What was #1 on the day you were born

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

So OP, do you think that any of those songs relate to you and your life?

I really hope that our lives aren't influenced by the songs that were number one when we were born since mine is "I (Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones. My husband fares better with "Reach for the Stars/Climb Every Mountain" by Shirley Bassey. (And he does like to climb mountains...)

I went with the US #1 for me and the UK for hubby since that's where we were born.

The number one song when our 16 year old son was born is "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot. I don't know what to make of that! He does have a girlfriend, but her butt isn't particularly big.

OP, we must have almost the same birth date because mine was the same.

UK and US - Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree - Dawn

AUS - Top Of The World - The Carpenters

this sucks.

USA, Too Young - Nat King Cole

1 Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand
2 Beatles She Loves You
3 Louis Armstrong Hello Dolly
4 Roy Orbison Pretty Woman
5 Beach Boys I Get Around
6 Dean Martin Everybody Loves Somebody
7 Mary Wells My Guy
8 Gale Garnett We'll Sing In The Sunshine
9 J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers Last Kiss
10 Supremes Where Did Our Love Go

1 Beatles I Want To Hold Your Hand
2 Beatles She Loves You

That's when all the madness and Beatlemania started, and I bought my first single.

Its only a bit of fun!

On the day Barack Obama was born it was Tossin’ And Turnin’ by Bobby Lewis

On my day of birth it was:
Britain: Back Home - England World Cup Squad (I hate group sports)
US: American Woman - Guess Who (I am not an American)
Australia: Let It Be - The Beatles (I can never do that)

Interesting link.

For my day of birth:
(USA, I'm American) Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon and Garfunkel. (nice, mellow song).
(UK) Wand'rin' Star, by Marvin Lee. I don't know this song.
(AUS) Whole Lotta Love, by Led Zeppelin. I don't know the song, but the group was popular when I was in elementary school.

Mine are the same as mojcek's.

UK- Heart Of Glass - Blondie

US & AUS - Da Ya Think I’m Sexy - Rod Stewart

The only influence I can see is that I'm reminded to try the Blondie song next time I'm up for karaoke.

Silence is Golden - The Tremelos (UK)
Somethin' Stupid - Nancy & Frank Sinatra (USA)
This Is My Song - Petula Clark and This Is My Song - Harry Secombe, (both versions of the song were at No.1). (Bloody Aussies, confusing things)

Checking the tea leaves, this makes me a schizophrenic, thick mute.
Hey, it works!
