The Birthdate Challenge

[Lew Bear]

I decided to learn one of the songs that was number 1 on my birthday, which is Joe Dolces Shaddap Your Face, which was number 1 in Australia on the day of my birth

This led me to think we could make a challenge of this

Who fancies recording a cover of a song that was number 1 on your day of birth? We'll make a bit of a radio show of the people who send them in and have a bit of a laugh

Here's a website where you can find out the number 1's of your birthday from UK, US and Australia to help you out

You dont have to stick to those countries though, any country will be fine, just when you send your track through tell me which country it was number 1 in and your birthday

End date to send tracks through will be my birthday, the 5th of Dec

All of the ones on my birthday, or my 18th or even 21st birthday, SUCK. I didn't have very good birthdays, apparently! LOL

My USA birthday song is EC's version of I shot the sheriff. Mmmmm? Been done to death. Anyway Marleys is better. The Aussie one was one I've never heard of. Can't remember the name of the song but I think the guys name is Steve Wright. Hopefully not the DJ.

I must admit, I'd love to hear it hahaha

Dont worry, the one I've picked was the number 1 in Aus, my UK one was by ABBA, which I left well alone

Check out your others, I couldnt leave people just one choice

Great fun Lew. I just looked mine up for UK charts and it's THE OSMANDS - Love me for a reason. Ha ha ha ha. Somehow I can't see me getting away with that one. :)

Then that just makes it a more interesting challenge - turn something that sucks into something that doesnt suck

I've heard stunning versions of Britney Spears, Abba and Softcell - anything is possible
