It's My Party was number one on my twelfth birthday! 'Happy Birthday' by Altered Images was also in the charts that week, so anyone celebrating a birthday in October 81 had two birthday themed songs in the charts specially for them.

Oh yeah, and for many years I assumed that the Dave Stewart in Eurythmics was the same one as in this song, but they are in fact two different people with the same name.

Was a good song, I can remember going to a local disco in our Scout Hall and they must have played it about 10 times throughout the evening! The follow up was bizarrely..."We're busy doing nothing"....don't know why Dave and Babs chose such an uncool song

I used to think It was the same Dave Stewart too till a few years ago! Great song though. I loved it when I was a kid. I can't believe it was 1981! Seems like only yesterday!

I also wasn't sure if it was the same Dave Stewart.

I've got an old Ronco tape with their version of Johnny Rocco.
