Great song, I've got it on a ICDE CD.

For me, the #1 was Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (both US and UK). I'll post the list of all the #1's on my birthday soon (It does include U2!).

C ya!

I Should Be So Lucky by Kylie Minogue. *starts singing*

[1a:]
In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be mine

[1b:]
In my imagination
There is no hesitation
We walk together hand in hand
I'm dreaming
You fell in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true

[CHORUS:]
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky lucky
I should be so lucky in love
I should be so lucky
Lucky lucky lucky
I should be so lucky in love

[2a:]
It's a crazy situation
You always keep me waiting
Because its only make believe
And I would come a-running
To give you all my loving
If one day you would notice me

[2b:]
My heart is close to breaking
And I can't go on faking
The fantasy that you'll be mine
I'm dreaming
That you're in love with me
Like I'm in love with you
But dreaming's all I do
If only they'd come true

[CHORUS:]

[BRIDGE:]
I should be so lucky (so lucky, so lucky)
I should be so lucky
I, I, (I, I)
I should be so lucky (so lucky, so lucky)
I should be so lucky
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

[1b:]

[CHORUS:]
[repeat & fade]

Who was hipper, the Brits or the Yanks? Needless to say, I side with the British on this issue.
 
U.S. Charts: Aretha Franklin - Respect (One of my favorite songs!)

U.K. Charts: Procul Harem - A Whiter Shade of Pale (I've always liked that song, but had no idea who did it until now.)
