What was Number 1 when your car was made?

[W00DY]

Shamelessly stolen from Retro Rides. What was the UK Number 1 single when your car was first registered? Does it suit the car?

I'm not going to bother with the Beetles as I don't know when the '81 was made and the '65's track was incredibly dull and I can't be bothered to dig out the date again.

So...

29/09/1987
Peugeot 309 GTI




Pump Up the Volume - MARRS


An utterly fabulous track I'm sure you'll agree. Interestingly*, I decided to start a cassette collection a few weeks back given that it still has the original Philips 751 installed and after spending £1.50 at the local car-boot sale, I came away with 30-ish tapes, one of which was Now 10 (double cassette, baby ) that includes this very track. I think it really rather captures the fun nature of the little Peugeot.



So, good or awful. What is the track that shall forever be linked with your motor? http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1


Mods- This is mainly a car-based discussion. Please don't move it, I spend enough time talking to music obsessives to know that I will not enjoy having it in the Music section. Thanks.

It was in 2009 so whatever it was it was probably crap.

Sadly it looks like it was the original version of Candle in the Wind....

Just put in my '79 RS2000 and got 'Cars' by Gary Numan. You could say that is appropriate I guess.

NKOTB - You Got It. Not very auspicious I guess. November 1989.

Your car easily makes up for it though.

Nice. I could definitely see myself in an RS2000 blasting that out down the local high-street.

Blimey....just realised it was the Diana version. How time flies!

Good Times by Roll Deep, or possibly Roll Deep by Good Times? I've never heard of it but it was almost exactly one year ago, and my memory isn't so good...

[Romanymagic]

Madonna - Hung Up, not too bad I guess (2nd week November 2005).

[sawman]

orinoco flow by enya in the uk, but u2's desire topped the chart in australia

[TomS09]

A1 - Take on me. Dont think you could possibly get any worse!

[DannyVTS]

2/9/06 MX5:

Deja Vu - Beyonce

On the day I was born:

Careless Whisper - George Michael

gayer

[Hitler Hadrump]

"Back Home - England World Cup Squad"

Listening to it on YouTube, it's quite jolly.

[Hoover.]

well one car was

sean kingston - bleeding love ..... (no idea what that even sounds like)

and the other car

shakespearse sister - stay ..... (can't moan at that can I lol)

[zeb]

sadly it would appear to be hero by enrique englasias (which I can confidently say is the wrong spelling!)

[DubZeus]

Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) - Paul Young ...is that really appropriate to a Mk1 golf??

[driverrob]

UB40 with (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You.
Means nothing to me. In the Summer of 1993 I was occupied with far more important matters than the top 10.

'Angel' by Shaggy & Rayvon. (29th June 2001)

What a disappointment that is.
