What song was number one on your date of birth? (http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/cont/choose.html)

Or you can pick your life song.
Mine is Don't you want me by The Huiman League. Anyone ever heard of it?

My life song is Maria Maria by Santana. I work with two Maria's at work. They gotta be the dumbest people I have ever worked with.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds covered by Elton John.

So I came into the world under the shroud of an ostrich feather-wearing performer singing a song referencing an acid trip. That sounds about right.

The U.S. number 1 on the 14th October 1967 was 'The Letter' by The Box Tops.

Heh, you can get a gauge for members by seeing what songs were popular. Having "Let It Be" be the song on your birthday pegs DOB about 1970 while having "Private Eyes" puts DOB around 1983 or about (which makes me feel old since I actually remember when it was popular, being the mid-70s baby I was).

I was born on 3/18/1976 - when the song entitled 'December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)' was released.

Turned 18 on 3/18/1994

Maggie May/Reason to Believe by Rod The Bod Stewart was No. 1 on my birthday.

Skydog, one of the most disturbing days of my life was when I learned in 8th grade science class that the human gestation period is 280 days. I did the math and realized my birthday is the 280th day of the year. Yikes! I'm too afraid to see what was No. 1 on New Year's Eve 1970.

On the bright side, my life song is apparently Miss You Much by Janet Jackson. Oh, the irony.
