Have you ever done this?

Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born.

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

I've got it made on the Madonna front - August 16 is also her birthday, and she was born in 1958. If you flip the last two digits, you get 1985. ANNNNNNNND August 16, 1985 was the day she got married to Sean Penn. :lol:

And crap, I totally forgot about The Wedding Singer! I loved that movie - I need to watch that soon. :lol:

Get this... my sister was born on August 16... and her two children were born on the exact same dates as Madonna's!

Okay, now THAT is big-time freaky stuff!! The kids - right down to the birth year?

There was some great music in 1979, but not "Cars" and "My Sharona". :lol: You deserved better for your birthdate.

Both of those were great songs especially cars. I think she did quite well with those 2.
