What's Your (Likely) Embarassing Birthday Song?

Before we start having fun if you are looking for info regargind the BOIL WATER ORDER IN TOFINO click HERE.

Now, on to the silliness. About once a year this floats around the social media world. The idea is that you go on the Internets and figure out what the #1 song was on your birthday according to Billboard.  Once that information is attained you find the song on YouTube and post it on your Facebook page and everyone has a good laugh.  Well, we're gonna do one better.  Share you "birth song with us here at Long Beach Radio and I'll use the songs to program the morning show next week.  You can share by posting a comment below this post, emailing me geoff@longbeachradio.ca, posting on our Facebook page, or tweeting it at us.

To get things rolling I've found mine and Elby's;  So here we are, the #1 song according to Billboard on September 11th, 1981;


For Elby I just had to use the #1 for the year 1972 since we don't know exactly when she was born/ manufactured;


We've had quite a few "Birthday Number 1" songs come in, mostly from Twitter. Here are a few of them; From one of our great local hosts Joe Bob (@JayBe) we get this treat;

Local Photographer Marnie Recker (@marnierecker) came into the world to the soundtrack of 'Grease' from Frankie Valli


Listener Kristina Klotz (@xtinaklotz) has a pretty cool one with Billie Jean

Samantha, another listener on Twitter (@samxmalone) has a pretty good one from The Police
