I always thought it would be interesting to go back and see what songs were at the top of the charts when you entered the world. It might say something about the culture into which you were born, or the course of your life, or what your parents were listening to when you popped out, whatever. 
Unfortunately, I have no idea what was #1 when I was born But it's October 9, 1979, if anyone knows of a way to check 
Might be interesting to see...

Hey, it's better than "Candle In The Wind 97" (I always thought poor Elton and Bernie managed to make the first version which is decent but nothing to crow about significantly worse by trying to fit lyrics about Diana into the original song. And there was the fact that you couldn't escape it on the radio, no matter how much you try)
Hey...look at what was #1 on my 18th birthday...
(I Just) Died In Your Arms - Cutting Crew La Isla Bonita - Madonna
What crap theme songs....

I still got a blue pair of Kickers!
I went in Office the other day and there's loads of the buggers! Still got a soft spot for them! Remember Pods?
Pods were cooler than Kickers
Although they didnt last very long when you spent at least 2 hours a day kicking a tennis ball around a schoolyard :\ohwell:
