Well I generally keep quiet about this, but the number one when I was born was a song called Something Stupid.

Yes, I know.

It was by Frank and Nancy Sinatra.

Bloody hell, I was 18 when that was No1 and just starting a 3 year course as a full time student in London. It was constantly played on the radio at the time(also known as wireless for many of us).
