#1 Song on the Day You Were Born

wolf · 10-29-2005, 12:52 AM

What was the number one song on your birthday??

The UK pop charts began in 1952 & the US charts in 1955. If you were born before these dates, try your life's theme song which is the No.1 on your 18th birthday

US: The Twist - Chubby Checker
UK: The Young Ones - Cliff Richard and the Shadows

Never heard the UK hit.

I decided that my life's theme song based on my 18th birthday Just didn't work. It was some KC and the Sunshine Band tune (Please Don't Go) that I never heard of. The British Chart Topper was Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd, which is certainly good.

My 21st birthday US #1 song, however, was Down Under - Men at Work.

That I'm cool with.

0th birthday: Take Good Care Of My Baby - Bobby Vee

18th birthday: My Sharona - The Knack

21st birthday: Maniac - Michael Sembello

All crap. That explains why I listen to so little pop / mainstream radio. sheesh.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this but the #1 song on the day I morphed into a gurgling blob of ectoplasm was...

I’m Sorry - Brenda Lee

And the hits just keep on comin'

Feb. 29, 1964-The Beatles-I wanna hold your hand

ashke · 10-29-2005, 04:42 AM

Top song when I was born:

US: Say You Say Me - Lionel Richie
UK: The Sun Always Shines On TV - A-Ha

I guess it's a little funny too since I was born on a Sunday. Alliterative goodness!

18th Birthday: Hey Ya - Outkast; All This Time - Michelle

I n'vr heard these two songs... and that was just last year -___- Oh well.

Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O’Sullivan
Puppy Love - Donny Osmond

18
Vision Of Love - Mariah Carey
Turtle Power - Partners In Kryme

21
Can't Help Falling In Love - UB40
Pray - Take That

I'm dissapointed, I've never heard any of these songs but I'm sure they all suck. (although I assume the UB40 tune is an elvis cover, I've only ever heard their Red, Red wine, so that's probably not too bad). Is July a bad month for music or what?
