Gacked from Nefaria (again)

1) Find out the song that was #1 the week you were born.
2) Find that song on YouTube.
3) Post that video on your wall without shame.

This one doesn't sound too bad now. (Would someone like to return my YouTube favor by telling me how to embed on LJ? I tried copy-pasting the embed URL, but it came out blank.)

ADDENDUM: Thank you, Nefaria and Cerulean.

Check the box "Use old embed code" for code that will work on LJ.

Where is that box?

On the video's YouTube page, Click the "Share" button below the video, which will make more stuff appear. Click the "Embed" button to get the rest. There will be a window full of code that will change according to what you select from the checkboxes ("Use old embed code" is fourth of four) and size options below it. Then you can copy the text out of the window and paste it into your post.

Now I see. Thank you.

For me, it was Heart Of Gold by Neil Young. Though I'm gonna go with America's Horse With No Name, which went #1 the next day

I do miss the era when the number one songs were, for one reason or another, unforgettable. Number one songs in the last decade or so are for the most part immediately forgotten.

WIMZ regularly plays rock from the late 60's through early 90's. A lot of what's been popular since the mid 90's makes me wonder what classic rock stations will be playing 20-30 years from now.

Use the YouTube embed code, the result should look something like this with < and > instead of [ and ]:

Got it; thanks.
