What is your favourite song from your childhood?

I just heard mine today for the first time in over – oh - must be at least 20 years or more!
It made me feel so happy! Reminded me of stress free times before ever being disillusioned or disappointed as an adult. Lovely!!!

(Sings)

“Sugar (na na na na na na)
Oh honey honey (na na na na na na)
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you….â€

It was probably "Feed the Birds", sung by Julie Andrews in "Mary Poppins", followed by "Ghost Riders in the Sky", by Johnny Cash. I never listen to country music, but as a little kid, I liked "Wichita Lineman", and "Honey". I think they were sung by Glenn Campbell (or was one of them from Bobby Goldsboro? - I seem to remember that name).

I don't know who sang it and I have not heard it for years, but it is about a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater.

My favorite song as a child was You are my sunshine. I have tapes of me singing it when I was 3 and everyone says I used to sing it all the time.

"You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy when skys are gray
you'll never know dear
how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away"

I liked to listen to the Lion King music. I guess I wasn't that young when it came out.

My favorite childhood song would have to be...

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

Mine was...

Row row row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily
merrily, merrily
life is but a dream

especially in first and second grade when the teacher would have us singing this in duets.

My favorite childhood movie was The Wizard of Oz so I love the song "Somewhere over the Rainbow". I just love that movie & all the songs in it! Another favorite movie with funny songs that I love is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". I just love those Umpaloompas (sp?)!

Jcat, Bobby Goldboro sang "Honey".

Tarav, "Purple People Eater" was by Sheb Wooley.

My favorite was "I Want to Hold Your Hand", by the Beatles.

Nowadays, my all-time favorite song is "As Time Goes By", from Casablanca.

"You must remember this,
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh...."

"Play it, Sam. You played it for her, you can play it for me."

My mom tells me I used to bounce up and down so hard in my highchair as a toddler that it appeared I was dancing, whenever Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" came on the radio. I still love the song.

I still remember the first 45's I ever got, along with my first "real" record player when I was 8 years old: "Sky High" by Jigsaw, "Fox on the Run" by Sweet and "Fly Robin FLy" by Silver Convention. That would have been 1975!

Well Umm no one would have heard of this aprt from Kellye... but a little song at the end of my fave all time soap, Shortland street...

"..Is it you or is it me? I'm a sailor lost as see I think a change is what I need.. Shortland Street" I loved that and still do!

It was recorded by the Archies, and I distinctly remember it being the #2 song for the year in the 1969 Top 100 Countdown on WABC - AM in New York.

In those days before we listened to the radio, I used to like a little winter song we sang in music class:

Zip zip your jacket
Under your chin
Don't you let that cold wind in.

Keep it zipped all through the town
When you get home
Zip your zipper down.

Zip zip up
Zip zip down
Zzzzzziiiippp up!
Zzzzzziiiippp down!

hey kitkatz...thats my favorite song too! my grandma sang that to me when she put me to bed at night

"You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy when skys are gray
you'll never know dear
how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away"

My parents took us all over the country when we were kids and we camped along the way (never had much money). We'd hike thru National or State parks and dad would whistle the music to the Bridge Over the River Kwai. We acted embarrased, but would start marching in step to his whistling. I miss my dad!

Loved anything related to Disneyland; but I would say "Dreams Come True" (from Cinderella) and M.I.C.K.E.Y (Mickey Mouse Club theme song)

Mine was on an 8track that my parents bought for my brother and I and it was called the rainbow connection sung by Kermit and Miss Piggy. I even Have a ring tone on my cell phone of it

Laughter in the rain by Neil Sedaka.
