Jebus, you're all so young. I remember most of these songs being released.

Way Down, by Elvis.

The weird thing is I remember a lot of these songs many of you have posted.

As for me, it was: The Joker (The Steve Miller Band) I really like your peaches... [/shakes your tree]

Edit: Alfaholic has a birthday very close to mine. So does Pako.
Edit II: Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade (U.K.)...three weeks after Christmas ended.
Edit III: Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress) by Helen Reddy (Aus.)... Never heard of it.
