**The First Record You Bought** (or, if the first record you bought was an album, a song from it)

1. Convoy - C.W. McCall
2. Gall in the Family Fare - Mad Magazine
3. Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting - Elton John

It might not have literally been the first, but it’s the earliest single I recall having and playing frequently.

6. Anything Goes – Harpers Bizarre

Brand new record, just hit the charts, right? So I brought it home and put it on the record player.  
All of a sudden here’s my mom coming into the room, singing the lyrics! Boggled my mind, until she dragged out an old 78-rom record from HER collection with the exact same song on it.  
Moral of story — there ain’t nuthin’ new under the sun!
