I'm ok with my answer -

[DOUBLEPOST=1423178314,1423178276][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I found @Dave's:

Ehhhh... I guess it could be worse.

Not necessarily my thing, but I can think of worse things.

I think mine is Sledgehammer. I looked at it a while ago, but don't remember if that was mine or my buddy Mk's.

I always hope it is different. It never is.

Worse? That song's awesome!

Hang on Sloopy?



Also, screw you, Nick!!

I'm on my phone so no video to go along with this post because it will kill my data.

But I know from looking it up years ago that it's "Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles.

Edit: back home and ready to dance.
The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian:

...okay. As a lord of chaos I should've expected the most illogical outcome, and yet it still weirded me out a tad.

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he was my birthday song
Jojo left his home in Tuscon, AZ
And we heard him say, "So long!"

...or something like that.

Hey, it's my ringtone!

I'm very happy with this result.

And now for a REVERSE age joke, because he's like the pup of the forums:

I bet this is @Yoshimickster's song:

Not terrible.

Seriously. Yoshi calls himself a "lord of chaos," and it sounds in my head like Veigar protesting how evil he is, STOP LAUGHING.

I want to see @Grytpipe-Thynne do this.

I find the what song were you conceived to song WAY more disturbing for me.

Imagine that, but a slightly lower pitch. Combined with my face, its even more confuzzling.

Ha! I got the same one when I did that! It's unlikely, though, since my parents were only mildly into New Wave.

I always thought it was weird that there was a song telling Snoopy the dog to hang on. Now that I know it's sloopy I feel that raises even more questions.

I don't put much stock in the "night you were conceived" thing because it's not exact... I know my mother always said I was overdue when I was born - I was supposed to be a christmas baby. When I finally got evicted, I was 9 pounds 8 ounces

But here's what billboard thinks my parents were humpin' to.



... I could buy that.

I'd say it really depends on the range at which the song was #1. Unless you were 2 months premature like my husband was. [DOUBLEPOST=1423190912,1423190532][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't even know the songs that were number one the day my kids were conceived and born. /old

Everything was groovy when I was born...

Given the average age of folks around here, I'm not really surprised with all the disco, funk, soul, etc...



But jesus christ some of these answers make me feel old. I seriously didn't know that CheckeredHat is a wee little baby.

I was born far enough into the 80s to get a true 80s classic.

Moonglow by Benny Goodman. Thanks Dave, you have just made a happy man feel old.

*sigh* It's always either that, or that annoying Christmas song.

The website said that was the song I was conceived to.

One up on everyone:


(I'll have to fix when I get on my PC.)

The song that was being recorded the day I was born.

Because I can be incredibly stupid at times. (Note to self: don't delete the "&feature=player_detailpage" part if you're just setting up YouTube videos as links.)

http://en.musicplayon.com/play?v=478997 <- weird URL because apparently Prince is anal about taking his music down from YouTube.

Prince works very, very hard to manage his image.

OK, so apparently the coolness of the song does correlate with the coolness of the person born that day.
Anyone want to guess what was #1 on @Docseverin's birthday?

I don't know Doc's age, but it would be really funny it if were either


Or


(Cause the whole "jumping out of planes" thing.)

True, but I'm trying to find out what song would be the most "pants spontaneously drop"-cool, and neither of them is that awesome

Eerrgghhhh... you got this idea stuck in my brain, and I just read through 7 different "50 Sexiest Songs of All Time". Not so much the Doc part, but what WOULD be considered THE "pants-drop cool" song. My conclusion is there isn't one universal answer; it depends on how it's used. Back in college, I was briefly seeing a guy who did a striptease* to Prince's "Kiss" for me. I can't properly describe the way he did it, but it was both hilarious and sexy. And so was the rest of our evening.


(*I should mention this wasn't out of left field, which would have been awkward and/or creepy. It was part of a joking conversation we had had prior to that evening.)

Zack Morris' subliminal message tape is probably in the running.

It was Man Eater by Hall and Oats of all things

I have that album. H2O. Probably their best work.
