    Have you ever done this?

    Some people say our life is influenced by what song was #1 on the day you were born.

    My number #1's are:
    'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon in the US
    'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Little Jimmy Osmond in the UK
    'Ben' by Michael Jackson in Australia

    See which songs you get

    Hell's teeth!

    I got Imagine - John Lennon of Plastic Ono Band fame (where is he now - anyone know?) in the UK and The Tide Is High by Blondie in the US.

    As far as I'm aware, in Australia 'Down Under' by Men At Work has been at number 1 since time immemorial, so I didn't bother to check.

    timnuoa - I think it's actually illegal to be that young, on the basis that it makes me feel really, really bad.
  • apocketfullofseedsapocketfullofseeds
    My brother (who writes the other half of the blog) is 16, admittedly he is 2 months older than timnuoa
  • SongbyToadSongbyToad

    I wish Linda and Marcy and Tim CP were around here more - they made me feel less like an old stager.
  • kobestarrkobestarr
