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...

They show Shortland Street in the UK..... or at least they used to. I haven't seen it for ages. I had a giggle when I spotted a few of the actors in Lord of the Rings (Two Towers). One of the nurses was at Helms Deep. I just searched and it was the actress that played Ellen Crozier

My childhood song was more or less anything by 'the move'. My dad is a huge Roy Wood fan.

I've been to a desert with a horse with no name
It felt good to get out from the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
Cause there ain't no one there to give you no pain.

La la...la....la la la la...la la la...la....la.....

Ok, if you really want childhood favorites, I used to have a couple of albums by the Chipmunks. One included their famous Christmas song. (

We can hardly stand the wait; please Christmas don't be late.

) The second was the Chipmunks singing the Beatles!

jcat · Jan 23, 2004

Oh, wow, the Chipmunks! That brings back memories!

hockeygrrl75 · Jan 23, 2004

Mine was "You can ring my bell". My mom was really into the 70's (mind you I was a kid in the 80s) and I had a BeeGee's record player complete with a strobe light and a microphone. I also loved "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

It goes:
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

I had that tape too.

I loved it. I probably drove my parents mad playing it.

greycat2 · Jan 23, 2004

The first song I remember and that I still like listening to is "I Started a Joke" and the flip side of the single was "New York Mining Disaster 1941" by the Bee Gees. Of course both songs came out in 1967 before I was born but my dad was a big fan of their earlier music before they went to disco.

Of course there is the old standby of "She Loves You", "Yellow Submarine" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" .

Cat's in the Cradle was sung by Harry Chapin. I love his song Taxi.

This was from Girl Scouts Camp:

"Chocolate Chip Cookies,
I gotta have more,
You can bake them in the oven,
Or buy them at the store,
But whatever you do,
Have them waiting at the door,
And I'll love them forever more, boom boom boom!"

One Tin Soldier by Coven, another one hit wonder. It was from the "Billy Jack" movies. Does anyone else remember those?

I know what song you are talking about. My brother likes that too.

I have several songs I remember liking when I was little. But ones that I remember most are "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland, "Daddy's Hands (country music song by Holly Dunn - special song for me and my Daddy), "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and all songs from the movie Dirty Dancing. I used to dance all of the dances in the movie with the bedpost, and from what I've been told, I did them all correctly

. I do remember some of that, like doing the "lift" (the big move at the end). I don't know how many of you are familiar with it, but DO NOT do that move with the bedpost. It can be painful

For some strange reason i always loved listening to The Beach Boys when i was little...Kokamo was always my favorite song as a little girl.

arlyn · Apr 24, 2006

Time in a Bottle -Jim Croce
