What are some of the songs you remember that made you happy as a child ?
I am not looking for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star but rather radio or record songs.
I can start :
When I was a kid we all used to clean on Sunday afternoons and my step-dad would put on a record and blast it so everyone could here it while we worked. These are songs I will always love . . .
Easy Lionel Ritchie
Masquerade George Benson
Crocodile Rock Elton John
One in a Million Larry Graham
You’ve Got a Friend James Taylor
It’s odd, but after writing that list I see a pattern.
Oh! I’ll play!
Scarlet Ribbons
This Land Is Your Land by P,P,&M
Forever In Blue Jeans by Neil Diamond
Once I Built A Railroad
Black Slacks
Would You Like to Swing on a Star?
Wonderful memories! I love music!
My dad always used to play Johnny Mathis and sing along. I loved it.
Also:
Forever in Blue jeans
Surfin’ USA
California Girls
Pooh Corner
Bad Bad Leroy Brown
Workin’ at the Car Wash Blues!! I love that one!
All you need is love - c’maaaaauunn
Montego Bay - Booby Bloom
Wishin Well - Free
Changes - Bowie
Games people play - Joe South
Tokoloshe man - John Kongos
And one for long drives on hot sunny days with the window rolled down
White Bird - It’s a Beautiful Day
Big thumbs up there for the taste of, well, all of you so far especially for Easy
Even as a child, I hated the music my mother would play, for the most part. But, I did like to get into their old records that they never played anymore…I especially liked:
Rocket Man by Elton John
Hey Jude by the Beatles
Let it Be by the Beatles
I second Forever in Blue Jeans (just bought myself a big fat double CD, Neil Diamond’s Greatest Hits 1966-1992.)
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
Mishell, you got a lotta guts admitting, on this board, that you like Neil Diamond.
Just take my arm, here, and we’ll slip on out. Don’t make eye contact, just keep moving. What? No, we were just leaving…
