What was playing on the radio when you were born?
Thought this was kind of cool. What was number one when you entered the world?

I think this was posted a year or so ago...I have one of those strange ones where my song was #1 in both the US and the UK...but by different artists.
The Poor People Of Paris - Winifred Atwell (UK)
The Poor People Of Paris - Les Baxter (USA)

I know exactly what was on the radio the minute I was born; the Grey Cup. Unfortunately Calgary lost to Montreal. 
I lost 5 bucks on that game.

I just clicked on "Birthday #1" and got in just fine, Lanny.
By the way... kinda funny what was playing when I was born:
"We can work it out" by The Beatles.
Hmmmm, Mom never said it was a tough delivery!
LMAO!! They indicate your "life theme song" is the one on your 18th birthday.
Mine was... "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes.
Guess being single most of my life has a cause (that is NOT CP related!!!)

Yeah I remember doing this before:

Theme Songs:
UK: I Owe You Nothing - Bros

OK, that Jackson creep is showing up a little too much for my liking.
