Mine was Physical by Olivia Newton-John. I laughed so hard when I saw that…

In the year 2525. My wife hates that song. Ha!

Hers was Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot. She gets the better song, but I don’t know if I’ll tell her.

But I like yours too Marko. Ok, maybe the lyrics aren’t all that “Christian”, but “it has a nice beat and I you can dance to it.”

“If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you!”

I couldnt be more honored!

Mine was Hard to Say I’m Sorry by Chicago.

gypsies, tramps and thieves by cher…. this explains a lot. of course if you look at conception date at being 9 months (technically 40 weeks) then the song was “One Bad Apple” by the Osmonds

I’m screwed either way.

Riddle - Ooo, I like that. For me, my “conception” song was “Hey Jude” by the Beatles. I like that a lot better.

Comment by Jeff Moulton 10.25.07 @ 5:00 pm

“I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher - pretty appropriate!

Hey Mark I’m to going to go out on a limb here and take a guess without going to the site.

Hmmm… how about “if you want to be happy”. (5/20/63).

ed g — you were born may 20, 1963? dude, that’s four days, exactly, before me.

We can work it out by The Beatles Jan 6, 1966 I have gotten a lot of strange looks about my birthday through the years being 1 - 6 - 66

[…] MarkO points out where you can find out what was the number one song on the day you were born. I drew the Beatles’ Paperback Writer. I’m sure it’s a sign, but what could it mean…. ;^) […]
