Let’s waste some time.

Do you know what was the number one song on your twenty-first birthday? Mine was, to my dismay, Complicated by Avril Lavigne (The Boy’s was Shakira!).

On the day I was born it was Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.

The number one on my eighteenth birthday was much better than those, and something I would have actually listened to at the time; Last Kiss by Pearl Jam.

To find the relevant hits for your memorable birthdays, or whenever, go here, be sure to come back & tell me if you’ve got some funny ones!

  1. My 21st song was "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal (which I remember dancing to).
    My birth songs were: Evie Pt 1 (Aus), Can't get enough of your love, babe (US) and Kung Fu Fighting (UK) - all of which I have nostalgic feelings for, not so much from my childhood (that was all Simon and Garfunkel and Bob Dylan), but from "retro nights" at the pub as a young lass.
    My husband's birth song - Mull of Kintyre!
    Thanks for the time waster, Vic!

  4. I think that I am a bit too scared to be reminded of my age. Avril Lavigne wont be in any of my charts, that's for sure. Oh, OK , I give in...

  5. Hilarious!
    I worked in nightclub at the time (while I was at uni) so it's quite appropriate that Here's Johnny by Hocus Pocus was number 1. I must have heard that song a million times that year ha ha.

  10. So cool, for me, the week i was born, Jive Talkin by the Bee Gees (yay, an Australian band!!) I learnt something, i always thought it was Jibe Talking, i'm quite famous for singing wrong lyrics & clearly, now i think about it, they're not jibing are they, they're funky walking, 1975 style!! On my husband's 21st - Bobby Brown married Whitney Houston, didn't that work out well??!! Love Posie
