Well, I needed some transcripts from my high school a few years back and I was told they were stored in the archives which were kept in a building they only visit once a week!

Bah-bah-bah-bah,
bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah.
bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
The sheer poetry of it. Would someone please kill me? Thank you.
Sha na na did a lovely version of this at Woodstock.

Loved and thought himself beloved,

"Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin, 03.10.1959
I didn't recognize that by title, but after having heard the melody. It has been copied a lot. I think it is still used a lot in dancing schools for the poor peaple learning foxtrot... argh

[quote="gonzo914"]Good gawd -- It was "The Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page.
quote]
That is a TERRIFIC whistle tune. I go to an old timey jam once in a while and it often gets played, with one of the fiddlers singing it. I'll sometimes weave a harmony into it on a high D.
I'm not saying how old I am, but the top of the charts when I was born was Beethoven's 9th Symphony...
Actually, it was "The Third Man" theme, whatever that is.

Here you go -- Third Man Themebrewerpaul wrote: Actually, it was "The Third Man" theme, whatever that is.
This is not the version that was number 1 the day you were born, but you may recognize the melody.
"The Third Man Theme" was, as one would suppose, the theme of a movie called "The Third Man," a suspense movie that starred Orson Welles as a profiteer in post-war Vienna. The theme in the movie was played on a zither and sounds way cooler that the midi. Here's the skinny on the movie -- The Third Man
And I'll close with a quote from the movie, spoked by Welles playing Harry Lime -- "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

Two thoughts.
1) I'm really bummed that I remember when the songs most of you have posted were brand new.
2) I'm even more bummed that many of you seem to really like the songs from your birth day. When I was growing up, the only respectable thing to do was to reject everything your parents liked, especially the music.
Sincerely,
"Buttons and Bows" by Dinah Shore

"To Each His Own" Eddy Howard, September 29, 1946.
Each His Own
- Artists: The Platters
- peak Billboard position # 21 in 1960
- Words and Music by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
- In 1946 there were five Top 10 versions- Eddy Howard (#1).The Ink Spots (#1)
Freddy Martin (#1), The Modernaires with Paula Kelly (#3),and Tony Martin (#4)
- also charted by The Tymes at # 78 in 1964
- also charted by Frankie Laine at # 82 in 1968
A rose must remain with the sun and the rain
Or its lovely promise won't come true
To each his own, to each his own
And my own is you
What good is a song if the words just don't belong?
And a dream must be a dream for two
No good alone, to each his own
For me there's you
CHORUS
If a flame is to grow there must be a glow
To open each door there's a key
I need you, I know, I can't let you go
Your touch means too much to me
Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed
Or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own, I've found my own
One and only you
REPEAT FROM CHORUS
Don't know the song myself but also listed above is the Ink Spots! When my parents bought their first H-Fi stereo, the store gave them ten free albums, Ink Spots greatest hits, Grand Canyon Suite, Best of Mario Lanza. My mom played the Ink Spots like the teenager she was once.
