Day of Birth–Theme from S.W.A.T.
18th–Power of Love Celine Dion (aaagghhh!)
21st–Wannabe by Spice Girls

I have NEVER heard of this song:
Fly, Robin Fly by Silver Convention was the number one song in the US on my birthdate.
Sixteenth Birthday: Set Adrift On Memory Bliss - PM Dawn
Eighteenth birthday: I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) - Meatloaf This is my life’s theme song? ~laughs~ Good one!
Marriage Date: I’ll Make Love To You - Boyz II Men (The fact that I said eww when I saw this sums up my marriage very nicely.)
Twenty-First Birthday: No Diggity - Blackstreet feat Dr Dre
Divorce Date: Smooth - Santana
Wow, that’s just ugly.
I was born in the Year of Elton John.
I started to say nuh-uh, I do!
Then I read your list. :eek:
“Walk Like A Man” by The Four Seasons.
<Gallagher>Walk like a man,
Talk like a man,
sings it like a woman!</Gallagher>
Hey sweetfreak I’ve got the same one for my birthday. I’m April 13, how 'bout you?
I challenge anyone to come up with a better song for the day of their birth than Joy to the World.
My birthday didn’t make the chart, either.
So now that I’ve been reminded once again about my advanced age, tell me why this is supposed to be “fun.”
Hmmm.
“I’m Sorry”, by John Denver. My mother is a big John Denver fan, too. I wonder what this says…
Mine is May 13.
I agree, can’t get much better than Joy to the World.
I don’t think my parents were thinking those words at my birth, though.
More like Don’t Fear the Reaper. :eek:
You’re absolutely right. Joy to the World is practically impossible to beat.
My picks for coming close though would be:
Love Child - The Supremes (1968)
My Ding-A-Ling - Chuck Berry (1972) …for the guys…
You Are the Sunshine of My Life - Stevie Wonder (1973)
The Most Beautiful Girl - Charlie Rich (1973) …for the ladies, of course…
Best of my Love - The Eagles (1975)
Hugs out to anyone born during the first half of October, 1973.
21 September 1971:
US - “Go Away Little Girl” by Donnie Osmond
UK - “Hey Girl Don’t Bother Me” by The Tams
How disturbing! :eek:
Apparently, songs hadn’t been invented when I was born. But my “life’s theme song” is *Blue Velvet *by Bobby Vinton.
Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the Wild Frontier… :eek:
I already knew that “Hey Jude” was #1 on my birthday. That should apply to a lot of folks, since it was top of the chart for about 10 weeks in '68.
#1 on my 18th birthday was “When I Think Of You” by Janet Jackson. Not bad.
As many have demonstrated in this thread, it could have been much worse.
Aside from the fact that we damn near have the same birthday, we have a lot in common. The ones we share I don’t recognize, either.
One’s that differ
1st BD is Don’t Break the Heart that Loves You Connie Frances
21st BD Billie Jean Michael Jackson (Great, and me with 5 kids.)
30th BD Someday Mariah Carey eh?
40th BD Angel Shaggy (I think I know this one!)
I think remember the Bee Gees singing the word “tragedy”, but that is all I remember of the song.
So, if you don’t remember most of these “life event” songs, does that prove you a geek, or cooly counterculture?
I’m older than the charts, but on my 18th Birthday the #1 song was Sugar Sugar , by the Archies. :rolleyes:
On the day of my birth…“Young Love” by Tab Hunter (both US and UK)
On my 18th…oh my…“Have You Never Been Mellow” by Olivia Newton John.
Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
Ooh, I got a GOOD song!
I was actually born in Germany, not the US. I finally managed to find some German pop charts for past years. On Dec 9, 1970, the #1 song in Germany was…
<drumroll>
“Paranoid” by Black Sabbath.
:eek:
Birthday: “Hey Jude” The Beatles
10th BD: “Reunited” Peaches & Herb
18th BD: “With or Without You” U2
21st BD: “Vogue” Madonna
30th BD: UGH!!! “Livin La Vida Loca” Ricky Martin
Birth:
US: “Bad Blood” by Neal Sedaka
UK: “Hold Me Close” by David Essex
(can’t place either)
Age 18:
US: “Dreamlover” by Mariah Carey
