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... 
US: 9 To 5 - Dolly Parton UK: Shaddap You Face - Joe Dolce Music Theatre
Theme song of your life (Number 1 on your 18th Birthday)
US: Angel Of Mine - Monica UK: Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz
All shit songs
The UK number one: Message In a Bottle (The Police)
US: Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (Michael Jackson) 
Horrifying 
And my theme song..."Candle In The Wind 97" by EJ 
Can't believe that's my "theme song"...let's see what was #1 when I turned 19 
UK: Long Haired Lover From Liverpool - Little Jimmy Osmond US: Me & Mrs Jones - Billy Paul

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 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:

Strange - that's two cup games we've won in under a week now, and there's been absolutely no banter following either - we are a bunch of good losers, aren't we? Just wait till the Blues beat the Reds tonight, then it'll all kick off... :)

Fuck it, just checked and it was actually Boney M - Rivers Of Babylon... And even worse: Gina Fucking G - Oh Ah Just A Little Bit Shit was number one on my eighteenth... Still it could be worse, have DM or the Cre ever had a number 1, as opposed to being a pile of number 2...?
