Mine was “Magic” by Olivia Newton John. Sounds like it set the mood just fine.
All you need is love - Beatles
Forget number 1s, what was your mother’s maiden name?

Uptown funk bruno mars
Idk how you Rick Rolled me with a stupid meme, but well done.
Holly shit. I won the internet lottery! Or maybe you did? I dunno.
Thanks for the song recommendation, I found a banger with my date.

Don’t count back 9 months btw, count 40 weeks.
Bold of you to assume I can count that high. i’ve been 39 for I don’t know how many years
Say hi to Jack Benny!
why back 40 and not forward 12 weeks?
As long as you subtract one full year at the end I guess, yeah, maybe. But not every New Years Day occurs at a clean week break, so. 🤷♂️
I mean, we’re just getting close. It’s easier to ask people to count by month.
40 weeks is 10 months.
Then why do we say a pregnancy lasts 9 months?
I’m really asking. You’re right, it’s closer to 10.
I mean, if we’re narrowing it down to the week, I’m assuming the aim is to find out to which song your parents fucked you into existence. What was the vibe.
So the best bet is to count 40 weeks as that is more accurate than “9 months”. That’s all I’m saying. 😉👍
We’re rounding to make counting backwards easy so more people can easily participate.
This can’t be so difficult to do with weeks if you really want to be accurate. But if you don’t want to be accurate, of course there’s that option too. I’m only spreading awareness. 👍 I’m not trying to die on this hill or anything…
It’s about ease of use.
I can count on fingers how many months. Tales 10 seconds.
Count 40 weeks back from your birthday with no help in 10 seconds or less.
My guy, my tip is for people who want to be accurate. People like that usually have the means to figure out how to Google “date calculator”.
I get what you’re saying, but you and I have different target demographics I guess, and that’s fine, but let’s let that be the end of it, shall we? 😆 Like I said, this isn’t such a big deal to be having this deep of a discussion about it.
Don’t take my tip as a personal criticism against your character. It isn’t one.
For the record, I figured out which week is 40 weeks ahead of my birthday in about 20 seconds using just my head. It doesn’t have to be difficult.
That’s a lot of words to say you failed the 10 second ask, and that you can’t accept that this is a pointless shitpost.
Do your own 40 week and 9 month count, and I ask, are they the same song? Because mine is. That song was a #1 for 5 weeks. It covers both options, and that might well happen for most people.
It’s just a fun diversion.
Count 3 months forward and subtract a year :-).
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.
Happy birthday bro, sept '78 baby here too
Yikes, it wasn’t very glamorous for me, oh well
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?

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?
the fucks a comment
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.”
There a few people here who listed the record-holding 13 week #1 run of Boyz 2 Men in 1992.
A quarter of a year in which to guess.
Maybe it’s not as easy as you expect.
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.
The famous digit 10…
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.
I’m literally trashing on autocorrect and it desides I’m speaking German when I say get it.
From what I’m seeing, I think it was “I’ll Make Love To You” by Boyz II Men
