Music and time

Day 3,063, 15:34 • Published in USA Canada

• by Ilene Dover

What a difference a few weeks makes! For some reason, I'm super excited to have passed 100 subscribers. No scripts, no under the table deals. (Possibly) all people who want to know what I have to say.

To say thank you, and to remind myself that 200 is the next target, I've got 200 Q1 food for all the people brave enough to answer below.

I was going for a fairly generic and, frankly, boring article. But...this is much more fun!

So, do tell us all down below. What song topped the chart on the day you were born?

How on earth can anyone know that? Use this handy dandy little site.

A side note: it seems data goes back to 1946 or thereabouts. If there's no data for your 0th birthday, I'll settle for you writing "over the hill". 🙂

What about me? No, not the truly awful song

The day I was born, Eye of the Tiger topped the US charts. Yes, the original by Revolution and not the cover. If any of you can nail down my actual birthday (only one guess each please) I'll find some sort of prize for you.

So, don't be shy! Jump in!!!

Great to know which song topped the chart when I born 😃

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 15:47

But what was it? You must share! 🙂

Nice song. 🙂

Miss You, Rolling Stones

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 16:07

I miss you too Lany!

Taking a break from politics as usual? :--

LanyIsLost Day 3,063, 16:47

While I do miss you, Miss You is the name of my song. 🙂

Franklin Stone Day 3,063, 16:09

Nothing for 1951...hm...I have looked around and as far as I have seen Survivor wrote and recorded 'Eye of the Tiger'...I did find this...

https://youtu.be/ATJZv94qUoE

...but I will guess May 29, 1982...?

Baaawaaaahahaha...the #1 song January, 1951...wit for it..."The Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page...?

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 22:55

Classy! You won't find that on a soundtrack to Rocky! Ever thought about turning it back 9 months to see what your parents were dancing to when you were conceived? 😈

You're in the right area for my birthday, but it isn't 29 May.

Profeta ERIC Day 3,063, 16:38

V8 and new susc!! n.n

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 22:56

You need to share though!

Or is it something truly embarrassing, like CrazyFrog? 🙂

Baby Anna Day 3,063, 16:47

1984, Stevie Wonder had his first UK No.1 with 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'.

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 22:56

The best thing and Stevie Wonder songs is that nobody else can do them justice. It keeps the originals a precious thing.

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 22:57

And your Dad was listening to ??? on the drive to the hospital. 🙂

Shawtyl0w Day 3,064, 03:54

His wife telling him to hurry 😃 I'll look it up... *looks up the song* The song: Genesis - I can't dance

Selak Ivan Day 3,063, 17:12

Gettin Jiggy Wit It - Will Smith

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 23:01

Please accept my deepest condolences, that is a truly awful song. 😐

I sent you extra food. I hope it can make up for your loss.

Old man. 😛

Silas Soule Day 3,064, 04:59

Indeed. This is a big year for me... my Dad is turning 90! 🙂

Ilene Dover Day 3,064, 16:07

Happy birthday to your old man, when his day comes! 🙂

My grandfather is turning 80 in a few weeks. He won't live to 90 - far too much of a racist alcoholic. We love him anyway.

I am so very glad my speakers were turned off when that opened up...

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 23:06

You're only a baby! I remember dancing to that song as a teenager!! 😒

PilotPhil Day 3,064, 06:10

Ha ha first time I have been called a baby in a while! I am usually the oldest of the friends i hang out with...

Walter Hartwell White Day 3,063, 20:18

Freak Me - Silk \o/

Walter Hartwell White Day 3,063, 20:56

btw is it 31-Jul-1982 ?

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 23:08

You're allowed to watch Breaking Bad when you're that young?!

Not m'birthday although you're in the ballpark. The northern summer of '82 is about right, but Eye of the Tiger should have given that away already. 🙂

Walter Hartwell White Day 3,063, 23:11

wait..how old do you think I am? xD

Ilene Dover Day 3,063, 23:14

Silk came out with Freak Me in the early to mid 90s if I recall correctly. 92 or 93 probably.

Walter Hartwell White Day 3,064, 05:14

haha yeah I'm 93..I was watching breaking bad when it was still on 5th season and then marathon from the first 😛

Ilene Dover Day 3,064, 16:08

Cheeky! You need to share! Unless you're pre-'47... 😛

But I will post some song, i'm more concerned with the music in the moment of my death https://youtu.be/qR0K0mmm6R4

Sagittarius A Star Day 3,063, 23:42

or 4th september

Ilene Dover Day 3,064, 16:11

You need to pick just one... 🙂

I could care less what song is played at my funeral. I'll be dead and won't know a thing about it! Alice in Chains is cool though. Up there with the only song to make me smile at a funeral - Star Trekking across the universe.

J Seemore Day 3,064, 00:11

Starship, We built this city

Ilene Dover Day 3,064, 16:12

Nice. We must be about the same age then. Maybe I'm partial to 80s music... Probably shouldn't say that out loud.

Azazel Romanov Day 3,064, 01:03

BABY GOT BACK - SIR-MIX-A-LOT

Ilene Dover Day 3,064, 16:13

I'm so sorry... Thanks for getting it stuck in my head.

Janty F Day 3,064, 01:18

Ace of Base - The Sign

I had to go for Australian flag, because other songs were... not good at all (I tried UK first, but apparently, a song about Manchester United was popular back then 😃 )

Ilene Dover Day 3,064, 16:15

Hey, we got good taste! Ace of Base are cool. 🙂

Any tips about the less cool? For the early 90s it's probably Kylie Minogue or some other tragedy...

Janty F Day 3,064, 16:24

Well, on the day of my birth you certainly had a better taste than the rest of the world 😃 . Also, I knew the song from the radio, so that helped...

I'm not a music expert at all, so all of my favourite music would probably be "less cool". Also, I have nothing against Kylie Minogue at all... epsecially when she is signing that she will be "In my arms" or ůIn your eyes"... 😃
