You don't have to answer, but I have to ask... Did your mom have you when she was 11?

[Slomo]

You mean to tell me that in December of 1962 there wasn't a better song to hit #1??

I think this was one of the first UK pop songs to make it big in the US. It's the intro to a very popular radio show over here, that's where I know it from.
Oh and it celebrates the first telecommunication satellite "Telstar" - that should make you feel younger :lol


Good gawd some of you people are YOUNG
