Whoa! We have the same birthday, or very close! I'm July 13th, '83. What are you?
I'm not particularly thrilled about my "life song"

Polarpi, Dexy's Midnight Runners were a one-hit wonder in the US with "Come on Eileen".

ETA: Whoops, didn't see that xok85xo had already answered that question!

I'm 3 days older than you. Our life song is indeed not cute.
