Mine was “Magic” by Olivia Newton John. Sounds like it set the mood just fine.

    Mull of Kintyre by Wings

    My parents had 0 interest in any music that was not out of the West End though, so I doubt it was a factor.

    Is this another one of those data mining tricks? Nice try. I’m not giving a bunch of Internet strangers any hints what month & year I was born. What’s your next post gonna be? Correlate this list of quirky words with each digit of your social security number to find your band name?

    1. Symbiotic
    2. Patriotic
    3. Spasmodic
    4. Rapscallions
    5. Pescatarian
    6. Octogenarians
    7. Scapegoats
    8. Landsharks
    9. Slimeballs

    (zero.) Juggernaut

      No, that’s why this is an imperfect measure of a song that might have spent weeks at #1.

      I’ve already explained this like 5 times. Doesn’t anyone read comments?

        Yes I read it every 5 times you explained it. Yes it’s fun and relatively harmless, but I still guarantee there are some autistic people nearby who’d be up to the challenge of narrowing down all the possible birthdates of someone whose answer was “Tina Turner What’s Love GotToDoWithIt.”

          raises hand Me, I am that autistic person. I once printed out all of the developers for Zelda - Breath of the Wild, and then printed out the shrine names, and then figured out which shrine was named for which developer.

        I manually typed a zero. Auto-formatting must’ve changed it when I wasn’t looking. It was auto populating each number every time I hit enter, which was super annoying. I will edit it to phonetic zero now.

          Geht it, autocorrect can be incredibly annoying when you can’t turn it of. Wouldn’t have wondered if someone evidently tiled it like this though.

      It never was a real tweet. All fake, top to bottom.

      But I couldn’t figure out how to get people to think this was already a shitpost kind of thing without that. Just a screenshot of text? Boring.

      Yep that was my thought too. I still looked mine up, I’m just not posting it. Funny enough, it’s a song I never cared for, but I know my mom absolutely hates.

      Specifically chose this to avoid phishing options.

      #1 songs often spend weeks as #1. Mine spent 5 weeks up there. Call my bank and tell them my DOB is a range of 5-6 weeks and see how for you get. Especially since pregnancies are 40 weeks. I even know mine was 41. That’s not 9 months. Lots of rounding here intentionally to protect people.

      My first thought: “So your still in highschool.”

      Looked up release date. “Fuck I am old.”

      Mine was a Diana Ross Song I have never heard before.
