I found this interesting...
http://playback.fm/birthday-song
but somewhat disappointing at the result; I got that old feeling.

You got a winner, Bill.
Doug, to me, the one you got isn't old, it's timeless!

A little disappointing to me though I think I can roll with it better now that I'm older: Secret Love by Doris Day.
I wish I would have known this when I owned a retail nursery in the late '80s and '90s in Carmel Valley on the Monterey Peninsula - Doris Day was a good customer (as was her late son, producer and musician Terry Melcher).
It would have been fun to say to her, "Miss Day (as I always addressed her), one of your songs was number one on the day I was born!"
I looked up my wife's, I will show her the website this evening and she'll be pretty stoked: All Shook Up by Elvis.
She is big on Elvis. We have never been to Memphis and it's on the to do list.
As Paul Simon wrote:
I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland

Had you at hand the button to reveal the #1 song on the day you were likely conceived,
you could have given her more information than she may have wanted.

I wonder how much fun that would have been for Miss Day.

IÂ still had mostly brown hair at that point so she would have likely been okay with it and her son Terry was about a dozen years older than I, might have made her feel younger.
Number 1 song on the day I was possibly conceived? The Song from (the film) Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart) by Percy Faith and His Orchestra
Vocal by Felicia Sanders.
Syrupy, romantic, sweeping orchestral number...might have been a lot of kids conceived in the U.S. that week.

If the spammers can find some actual value in that information, more power to 'em...I guess.

Without looking, I was about to say that it would be nothing I'd ever buy, own or pirate...until I saw Skip's post. Les & Mary, sure, but almost nothing else from the Early Ike Administration Hit Parade.
...
Okay so I couldn't resist looking it up. Les & Mary hit again about 7 weeks later. I have never knowingly heard what was atop the charts the week I entered and the Rosenbergs exited. (Percy Faith???...talk about born under a bad sign.)
