I seem to recall that "All you need is love" was written in a very unusual time signature for a pop song, so I'm going to guess it has something to do with that.....

Is it something to do with it being New Years Eve last night?

Both were number one at the end of the decade?

"All you need is love" was number 1 in July 1967.

I've never heard of the other track.

I was aware of that, but....

you are on the right lines
is it something to do with re-releases?

1999 was released as 1998 in 1998, 1999 in 1999 etc.

3 hours on and I haven't got a clue.

Is it actually anything factually to do with the songs or the artists, or is it just some sort of coincidence?

its a fact based link, nothing at all to do with the content of the tracks, a kind of coincidence but not in other ways because the link was created a deliberate choice of these tracks.

ok... think media....

I'm going to just throw something out here.

You mentioned that I was close when I was talking about New Year last night.

Is it just that a programme played All You Need Is Love and then 1999 back to back?

1999 was the last song played before the millenium and then they played All You Need is Love.

It would make sense it was 10 years ago, why would they play 1999 now, unless they were being retro!

correctamundo!

1999 was the last track ever played on radio 1 in the twentieth centuary, 'all you need is love' was the first record ever played on radio 1 in this centuary!

just a bit of trivial nonsense that just might crop up in a quiz one day... lol.
