Spiritinthesky Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born. 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 http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthdayno1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you sat down and people watched for a few hours you could probably pick them out. They're the ones who listen to Eric and Kathy and watch Dancing with the Stars and other awful singing/dancing contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 "Jump"- Van Halen. Better than what I was expecting being born in the mid '80s, but still a pretty crappy song by an overrated band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) The Third Man Theme - Anton Karas I predate Rock 'n Roll. I'll tell ya one thing, looking over some of the songs on this list. A lot of really crappy songs somehow get to #1. Edited August 27, 2012 by BigEdWalsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
