No...apparently it was "It's Too Late/ I Feel the Earth Move" by Carole King. Never heard it.

I remembered learning a while ago that it was an Elvis hit, but didn't remember which one. My memory was correct: it was "Don't Be Cruel" AND "Hound Dog"! -- an Elvis double whammy!

I Feel the Earth Move is a GREAT song!! We used to put on the Carole King Tapestry album and dance to it when we were teenagers.

Yes... 1967, and America was in the throes of the Viet Nam "Conflict" and the nascent Youth/Hippie/Drug culture. There was a segment of the US population who were terrified and disgusted by the long-haired hippies and Berkeley protesters, by rock music and civil rights....
This bizarre, ultra-right-wing song [To a vigorous marching beat, a father sings that he hopes his son will die for the USA] was a sudden hit that provided a startling countermand against all the war protest songs that filled the airwaves...

I've looked this up before, and got "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" by Cher. None of which has anything to do with me.

(Sittin on the) Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding , which at the time of looking it up I thought rather mellow , however , one does pine for the Bay , a lot

this song mocks me.

#1 Song On The Day You Were Born? In which part of the world?!? Huh?
I and Marilyn Manson could have a birthday party together - I like listen to him much more than some song I've never heard of but that was on the top of the lists in another continent.
