It was Happy Birthday.
Okay, if you mean on the radio or bought at the store, it would be…Yesterday by the Beatles. Hated it.
But I was seven. I Saw Her Standing There - first song to which I learned the words (other than mom’s Shrimp Boat song). Kiffa was a big Beatles fan and bought all their early albums. I still have them and occasionally play this song.
2 out of 3 aint bad, by Meatloaf
I must have been about 2. My sister used to play that song while I went asleep. I think thats what’s to blame for my current mental state.
btw, I love that song.
Besides the Czech song my mother used to sing to me: “Holka modra oka” or “Girl with the blue eyes”, I think its a toss up between “Puppy Love” by Donny Osmond or “No No Song” by Ringo Starr. (I also have fond childhood memories of “Rock the Boat” and “Take a Letter, Maria”.)
The first song I can remember is either “Blinded by the Light” or something by Captain & Tenille (a cover, I think). Those two were my two favorite songs when I was very young; I don’t recall which came first.
‘Jammin’ Me’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The video for it was the first thing I saw on MTV after we got our cable hooked up. I think I was six or seven at the time.
Wow! Memories! Some of these make me feel old, and some young.
Mine was Little Arrows, by Leafy Lee, in 1968. I was 8. I still like that song.
The song was, obviously, “One Toke Over the Line” by Brewer & Shipley. It was, also obviously, about sitting downtown in a railway station while one toke over the line. A state I remember, uh, poorly.
Sheesh, kids these days…
“The Thong Song” by Sisqo.
(I have a really bad memory.)
Mine was about a dog that drowned and nobody wanted to tell the mother. Does anyone know this song because it always made me cry as a child and I would LOVE to find it?
I remember when the teen girl next door would play “Me and You and A Dog Named Boo” on her radio, as she sat in our back yard.
I remember singing snippits of songs but had no idea what I was singing, primarily the opening lines of “Barbara Ann”. The first “adult” song I remember that I could actually understand, my sisters singing along to “Beep Beep” by the Playmates.
