every breath you take - police. My parents used to buy me the top ten in the charts every year of the week of my birthday and its amazing what bad music was around. Remember Star trekking?
Looking at the list, I think I'm second oldest so far. I can remember when nearly all these were new!!! Mine is Travellin' Light by Cliff Richard and The Shadows.
Wow, now I feel better about my age! (Sorry McMikeyMike!). I was born on June '78 so it probably was the same time you left school (my birthday is in 2 days, ahem!). I just checked what was number 1 the day I left school, it was Wet Wet Wet: Love is all around. Even worse!
The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Tight Fit. Ooohhhh....... I was hoping for something cool like Madness or Adam and the Ants or Squeeze.......but no. I'm not 100% sure of this song but I have a really bad feeling it's that one that goes 'In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight....' PLEASE tell me I'm wrong! I really hate that song!!
