I think it might be something by Vera Lynn!

(I do know that Olivier was filming the Agincourt sequence from "Henry V" the week I was born.)

When we were born the music was just too good to be classed as pop. In one day and out the other. ;D
When I get old I don't want people thinking

It don't go back very far does it. Won't be a lot of use to most of them on here.
The UK singles charts didn't start until the 14th November 1952.
The UK album chart didn't start until 24th July 1956.

This site may be a little easier to use:

You just enter your DOB & it tells you the No1 single & album with  the option of viewing the No1 on every subsequent birthday too. They have the UK sheet music charts from 26th August 1946 up until the singles charts started, if you were born before that there is not much point looking at the site.
Mine was The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays.

The Marcels - "Blue Moon"
Elvis Presley - "G.I. Blues (no. 1 Album)

Mortality

The Number 1 album was:
Beatles - "Let It Be"

oh thats a bit better.  ;D
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.
