This is kinda fun. Find out which song was number one the day you were born. Min was: UK Chart - Elvis Presley : Way down US Chart - Emotions - best of my love. Just for the fun of it I've tried it with some other Cascaders. First is Elliot, and funnily the UK song describes the moment he was born while the US song...well - 'nuff said ;D Mr. Elliot Kane February 30 - 1959 UK - Perry Como: Magic moments US - silhuettes - Get a job Sadly I couldn't find Mr. Steve Sellers song. The listing only dates back to 1952  Anyway, it's good fun. Try it www.thisdayinmusic.com/member/birthdayno1.php |

On May 25 1968 New Zealands Rugby team won 74 - 0 against Tasmania....truly an astonishing win. stats.allblacks.com/teamsheet.asp?MT_ID=1567 |

Cool. Mine for the US was Magic by Olivia Newton-John. I like her singing, and if I remember correctly, that's a good song. Very indicative of my life so far.
And for the UK - Winner Takes it All by Abba. Again, I like Abba, though I'm not familair with this particular song.
For fun, I tried the idea of what my life's theme song would be according to my 18th birthday:
For the US: The Boy is Mine by Brandy & Monica - never heard of it.
For the the UK: No Matter What by boyzone - uh-uh, don't know this one either.
Think I'll stick to what was #1 on my birthday. I'm pretty happy with those.
