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 was born it was Tossin’ And Turnin’ by Bobby Lewis

George W. Bush had The Gypsy by The Ink Spots

Bill Clinton - To Each His Own - Eddy Howard

Hillary Clinton - Near You - Francis Craig

On the day Heather Mills (ex Mrs McCartney) was born The Beatles were at #1 with Hello Goodbye!

See which songs you get

This day in Music

 

[RickER]

Oh hell! I was born Sept 16th of 63, and Blue Velvet was #1. Yea, the song used in the movie with the same name!

 

[JohnRice]

Hmmm.

The House of the Rising Sun, by The Animals. Also #1 in Australia.


And...

Have I the Right, by The Honeycombs in the UK (don't think I know that one)

"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life,
never make a pretty woman your wife.
Go for my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you!
(Repeat)A pretty woman makes her husband look small,
and very often causes his downfall;
as soon as he marries her she begins to start
to do the things that will break his heart.
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
you'll be happy for the rest of your life.
An ugly women will put peals on that,
she'll aways give you a piece of that!"

 

[drobbins]

I am familiar with that song. uuh.... Better not tell the wife about this one.

 

[Michael Warner]

"Hey Jude" -- No wonder I'm so screwed up.

 

[Joseph DeMartino]

On the day I was born, the number one song was...

The Chipmunk Song????

Oh, the humiliation. I may never live this down.

Regards,

Joe

 

[Chris Lockwood]

Who believes this? I've never heard this myth before.

 

[Jeff Gatie]

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones

Now that's creepy.

Wow, somebody's a Grumpy Gus this morning.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

The Supremes' "The Happening" was #1 in the US when I was born. And it's accurate: I'm truly a happening guy!

 

[Kevin Hewell]

"My Love" by Petula Clark.

 

[Bob McLaughlin]

11/23/67, US chart: "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Now that IS alarming.

 

[RickER]

He must of had a worse song than The Chipmunks!?

 

[Ruz-El]

"Billy, Don’t Be A Hero - Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods"

Explains everything I guess... never heard of this song.

 

[RickER]

Mmmm..sad Russ, i know the song well. You damn young'un!

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

I pulled "Till I waltz again with you" by Theresa Brewer, whoever she was. I've certainly never heard of that one.

More importantly...I pulled a birthdate newspaper once. In screaming headlines the front-page led with "STALIN IS DEAD".

For those that believe in reincarnation, this may explain some of my personality quirks.
