What song was number one on the day you were born in your home country?

[MattJohnson]

I've never even heard of mine: I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me) by Aretha Franklin and George Michael. Just that pairing alone gives me the creeps, and makes me think my birth was the introduction of a great evil into the world.

Boy, am I glad I wasn't born a year earlier:  my thirteenth-birthday song would have been the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," a song that has made my skin crawl since the moment I first heard it.

I unironically love that song.

I'm a Bang-Shang-a-Lang man. Plus, I liked the Archies!

[gravy boat]

BIRTH:
"The Long and Winding Road/ For You Blue"

The Beatles

13:  Flashdance ... What a Feeling. 

I remember I really, really liked that video at 13.

When I was 13: Madonna - Music

I might have just lost.

My thirteenth birthday:

In Da Club by 50 Cent

Totally describes my life at that time.

I find it repellent.  At twelve, when it was released, I remember shrieking and having to plug my ears when it came on the radio.  There was just something about it that disgusted me.  I haven't heard it in years.  Probably my reaction to it now would be less violent, but I have no doubt it would be negative.

When I turned thirteen, the number one song was "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.  That song does not exactly sum up my teenage experience.

Me:

Birth : Down By the Lazy River by the Osmonds   (A Horse with No Name by America in USA)
13: Neutron Dance by the Pointer Sisters  (Can't Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon in USA)


My wife's:

Birth: Troglodyte by Jimmy Castor   (Lean on Me by Bill Withers in USA)
13: Everything She Wants by Wham!   (A View to a Kill by Duran Duran in USA)

Wow.

Black Velvet by Allanah Myles was #1 on my birthday. On my 13th it was In Da Club. I don't know either song.

Jingle Jangle is an awesome song.
