That song meme

"Many feel that the song that was the number 1 hit on the day you were born shapes the rest of your life. And that the song that was number one on your 18th birthday, is your "Life Theme""

Accordingly, then, here are my songs:

#1 when I was born:
UK: All Shook Up - Elvis Presley
US: Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear - Elvis Presley

These seem curiously apt.

#1 on my 18th
UK: Barbados - Typically Tropical
US: Jive Talkin’ - The Bee Gees

Neither of which mean anything to me

I must be looking at the wrong charts --

The year I was born, I find that the UK single was Telstar by the Tornadoes and the US no. 1 was The Monster Mash

WHen I was 18, it appears to have been Barbra Streisand's Woman in Love for both countries.


Please tell me I'm wrong ...
