Fourth of July week, 1966. According to the site, “Strangers in the Night” was the #1 song and some god-awful Jerry Lee Lewis movie was apparently the #1 movie that week. Another site says “Paperback Writer” by the Beatles was #1 on 7-4-66, so I’m gonna go with that. 😉 ---

I will say May 1, 1936 since it gave me April 27-May 5 and I was born on the exact day the doctor predicted. What was happening that day? My parents were screwing. ---

Balmy spring night in Los Angeles, 1956, Elvis on the radio, after a couple of rum and Cokes. Okay, I’m guessing about the rum and Cokes. ---

January 1942 shortly after my parents married … my father’s twin brother helped out. There is some doubt as to who actually fathered me. ---

Somewhere between November 7-15, 1955. Both of my parents are dead so I can’t ask them any questions. Dad was in the air force, so I don’t even know what state it might have been in. ---

During some big storm in July of 1976. The site was right about the song: my parents have told me so more than once. sigh. ---

I’ve never asked, nor will I, but, if I count back nine months, plus the two weeks I was late, you wind up at my father’s birthday. Which is kinda squicky in its own right. ---

I figure I was conceived around the time The Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. I was born almost exactly 9 months later. ---

March of 1985. Site says March 17-25, for a December 12 birthday, but I was a little over two weeks late, so probably closer to early March of 1985. ---

This is too hilarious. After saying I was probably conceived between August 19 - August 27, 1972 it then says the following: It’s possible your parents were listening to the following song while you were conceived (It was the #1 Song that week): “Alone Again (Naturally)” by Gilbert O’Sullivan It’s possible this movie got your parents in the mood to conceive you (It was the #1 Movie that week): Deliverance ---

I was born on 3rd October 1953. My mother’s EDC was 29th September, so I figure a Christmas/New Year conception. ---
