Music

I received an email the other day titled Name That Tune. I skipped over it and decided to read it tonight. Am I glad I did! It provided me a topic for this post. The object is to click on this link and then type in the name of the song and artist for the song that was Number One on the charts the day you were born. You can look up the songs for ANY date you want.

So, here are the songs that were popular on specific birthdays of mine.

Day I was born (year I tell my students): Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis Presley
Day I was born (actual birth year): Want Ads, The Honey Cone
Day My Uncle was born (we share a birthday): Maria Elena, Jimmy Dorsey
Day Michael J. Fox was born (same birthday): Travelin' Man, Ricky Nelson
My 16th birthday: Always, Atlantic Star
My 18th birthday/Graduation from HS (Yup, same day): Wind Beneath My Wings, Bette Midler
My 21st birthday: Jump, Kris Kross
My last birthday: Lollipop, Lil Wayne featuring Static Major

Would love to hear the songs from your birth years--or important dates....
