Something for Thursday

Well, I don’t know how often I do this. It’s not very often. Probably the last time was something like Ravel’s Bolero.

I’m about to share something I don’t like at all.

See, there’s this thing that’s been going around social media of late, particularly Tiktok, where you share what the Number One song was when you were born. I looked mine up…and my shoulders sagged. My stomach fell. My heart sank.

I had never heard this before, so I had to go listen to it, hoping against hope that maybe it’s not terrible.

Oh, it is.

Look, I have no problem with this particular artist, but I knew upon seeing this song title that I was not going to dig this particular song. And lo! I did not.

Here, folks, is what was Number One in the land on September 26, 1971. I’m not even going to name it! If I’d waited another week, I’d have arrived during “Maggie May” by Rod Stewart’s chart-topping success. Alas!

Sigh. Here it is….
