Use these handy links:

And post the video of what was number 1 the week you were born. For extra bonus points also post the video from 9 months before you were born in order to speculate what your parents had on in the background when you were being banged out.

Birth:

Getting jiggy with it:

I'm not linking them for obvious reasons, but I was born to David Soul's "Don't Give up on us" and conceived, apparently, to "Save all your kisses for me". Though knowing my dad it was more likely Mantovani, James Last or Manhatten Transfer. Or the Carpenters. Or Kenny Rodgers.

Those really should be the other way around.

It would have been even cooler if you're parents were doing it to this when you were conceived. That would have been rather heroic!

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2011 16:42

Only if her dad chased a chicken around the garden and punched a side of beef for foreplay.

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2011 16:43

I think Mali and I could be of a similar age.

My dad chopped someone's thumb off with a hatchet because he stole his screwdriver. Foreplay probably involved knocking out the cow and slicing off a lump of steak to eat raw before he did the deed.

I am from awesome stock :metul:

Which is nice.

Malc · **Posted:** Wed Aug 24, 2011 22:27

If I was born when I was supposed to be, (and I was born in the week it got to number one) it would have been this:

but I was born 3 weeks early, so it was this shite:

omg that was bad...

9 months before would have been

Which is even worse, but in reality it was almost certainly some T. Rex

I will save you the youtube link as I was born when Cliff Richard We Don't Talk Anymore was number 1.

The children variant is a much better idea actually Malc, as there's just too much fucking shite 70s shit for our own birth dates.

I'll get AE Jnr done, would be nice if other BEEXers could do their children, then there's a chance we'll get the odd decent tune :DD

AE Jnr born:

Me and Mrs AE fucking like rabbits (we were as well, since it wasn't happening 'naturally' so Mrs AE was on some stuff to make her fertile and we were under doctor's orders to shag as much as possible, which is the kind of instruction I can get along with):

Well, one out of two ain't bad I suppose.

I knew this already, but I was born to the sterling sounds of "Tiger Feet" by Mud, and could have been conceived to the dulcet tones of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" by Dawn featuring Tony Orlando which, given my Mum's taste in music, is actually quite likely.

I'd also like to thank everyone in this thread for making me feel very, very old.

I could help you out here, Malc, by slightly trumping that information, but unfortanately I'm not going to....granddad

In other words, the charts hadn't been invented when you were born...

Funnily enough one of my earliest memories is listening to the charts on the radio while in the bath. I can even remember a few of the number ones.

Either a lot of you were born around the same time, or Kate Bush was at number one for a decade

Actually it was just over twelve and a half years, after taking over the number one spot from Bohemian Rhapsody, which was top for even longer. So much so that after the first few years the chart show cut it short and only played the first 40 minutes or so of it every week. So my dad says.
