"A song that was a hit before your mother was born"

[edit]

If this song was made in 1967 and the mother was born "a long long time ago" then that means the "song" would have been a "hit" in the 1910's or 1900's - did they even have recorded music back then? ;) 60.240.62.201 07:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OR... could it be an enuendo for something that was popular before "your mother" was born, and since she is a mother, she would also have to know this popular "hit"--Billy Nair (talk) 18:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've heard recordings of brass-bands from the 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, so yeah, they had recorded music back then. 58.105.176.221 (talk) 20:01, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the song now may apply to itself. Wonderful irony, no? --98.199.16.19 (talk) 17:34, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that, before records were available, "hits" were measured by how many copies of the sheet music were sold. So something could be "a hit before your mother was born" and never be recorded.The song itself, rather than a particularversion of the song, was the "hit" (though I don't think they used that term back then - "popular" more like it. --Daveler16 (talk) 01:04, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
