You’d think this would be easy.

**First Bought** Probably _Jam Up and Jelly Tight_ by Tommy Roe  
but it could have been _Atlantis_ by Donovan, _Aquarius_ by The 5th Dimension or _Hair_ by the Cowsills. I know it was a 45, it cost a quarter, and I had to buy one of those plastic thingies to put in the hole.  
**Feel like dancing** _In-da-godda-da-vida_ by Iron Butterfly or anything by George Abdo except _Sahirrnee_  
**Reminds me of childhood** I am really giving away my age here (like I didn’t already). _Walk Right In_ by I have no idea.  
**Love song** _The Rain Song_ Led Zeppelin  
**Funeral** \* Out of the Blue\* by Julian Casablancas, because I probably am going to hell and I’m sure there will be at least a few who want to piss on my casket.  
**Me** _You Don’t Own Me_ by Lesley Gore

but one I can NOT stay still for is **Lets Face the Music and Dance - Frank Sinatra**

3. takes me back to my childhood - anything by **The Partridge Family**
