For me it was Blondie's "Heart of Glass" in the US and Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" in the UK.
But (and I find this arbitrary yet sociologically fascinating), the site tells people born before 1952 and 1955, when pop charts began in Britain and the US, respectively, to try for their "life's theme song which is the No.1 on your 18th birthday."
So apparently my life's theme song would be...
- according to American sales: "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," Puff Daddy (featuring Mase)
- according to British sales: "I Believe I Can Fly," R Kelly

Ok, I got "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor and "Tragedy" by the Bee Gees for my birthday, and "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and "Who do you think you are / Mama" by the Spice Girls for my 18th. I don't like that at all.
Day I was born songs:
"Upside Down" Diana Ross
"Don't Stand So Close to Me" The Police
18th Birthday
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" Aerosmith
"I Want you Back" Melanie B feat. Missy Elliot.
I have to go hit up limewire now. Upside down is at least a good song, but Aerosmith?! Am I going to die of angst or something?
Day I was born:
Name of the Game - ABBA (UK)
You Light Up My Life - Debby Boone (US)
18th Birthday:
I Believe / Up On The Roof - Robson & Jerome (UK)
Exhale (Shoop Shoop) - Whitney Houston (US)
Wow. That's really miserable.
Day I was born:
Shadow Dancing -- Andy Gibb
Theme Song:
Wannabe -- Spice Girls
You're Making Me High -- Toni Braxton.
your songs were cooler. also, Wannabe apparently was popular for like two years if torgo and i both got it.
My "Wannabe" was in the U.S. Maybe Christina's was in Britain.
But I had to go to my 7th birthday for a good song- "Sara" by Starship. I also found Janet Jackson's "Escapade" on my 11th.
Then there was a whole bunch of signs indicating the #1 songs tend to be just lousy songs. Other years were: "Informer" by Snow, "The Sign" by Ace of Base, "Lost In Your Eyes" by Debbie Gibson, "Everything I Own" by Boy George ... ok, too much time on this.
I still think the 18th b-day thing is so arbitrary and strange.
um...informer was art...i learned to sing it phonetically.
