Conceived to Billie Jean

Enter your birthday into Porktrack and it tells you which song was likely playing when your parents had sex to make you. The math is simple and horrible: nine months back from your date of birth, check the charts. I was apparently introduced to the world during "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, which I choose to read as auspicious rather than as a complex statement about paternity. Whether you can actually hear the result depends on where you’re sitting and how aggressively your local licensing body has decided to ruin your day.
