And what's wrong with "Magic" and Olivia Newton-John?!?

Olivia is fabulous!

Apparently, my life theme is "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx.

LOL! Have you seen Xanadu?

LOL! Have you seen Xanadu?

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).

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.)

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.)

Lucky!!! I love that song!!

Say You Say Me - Lionel Richie

The Flame - Cheap Trick

Say Say Say - Paul McCartney & Micheal Jackson
