Subtract 9 from 10, carry the 4…
Hmmm…February 14, 1980 would have been the day I was conceived. Me and who else I wonder? The most popular day to conceive. Anyway, the day I was conceived, “Rock With You” by Michael Jackson was number one on the charts in the U.S. Ooohh, how I loathe that song.

I see. February 14, 1980 would have been the day I was conceived. Me and who else I wonder? The most popular day to conceive. Anyway, the day I was conceived, “Rock With You” by Michael Jackson was number one on the charts in the U.S. Ooohh, how I loathe that song.
the U.S. No.1 on the 30th January 1962 was…
Peppermint Twist by Joey Dee and the Starliters
I think I’m the oldest guy on this board.
Sorry about that double post. I try to change things and the whole thing blows up in my face.
In the U.S., it was “One More Night” by Phil Collins.
In the U.K., it was “We Are The World” by USA For Africa.
September 4, 1966
Sunshine Superman by Donovan - never heard of it.
Eleanor Rigby/Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. Yellow Submarine is cool, but Eleanor Rigby is a real depressing song, don’t ya think?
Yes, I’m feeling real old now…
Oh lord, mine is “Staying Alive” by the BeeGees on 2/12/78
Disco? It had to be Disco, didn’t it. :rolleyes:
7/10/70
US: The Love You Save by The Jackson 5
UK: In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry
I like the UK’s choice a lot better. I was really hoping for Bridge Over Troubled Water in the US.
Ivorybill:
Interesting idea.
9/24/69 (No, it’s not exactly 9 months, but…um, don’t ask)
US: Sugar Sugar by The Archies
UK: Bad Moon Rising by CCR (there’s a joke waiting to be made here; I know it)
You should share my birthday then, Strainger 
Bah! No fair! Now, if I had been born on time (i.e. 6/24/70), the #1 song would’ve been The Long and Winding Road by The Beatles. I would’ve been at least as happy with that one.
7/13/59
U.S. Lonely Boy by Paul Anka
U.K. Dream Lover by Bobby Darin
Neither are on my personal Top Ten, but they are both very fitting at the moment!
Peace,
TN*hippie
Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blue by Domenico Modugno
What? Who? This totally sucks!
US birth song: Island Love, by Elton John
Never heard of it.
UK birth song: Space Oddity, by David Bowie
This made me feel really cool for a minute until I realized how pathetic that was. Dammit, I still feel kind of special. Cut it out!
And for life theme song:
US: I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) by Meatloaf. Eww!
UK: ditto. Double eww! (W!)?
–Yersinia
September 5, 1976:
Dancing Queen by ABBA (UK)
You Should Be Dancing by The Bee Gees (US)
September 5, 1994:
Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet (UK)
I’ll Make Love To You by Boyz II Men (US)
September 5 1976 - 9 months = December 5, 1975:
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (UK)
Fly, Robin, Fly by Silver Convention (US)
No wonder I’m so uncool, looking at my birth and life songs. It’s just strange that I’m not more of a dancer.
Ken Dodd had a #1 song? The Ken Dodd? The one with the teeth? Bizarre. Although I suppose if Benny Hill could have one, why not Ken Dodd?
The song is so much better if you substitute “Marty Feldman” for “Bette Davis”
See how much nicer it is?
I don’t think so. There’re several who’ve got me beat by a decade or more.
March 30th 1980…The #1 song of the time in the US was “Another Brick in the Wall” by Pink Floyed (fitting since that is basically what I grew up on by my parents…go figure huh)
In the UK the #1 song of the time was “Going Underground/Dreams of Children” by the Jams
25th November 1979
UK : Dr. Hook - When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman
US : Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer - No More Tears (Enough is Enough)
It was, uh, The Chipmunk Song by The Chipmunks.
