#1 Song on your 16th Birthday | Pad Patter 1.5.22

[umyesh]

Haha! mine is Step by Step - NKOTB!

Mine is Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles lol! Not sure what to do with that one!

You two got fun ones! Step by Step is definitely more of an applicable yearly theme though haha

 

[umyesh]

The #1 song on my sixteenth birthday was Baby, Baby by Amy Grant. I am almost 48 so I know I won't be having a baby this year! Hoping for a new neice or nephew, if God blesses our family with a new baby- I am not quite ready to be a grandma yet (or, my kids aren't quite ready to be parents yet)

This theme is quite specific! It will be interesting to see if a baby comes to your family this year. I have one niece due with her first baby this year so I guess it’s a theme in my extended family.

 

[umyesh]

Papa Don't Preach by Madonna

Hmmmm . . .

Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer


... don't tell this theme idea to my husband or he may have some new ideas for 2023

Private Eyes by Daryl Hall and John Oates

"Private eyes, they're watching you. They see your every move"
Uh Oh

These three made me chuckle!

"I Will Always Love You" Whitney Houston

Oh fun! Mine is Beat It by Michael Jackson

I feel like these are doable themes…love and conquer!

1969 … #1 in the USA for the year, and on my birthday that year … Sugar, Sugar by The Archies.

So a new sweetheart? Or maybe lots of sweet treats?

Lots of sweet treats is my vote! That’s my theme every day!

The one I saw on Instagram was the #1 on your 15th birthday, which for me was "Mo Money Mo Problems" by Notorious B.I.G.

For my 16th birthday it was "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith

Bubble gum music!

And for those who are unfamiliar with the term bubble gum music:

Bubblegum pop was a subgenre of pop music and rock 'n' roll that rose to prominence in the late '60s and early '70s. Bubblegum pop songs hinged on upbeat melodies, simple lyrics with sing-along choruses, and danceable rhythms

I was a high schooler 1967-1971.

True Colors by Cyndi Lauper.

Not sure how it fits but it's a great song.

Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree from Tony Orlando and Dawn

Great song but it would be weird to me because it always makes me think of the yellow ribbons tied on trees for the Iranian hostages.

Honestly I had forgotten that. I still think of the song for its original meaning of a man coming home after being in away for several years and not knowing if the woman he loved would welcome him. I was in high school when the song came out and yellow ribbons popped up to welcome soldiers home from Viet Nam as well.

Yep that's the one I saw on Instagram too. I changed it to 16th since TLP's 16th birthday is this month. Your 16th song actually makes a good theme (if you like doing all the things...).

I don't know this song but yellow ribbons make me think of remembrance and friendship.

I don't know this song either but if 2023 is like a day in paradise that doesn't sound too bad.
