Title: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Spiritinthesky on August 18, 2008, 08:12:07 AM 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 http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1 Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: The Heartical Don on August 18, 2008, 08:13:37 AM You are one young pup...

I had a punk obsession myself for years. It weaned when I got older but some of that simple stuff has stood the test of time surprisingly well. Tomorrow I'm going to play: 'Wanna Buy A Bridge?', a legendary sampler LP on the Rough Trade label. Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Jonas on August 18, 2008, 12:40:51 PM the question is if people can reverse it and figure out the date from the record (or atleast week/month)

US: "Alone" - Heart AU: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" - Whitney Houston Apparently that website has no idea what the number one hit was in the UK, but I'm sure it was equally disgusting. Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: mikee on August 27, 2008, 02:18:40 AM Thomas Edison saying "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
Actually for me it was U.S. "Nature Boy" by Nat King Cole For BB's with birthdates within the time parameter offered by this website: Carl Wilson: U.S. "Old Buttermilk Sky" by Kay Kyser David Marks U.S. " You Call Everybody Darlin' " by Al Trace Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: lance on August 31, 2008, 01:50:04 AM UK-Grandad--Clive Dunn.

Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: 37!ws on September 21, 2008, 08:24:56 PM Well, when my wife was born (on Carl Wilson's 25th birthday), "Family Affair" by Sly & The Family Stone was #1.
However, when I was born, "Rock Me Gently" by Andy Kim was the #1 song. My wife loves to remind me that she had a much cooler #1 hit. Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Music Machine on September 22, 2008, 01:57:31 PM June 20th, 1982:
Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Spiritinthesky on October 10, 2008, 09:25:06 AM On the day Barack Obama (August 4, 1961) was born Bobby Lewis was at #1 with 'Tossin’ And Turnin’
Obama shares his birthday with Louis Armstrong who had the 1968 UK No.1 single 'What A Wonderful World.' On the day Sarah Palin was born, The Beatles were at #1 with 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'. And on that day (Feb 11th 1964), The Beatles made their live concert debut in the US at the Washington Coliseum. Over 350 police surrounded the stage to keep the 8,000 plus screaming fans in control. One police officer who found the noise so loud, stuck a bullet in each ear as ear plugs. Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: donald on October 10, 2008, 10:40:45 AM Thomas Edison saying "Mary Had a Little Lamb" Actually for me it was U.S. "Nature Boy" by Nat King Cole For BB's with birthdates within the time parameter offered by this website: Carl Wilson: U.S. "Old Buttermilk Sky" by Kay Kyser David Marks U.S. " You Call Everybody Darlin' " by Al Trace I too recall listening to that Edison tune as a child. Actually for me it was that Pattti Page Wedding song. And I never did find out the price of that doggie in the window. How bout that Johnny Ray? Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Aegir on October 10, 2008, 08:09:42 PM One police officer who found the noise so loud, stuck a bullet in each ear as ear plugs. At first I thought you meant he shot himself, hahaha.Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Alex on October 10, 2008, 10:51:31 PM On my birth date, 9/20/1985:

On my birthday the number one song in the US was : "Good Vibrations" Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Alan Smith on July 23, 2012, 02:28:38 AM That is even more interesting than sharing birthday with misicians. So what we have on Nov. 7, 1989: UK - All Around The World by Lisa Stansfield US - When I See You Smile by Bad English AUS - The Mood by Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers CA - Sowing the Seeds of Love by Tears For Fears Don't know any of those songs but I'll check them just for fun. Maybe one of them is good even. Though if consider it's 80s-almost 90s I strongly doubt. Sowing the seeds is nifty - "Throw out the style, bring back the jam", but do not pursue song 3, you have been warned. I'm matched with; My Sweet Lord by George Harrison (US) Song of Joy by Miguel Rios (AUS) I hear you knockin' by Dave Edmunds (UK) Title: Re: What was #1 on the day you were born Post by: Malc on July 23, 2012, 05:25:38 AM Well...
