Go to youtube, search for your birth year, post the first hit.

I couldn't help it, had to go with the top three:



1) Louis Armstrong on the Flip Wilson Show (I remember watching that show), singing... Mack the Knife. Heh.

2) A collection of 70's Toy Ads... although I think most are from '72. I *had* the Smash Up Derby. I had the station wagon, my brother had the coupe. We also had the Water Wiggle and Slip 'n' Slide. I'm pretty sure I had an SSP car as well - note the Ram Jet that looks an awful lot like Gary Gabelich's Blue Flame LNG rocket car. (First >1000km/hr land speed record, Oct 1970.)

3) Kraftwerk doing a live gig in 1970 - I honestly didn't realize they formed that early.

Oh yeah. It's incredible - somewhere along the way, Flip Wilson and Laugh-In got replaced by American Idol and Survivor.

I blame Aaron Spelling.
