I bet you have a clue who her nephew George is.

OH my wife filled me in about the Clooney clan. She is an American and she even knew the song.

 

[Frito Ray]

I’d like to say Bad to the Bone, it would make me a lot younger.

Same to you.

Thank you!

This website helps.
What Was The Number 1 Record On The Day You Were Born? - https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthday-no1/

I then go to Wikipedia to get a verifiable linked source confirming it was number 1 on that specific date.

Then I go to YT to get the appropriate video by the original artist.

What was the number one song in your country on the day you were born?

Here's mine. It was John Leyton - Johnny Remember Me, Number one from August 31st - September 21st 1961 in the UK.

I was born 15th September.

What's yours?

Since I was born June 14, Flag Day, I expect it was the National Anthem.

Aretha Franklin - Respect

Hit No.1 on June 3rd 1967. Happy birthday's in order yet?

Since I was born June 14, Flag Day, I expect it was the National Anthem.

June 14th 1950, an excellent no.1!

Anton Karas's zither theme from Carol Reid's The Third Man. A cinema classic.

I added NZ into my search as each country would be different for the number one song and got the same result on a few I looked at.

Of course there is also Stan Freberg's wonderful parody, also from 1955.
