Members Matt Posted December 22, 2005 Members Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yes, I have. I own both the soundtrack and the DVD. It's one of my favorite bad movies of all time and the song "Xanadu" could very easily be considered my favorite song of all-time. I have multiple sites on the net concerning the movie bookmarked on my computer and I also am a member of the Xanadu fanlisting (one of the very few fanlistings I belong to).

Members Max Posted December 22, 2005 Members Share Posted December 22, 2005 Kenny, this is an excellent idea for a thread! I loved reading everybody's responses so far. The number #1 song on the day/week I was born was "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc. However, I must state that I really do not care for this song. I mean, it's an OK song, but it is hardly one of the songs I love. Regarding birthdays, I just occurred to me that it might also be interesting to list which song was #1 on the day/week that each of the following soaps debuted: (Note that I don't know the #1 songs when SFT, LOL, GL, and TSS debuted, since all of these soaps pre-date rock and roll.) ATWT & TEON (April 2, 1956): Poor People of Paris--Les Baxter GH & The Doctors (April 1, 1963): He's So Fine--The Chiffons AW (May 4, 1964): Hello, Dolly!--Louis Armstrong DOOL (November 8, 1965): Get Off My Cloud--The Rolling Stones OLTL (July 15, 1968): Grazing in the Grass--Hugh Masakela AMC (January 5, 1970): Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head--B.J. Thomas Somerset (March 30, 1970): Bridge Over Troubled Water--Simon & Garfunkel Y&R (March 26, 1973): Killing Me Softly with His Song--Roberta Flack RH (July 7, 1975): Love Will Keep Us Together--The Captain & Tennille Texas (August 4, 1980): Magic--Olivia Newton-John Capitol (March 26, 1982): I Love Rock 'n' Roll--Joan Jett & the Blackhearts Loving (June 26, 1983): Flashdance...What a Feeling--Irene Cara SaBa (July 30, 1984): When Doves Cry--Prince B&B (March 23, 1987): Lean on Me--Club Nouveau Generations (March 27, 1989): Eternal Flame--The Bangles The City (November 13, 1995): Fantasy--Mariah Carey SuBe (January 6, 1997): Un-Break My Heart--Toni Braxton PC (June 1, 1997): MMMBop--Hanson Passions (July 5, 1999): If You Had My Love--Jennifer Lopez On a sadder note, here are the #1 songs on the day/week that each of the following soaps aired their last episode: (Note that I don't know what song was #1 when PC aired its last episode, since "The 'Billboard' Book of #1 Hits" stops before the day PC last aired.) TSS (February 8, 1974): Love's Theme--The Love Unlimited Orchestra Somerset (December 31, 1976): Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)--Rod Stewart LOL (February 1, 1980): Rock with You--Michael Jackson The Doctors & Texas (December 31, 1982): Maneater--Daryl Hall & John Oates TEON (December 28, 1984): Like a Virgin--Madonna SFT (December 26, 1986): Walk Like an Egyptian--The Bangles Capitol (March 20, 1987): Lean on Me--Club Nouveau RH (January 12, 1989): My Prerogative--Bobby Brown Generations (January 25, 1991): The First Time--Surface SaBa (January 15, 1993): I Will Always Love You--Whitney Houston Loving (November 10, 1995): Fantasy--Mariah Carey The City (March 23, 1997): Can't Nobody Hold Me Down--Puff Daddy featuring Mase AW (June 25, 1999): If You Had My Love--Jennifer Lopez SuBe (December 31, 1999): Smooth--Santana featuring Rob Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members taybas123 Posted December 23, 2005 Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer. Gotta love 1977. Lucky!!! I love that song!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 24, 2005 Members Share Posted December 24, 2005 Time After Time By Cyndi Lauper. Kind of weird to think of that playing on every radio station in heavy rotation, especially now that I am such a VH1 Classic freak. In the UK, the #1 song was "Wake Me Up Before You GoGo" by Wham!
