What song was #1 the day you were born?

Heartbreak Hotel for me.
Tonight’s The Night for my son.

UK: Give It Up by KC and the Sunshine Band
US: Every Breath You Take by **The Police[{b]

My life theme song is either Let’s Dance by Five or Fallin’ by Alicia Keyes.

Thanks Jack, I was having a hard time trying to decipher what these songs said about me.

Prince Charming by Adam And The Ants in the UK, and Endless Love by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross in the US.

On my 18th birthday:

Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 in the UK and Unpretty by TLC.

I feel … immensely cheated? I mean Eiffel 65? ADAM AND THE ANTS???

Okay, Tenth birthday, UK: (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams

Now I can stop abusing this thing’s search engine.

Ooh. More telling: June 6, 2000. My SDMB birthday.

Feels so Good by Sonique and Maria Maria by Santana, UK and US respectively.

Bllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

US and UK Charts

“Baby Love” - Supremes

The U.S. No.1 on the 13th May 1971 was… Joy to the World by
Three Dog Night. How very fitting :wink:

UK was Double Barrel by Dave And Ansil Collins. Never heard of it.

July 1 1964, the American chart#1 was “A World Without Love” by Peter and Gordon, the British chart #1 was “It’s Over” by Roy Orbison.

Subtly Ironic.

June 2, 1963:

US - “It’s My Party” by Leslie Gore

UK - “From Me to You” by the Beatles
I was kind of hoping they would be really obscure songs.

Jan. 24, 1969
I Heard it Through the Grapevine, Marvin Gaye (US)
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, Marmalade (UK)

My birthday:
US: The Beatles/Get Back
UK: Tommy Roe/Dizzy (huh?)

“theme song”:
US: U2/With or Without You
UK: Starship/Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now

I am so happy to be an American right now…

Since I’m compulsive, let’s check the rest of the family.

wife:
US b-day: The Doors/Hello, I Love You
UK b-day: Tommy James and the Shondells/Mony Mony
US “life”: Peter Cetera/The Glory of Love
UK “life”: Chris DeBurgh/Lady in Red

(And that’s slightly creepy, since she loves “Lady in Red,” and insisted it be played at our wedding. But she’s not British…)

child #1:
US: Will Smith/Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It
UK: Celine Dion/My Heart Will Go On

I weep for the world he is inheriting. I really do.

child #2:
US: Destiny’s Child/Independent Woman Part I
UK: Bob the Builder/Can You Fix It?

I’ve never even heard of the US #1, but the UK #1 is certainly appropriate…

I’m pretty sure she is the chick that sang “Bette Davis Eyes”
Boy this thread was one helluva bump.

Birthday in
US - Kansas City by Wilbert Harrison
UK - A Fool Such As I
and I Need Your Love Tonitght by Elvis Presley.

I didn’t recognize the songs from nine months prior that I would have been conceived to but I did notice that it fell right on my Dad’s birthday. :eek:

the U.S. No.1 on the 1st December 1961 was… Big Bad John by
Jimmy Dean

the U.K. No.1 on the 1st December 1961 was… Little Sister / His Latest Flame by
Elvis Presley

Wouldn’t Return To Sender suck?

the U.K. No.1 on the 30th August 1973 was… Young Love by
Donny Osmond

the U.S. No.1 was… Brother Louie by The Stories

I actually vaguely remember watching the donny and marie show

the U.S. No.1 on the 20th May 1980 was… Call Me by
Blondie

Wow! No wonder I love that song.

5/13/61 Runaway, by Del Shannon. Entirely satisfactory. If it was some sappy bubble gum song I wouldn’t be able to face you all.

I was born somewhere between Opus One and String of Pearls.

I was conceived when Casablanca was being filmed and I was born on the day that the movie For Whom the Bell Tolls
was released.

That makes me too old to remember exactly how old I am.

To make you feel better: neither is Chris DeBurgh. :smiley:
