never heard of it before.

Paper Doll by the Mills Brothers. I'm old.

When I was born, this was the most popular song

Actually it was Sailor Beware by Virginia Mayo. Apparently the message was 9 months too late for my parents (my father was even in the Navy and still ignored the message)

"Everything is beautiful" by Ray Stevens.
::ew::

AshKW, interesting.

BoomerBob, words of wisdom fall on deaf ears.

dharmabummer, everything is beautiful indeed.

Cindy Ross just made me snerfle coffee out of my nose. I won't even try to top that. My song was "Teen Angel". Happy 4th!

Cartouche, you live up to your name-song. Happy 4th!

Mozart's Jupiter Symphony. It topped the charts for a year, till Beethoven came along.

Lea, you mean to tell me you are older than Cindy Ross?
No way, you are too cute! ; )
