There’s a trend on Insta where people are sharing the best known song from the year of their birth. One of my gym coaches put hers up; Toxic by Britney Spears. Fuck. Why are you following your 20 year old gym coach on inst…oh |

Would be an easy assumption to make, but she asked everyone to. She’s trying to go pro, she was competing in the Crossfit Games in Lyon last month. Apparently that requires sponsorship, which requires profile, which requires followers.

Hell, I didn't even wait till my 30s to start feeling that way... Comfiness > crazy, if I want loud music I'll choose my faves at home and if I want thrills I'll... I dunno, go fight Malenia again or something  |

Apparently the best song from my birth year was Superstition by Stevie Wonder. I'll take that.

Rick Astley for me.
Looking at the official top 40 for the year, it wasn't a great year for music.

Because you're an old fucker, what pisses me off these days (apart from many many other things) is just how long minor cuts or bruises take to heal. I'm sure in my 30s it'd be a few days, now it's weeks.

I don't think I ache all the time, but I don't think I've had an actually pain free day for, well, years. Could be my shins hurting, or my shoulder, or neck, or back, headache, sinuses, eye, whatever.
But there's at least one ache or pain somewhere for at least a bit each day. Never enough to think I need immediate attention, and never persistent enough in any one spot to think it's worth a visit to the GP- on the odd occasion I have tried to schedule a visit, by the time I could actually get an appointment, in 2-3 weeks time, the concerning injury had cleared up.
Biggest song from my birth year is probably Every Breath You Take which isn't too bad.

Biggest song from my year of birth is probably either Beatles - come together or Clarence Clearwater revival - fortunate son
Yes, I'm really fucking old.

So mine was "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by some guys from Liverpool according to Billboard magazine.
Being old sucks.

Agree on the slow healing thing, I've had a muscle pain in my shoulder for about six fucking months.

Well apparently Band Aid was the top selling song but I’ll pick Toy Dolls Nellie The Elephant or Queen Radio Ga Ga from the top 40

The actual no.1 for my birthday was Seasons in the Sun but Tiger Feet was the best selling that year. '74 (barring a few exceptions) was not a good year.

I've just discovered I was born in the same year that the song Shaddup You Face AND the Birdie Song came out.
What a great year.
