Which songs were popular in the years your mom and your dad were each born?

"Flight of the Bumblebee" (Rimsky-Korsakov) for my father and "Claire De Lune" (Debussy) for my mother. This is no lie.

Also, Astaire's version of TWYLT isn't too bad, either.

@rinkydinkydoink Yep, the year for the songs are correct. The performers are rather my own favourites.
