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

Sorry. The change from Tuesday to Sunday screwed up a lot of data. I had a similar experience the first time someone told me that Metal Guru didn't go to No.1 until May 21st (I was born on Chart Day) and that it 'should be' Amazing Grace by the Royal Scots Dragoons Band who whoever they were. (But it shouldn't be, it is T.Rex not least because I have a copy of that day's chart and the single itself, bought specifically because it was No.1 on my birthday by my dad who cares about such things.)
