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 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'.

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

If I tell you that, you'll figure out my birthday, you weasel. What's next? You want my SSN? How about my bank account numbers and my mother's maiden name?

They don't have anything for 9/9/83.

That being said, who believes that our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born? Did you make that up or is that in some way substantiated?

To quote Wikipedia, "(citation needed)".

gmku 10.15.2008 02:51 PM

Well, many people believe very strange things, so it's not a stretch to think "some people" might believe this. Some people believed there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, after all.

Spiritinthesky 10.15.2008 02:54 PM

Its only a bit of fun. How can anyone get any info from you?
And on the 9/9/83 it was Maniac by Michael Sembello in the US
And Red Red Wine by UB40 in the UK

gmku 10.15.2008 02:55 PM

I don't trust this guy.

What are you talking about? "Red Red Wine" was most certainly UB40.

Don't worry Noise redux.
It's a private joke.
