  • What song was #1 on the day you were born

    Bit of fun here...

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

    On the day Barack Obama (August 4, 1961) was born Bobby Lewis was at #1 with 'Tossin’ And Turnin’

    On the day Sarah Palin was born, The Beatles were at #1 with 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'.

    On the day John McCain was born (Aug 29th 1936), the pop charts hadn't been invented.*

    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

          On my day, I know the #1 song in the US very well, never heard of the British song or singer and the AU charts didn't exist yet....

              Some elevator music...

              The day I met my wife the number one song was Le Freak.
              Reddite igitur quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo
              (Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things which are God's)

                      In both America and Australia- Michael Jackson's "Black or White." Significance? Beyond me...

                      In the U.K. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, a little more my speed.:)

                        Charts did not exist in Australia until 1957/8 but the most popular/notorious/ scandalous song when I was born was Rock around the clock,,,Bill Haley and his Commets.

                        Second and less controversial was Hold your hand,,,Nat King Cole.

                        Don't actually rember listening to either of them on that day though but love listening to Bill Haley now:))

                        Cheers.
