I always associate that La Roux song with Call of Duty: MW2. The game was released later in 2009, and people used to create montages with the song lol.

Take me back to March 15, 2009

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is March 15, 2009, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter. St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. The song "Right Round" by Flo-Rida ft Ke$ha is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Race to Witch Mountain is at the top of the box office. Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "King of the Hill", "Grey's Anatomy", "Friday Night Lights", and "True Blood".

Meanwhile, in technology news, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet on their phones. This transition towards mobile Internet has been aided by the recent roll-out of faster 3G networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones. A growing social network called Facebook is beginning to steal users away from MySpace and Bebo. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are struggling to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.

A music genre called Dubstep has started to go mainstream. It's 2009, so the music charts are filled with artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Flo Rida, Taylor Swift and T.I. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Natasha Richardson, Jade Goody, Bea Arthur, and Farrah Fawcett would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", "Grand Theft Auto IV", "Saints Row 2", and "Fable II". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "LazyTown", "Curious George", and "Sonny with a Chance". Children are playing with toys such as the Xbox 360, Roboraptor, Kid-Tough Digital Camera, and Hannah Montana Malibu Beach House.
