    "I feel Love"

    Possibly more appropriate for a wedding anniversary ..

    "Looks like we made it"

    Possibly more appropriate were I a twin.

    Hehe, use away! You inspired me Bard ;-)

    I got some stupid Donny Osmond song for the UK and Killing Me Softly with His Song by Roberta Flack for the US, not so bad.

    Now if we could have a reverse number one lookup we'd know what ages we all are!
