What song was #1 on the day you were born

[Mudbugfish]

Have you ever done this?

Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born.

On the day Heather Mills (the ex Mrs McCartney) was born (12th Jan 1968) it was Hello Goodbye by The Beatles!

My number #1's are:
'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia

See which songs you get
This day in Music

"Prisoner of Love" by Perry Como

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Apperently 'Dancing In The Street' by David Bowie & Mick Jagger was #1 on the day I was born.

Did that have any influence on how I turned out?

Probably.

These two posts make me feel old and I don't like it. Shut up, both of you.

And FYI - that Starship song may just be the worst song of all time. Ever. I would rather listen to, I dunno, maybe Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush" than that song.

That's great! You were 13 when you joined Interference.

At least you got Rush Rush instead of I Touch Myself.
