Default The Number 1 Song On Your 14th Birthday Defines Your Life

I thought this might make a fun thread.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/64...14th-birthday/

Quote:
CAN you remember what tune was number one on your 14th birthday?

It's a pretty tall order, but apparently the tune could potentially "define your entire life", according to a theory doing the rounds on Twitter.

While admittedly pretty odd, the suggestion has become increasingly popular since it was put forward by Twitter user Swank0cean.

Their tweet - “I’ve just read that apparently the song that was number 1 on your 14th birthday defines your life" - has since gone viral.

It has received over 4,939 comments and 558 retweets.

So, it would seem our lives are in the hands of pop culture and musical history.
I don't think this works for me. The number one song on my 14th birthday in the US was Stevie Wonder's I Just Called to Say I Love You (which is probably the worst song in Stevie Wonder's canon), and in Canada, it was The Warrior by Scandal. Both songs are about unrequited love, I think, so they may have pertained to my life when I was 14 but certainly do not define my life now.

Number one song on my 14th birthday was Sean Paul's Get Busy. Very little of my life (read: none) has involved clubbing or sexy dancing or random sex encounters at said clubs. Which sort of seems to be what the lyrics are about?

Seems to not really work, haha.

Madonna - Like a Prayer.



Not really life defining, but I don't particularly care of Pepsi.

I knew you were young but not even grade school age? I’m not sure if I should be impressed with your communication skills as a 4 year old or appalled at what negligent parents your must have for letting their preschooler post on CP all day.

Right 14th birthday. I apparently didn’t read the thread title.

I thought it was #1 song when you were born.
