What song 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 number one on the day we were born.

Go to http://www.thisdayinmusic.com
(Go to 'Birthday #1' at the top of the site).

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

I totally thought this was going to be a spam thread with the original poster having his songbe Spirit in the Sky...haha!
Kind of cool. I'm off to listen to Chicago now...

Also, this Chicago song was #1 for the week of my birthday here in Canada as well, with Eye of the Tiger the week before and Jack and Diane by JCM the week after.
