Per the suggestion of this NPR article about "What does your birth date song say about you?" I checked.
I went to This Day in Music and put in my birth date.
My song?
Sunshine on My Shoulders by John Denver.
True enough. Sunshine on my shoulders DOES make me happy and I didn't really appreciate it until I came to Colorado. And I do love John Denver. His songs are sometimes a little simplistic, but dammit, sometimes I want the world to be a little bit simplistic and a lot more positive!
(No, this is NOT silly... it was on NPR!)

"I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones (US List).
Which seems a bit odd, since I don't really care for the Stones, nor do I like this song.
I like the UK selection better - "Mr. Tambourine Man" by The Byrds.
Me
US: The Love You Save - The Jackson 5
Meh. Whatever.
UK: In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry
Have I ever even heard this song?
Michael
US: Annie’s Song - John Denver
UK: Rock Your Baby - George McCrae
Neither Grandmom nor my Dad can play, however my Mom's songs...
US: Old Buttermilk Sky - Kay Kyser
UK: Frank Sinatra - Five Minutes More
On the American charts, a song I've never heard of, but with a music-related title, which is interesting because on the UK charts my song is "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing."
But I'll take the Aussie charts: "Imagine," by John Lennon. I'll take that in a heartbeat.
Me:
US - Hey! Baby - Bruce Channel
UK - Rock-A-Hula Baby / Can’t Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley
Aussie - Multipication - Bobby Darin
JR:
US - You You You - Ames Brothers
UK - Look At That Girl - Guy Mitchell
Aussie - um, it doesn't go back that far
US: Good Lovin’ - The Young Rascals
UK: You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield
AUS: Hitch Hiker - Bobby & Laurie
I don't know the Australian song, but I love the other two.
I got a one-hit wonder on the US chart (Freddy Fender) but effin' Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man on the UK chart. Awesome.
That quite literally made me LOL, bel. :D
