I don't even know this song. And, it's sandwiched in between two songs I barely missed: "Sixteen Tons" and "Heartbreak Hotel."

Feb 10, 1963: "Hey, Paula"

Wish I was born a year later; it would have been "I wanna hold your hand." I'm much more of a Beatles fan... Plus then I'd be a year younger.

Doesn't go back far enough but my mom used to tell me that "Ogg bangs two rocks together and smiles" was very popular when I was born.

Mine was "How Much is that Doggie in the Window"! Jeez. I wouldn't have minded "Wake Up Little Susie".

Try here, Dale -- Poor People of Paris played by Chet Atkins

Look for the Listen Now link in the middle of the page.

It's not the Les Baxter version, but you may recognize the tune.

The Les Baxter version was an instrumental. There are some seldom heard-lyrics, but they really suck.

"Come on a My House" . Great - I love that song!!!

... no - it's not an invite, it's a true classic which (like moi) is way ahead of its time!!!

"Family Affair" by Sly and the Family Stone. (November 29 1971). If I had been born on my due date (Nov. 18 ) it would have been the Theme from "Shaft". That'd been cool!

Weird. I just noticed that the #1 song on November 29, 2001 was "Family Affair" by Mary J. Blige. What are the odds?

Lyrics:
Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
