Birthday Song

Do you know what was the biggest hit on the day you were born? I had no idea there were so many songs from that time that I never heard of. I guess my mom wasn't into any of that “play music for your unborn child” kind of stuff. Going by the music that was hot back in the days, I should probably be glad of that. Of the songs that made up the Dutch Top 40 back when I was born, the first one I know is the number 10 hit Another 45 Miles. Not too much else I know either, and whatever songs I do know, I know because they're basically classics that get airplay even today.

I might be able to figure out which songs at another site, but not this one; it only goes back to '65. Yeah, i'm that old.

I hear some restaurants have great senior discounts

The Dutch Top 40 doesn't go back any further, because the first one started January 2nd 1965, according to Wikipedia.
