(I recommend providing a fake email address)

Mine was:

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
by
The Righteous Brothers


I feel old now

 

[Edgette]

"Magic" by Olivia Newton-John

 

[kariatari]

"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.

Not bad, not bad.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

"Tonight's the Night" by Rod Stewart

I knew without having to look it up, because my mom bought me a framed get-up that has the record single and a plaque saying "This was the #1 song on the day HeartlandGirl was born." It's hanging up in my living room.

Gotta say, though, I like Janet Jackson's version of the song better than Rod's.

 

[Elvis Presley]

"You Light Up My Life" by
Debby Boone


looks like I win this contest....
