Find out your life theme song Enter your birth date, the site calculates what was the number one song on your 18th birthday (both U.S. and U.K. charts). I got "Rock Around the Clock".

It actually calculates the song on the day you were born, if you were born after 1952 (UK) or 1955 (US). To get the song for your 18th birthday you have to enter the day you would have turned 18.
My birth song was "Monday, Monday - Mama’s & Papa’s" in the US and "Pretty Flamingo - Manfred Mann" in the UK.
My life theme song (the one for my 18th birthday) was "Hello - Lionel Richie" in the US and "The Reflex - Duran Duran" in the UK. I prefer the UK one.

Birth song-- U.K.: "You To Me Are Everything" - The Real Thing; U.S.: "Love Hangover" - Diana Ross
Theme song-- U.K.: "Love Is All Around" - Wet Wet Wet; U.S.: "I Swear" - All-4-One
Hmm... the All-4-One song is the only one I actually recognize...

Birth Song: UK-"Dancing Queen" ABBA, US-"You should be dancing" the Bee Gees Theme song: U.K.- "Love Is All Around" - Wet Wet Wet, US - "I'll Make Love To You" - Boyz II Men Well this explains a lot. Obviously my lack of physical co-ordination on the dance floor is due to the fact it was sucked out of me and channeled to the disco on the day I was born. On the other hand, the theme songs do explain why I had so much fun  in my nineteenth year.

Birth Song - "You're no Good" - Linda Ronstadt (that explains the self-confidence issues I've had all my life)
"Life" Song - "I Will Always Love You" - Whitney Houston (ugh, even typing the name of the song makes me want to vomit)

Thanks LL! Didn't read the directions as usual! Should have noticed that Rock Around the Clock is a 50s song!
So my life theme song is US "Touch Me in the Morning" by Diana Ross (yucky song, but I am a morning person) or UK I'm the Leader of the Gang (I am) by Gary Glitter. Gary Glitter?? Oh those 70s - good riddance!
Holy Cats of Egypt!

Heart also did a pretty decent cover on one of their early albums - possibly Dog & Butterfly (I know LL will keep me right on that one).[/b]Only because its Heart.  It was actually on the Magazine album, April 1978. Dog and Butterfly came out in September of that same year.

Day of birth:
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" - The Platters (US) ... one of my all-time favorites, this particular cover
"The Day the Rains Came" - Jane Morgan (UK) ... never heard it
18th birthday:
"I Wish" - Stevie Wonder (US) ... never heard it
"Don't Give Up On Us" - David Soul (UK) ... always liked it, but it's ear candy
My real "life song," though? That's a secret.
