Oh dear:
"Maggie May/ Reason to Believe" by Rod Stewart

This is like being bron under a bad sign.

A fun game would be to do a reverse birthday lookup based on the song!

I had seen this earlier, only with the proviso that the #1 song would in some way indicate the trajectory your life would follow.

August 10, 1978
"Three Times a Lady" by The Commodores

Needless to say, I take umbrage against the aforementioned assertion.

"Let's Hear It for the Boy" by Deniece Williams

For some reason I get the mental image of everyone in the hospital room dancing around with this song playing in the background like some freaky musical version of my life. Of course it ends with my birth and me swinging my arms and legs to the rest of the beat. What an odd mental image.

For me it was "The House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. Now which song was on top when we were concieved? For me it was "There I said it Again" by Bobby Vinton.

Your lucky Dean you have music videos.

That's to funny Odinn7. LOL.................."Take the Last Train to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the station." That song will be with me all day now. That was a catchy song for me.

My song was "My Sharona" by The Knack (1979). It was a sad day for music, but a great day for humanity. lol

I already knew this and I must say I find it appropriate that the day I was born the number one hit song was "In the year 2525."

Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears

Don't know the song, but I'm glad it's Tears For Fears. I would have preferred Porno for Pyros or some other three named band, but I can't complain. Not to say have any room for complaint.

Also, Scott, considering the top song of the day that we were conceived tells a little bit too much than what I want to know. How do YOU know?

Boy, I wish I had never started this. Most of you weren't born until I was already an adult.

I'll go back to counting my gray hairs now. I wonder what I did with that coonskin cap?

Huh...

Mine was "Rich Girl" by Daryl Hall & John Oates, which I've near heard of althoug the name "John Oates" sounds vaguely familiar for some reasons...

Just you wait BMT, someday some punk kid's gonna ask you "Britney Spears? who was that?"

Well, ok, bad example, but you get the idea.

Mwhahaha!!! Do you think that would be because most people your age don't even know what the internet is yet, or that they're too senile to remember where they put their computer? (http://www.smileys.ws/smls/cheeky/00000031.gif)(http://www.smileys.ws/smls/cheeky/00000013.gif)

"TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" by MFSB & the Three Degrees

which might be alright if I had ever actually heard of this song!

Post by: Rombles on February 23, 2006, 07:26:09 AM

OK. Now this is just silly. I have just been back and checked with my wife's and son's birthdays. Bear in mind here that my son is 7. I HAVEN'T HEARD OF EITHER OF THEIR SONGS EITHER!!!!! And I consider myself to be fairly "into" music. This is really disturbing - or maybe its something to do with this being US #1's, and me being in Australia? But then there is so much US culture (if that is the right word for it) here that that doesn't seem like the right answer.
