    What song was #1 on the day you were born.

    Have you ever done this?

    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

    UK: Star Trekkin' - The Firm --> never heard it?
    US & Aus: I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston

    Overall then not a great day for music.

    I don't know, but from the way I'm feeling reading some of these answers, I suspect it was probably a Gregorian chant.

    In other words, you kids are making feel like I'm Methuselah's only very slightly younger brother.

    Feeling. Old. Now.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    UK: It's A Sin - The Pet Shop Boys
    US: Alone - Heart
    AUS: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston

    How disappointing... Although looking at the UK number ones from 1987 there's not exactly a great choice.

    Just noticed I was a month away from having Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up!
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.
