Wyld Card 5 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Bill Withers - Lean on Me was my first favorite song as a small child, & it grew on me. Every time I heard it, it would bring back memories from before, it still holds that sentiment to this day. I wasn?t sure what precise emotion I was identifying with in the song, or if it was mostly in passive liking. Joni Please Don?t Cry by Conway Twitty taught me a lot about love, before I even started school, my emotions later became clustered when I realized he was singing to his own daughter. John Lennon?s Imagine would be another one that I started listening to at a very early age, it immediately opened the doors for peace & change. Reflections by the Supremes was always uplifting, the same with Righteous Brothers? Unchained Melody, even at an early age, it developed more meaning during the later stages of my youth, when I began associated it with love making, & Aquarius by Hair, which had a reflecting harmony that targeted me right away, but that one I quickly outgrew as I moved on.

edna 6 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 "My little runnaway", Del Shannon. It was sounding on the merry-go-round I used to go to when I was 2 or 3. At 6 I fell in love with the Beatles "Twist and Shout" and first record I bought for me (daddy gave me the money...) was "Paint it Black", Stones, back in...67? Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Joe 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Ling Ting Tong by The Five Keys. Loved this great doo wop tune from the first time my big brother played the 45 in 1955. "Tai semoca boom dai yay, tai semoca boom!" I was 9 and had heard and liked hundreds of songs but this one really grabbed me. I played it over and over and over..... Mom hated it, though she thought it was funny. Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny 2 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Ummm....probably some song by Andy Gibb, since I was crazy for him. Most likely "Shadow Dancing". What can I say? I was young..... Link to post Share on other sites
Danielj 1 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 And It Stoned Me-Van the man Morrison I always had it in my head as a 4-5 year old dad would sometimes play it at dinner time. Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Ummm....probably some song by Andy Gibb, since I was crazy for him. Most likely "Shadow Dancing". What can I say? I was young..... Oh, Jenny, me too. I loved him so much. All that hair and teeth. I think I was more partial to "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." Just hearing the first few lines sends me into pre-teen hysteria... "For so long You and me been finding each other for so long And the feeling that I feel for you is more than strong, girl..." Just a reminder, boys and girls... DON'T DO CRACK (OR COKE)! Link to post Share on other sites
miamisammy29 4 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot I used to listen to the 45 over and over trying to figure out every single word. The song was over 8 minutes long and had about 600 verses. I loved that song...still do. It's a classic. I guess it must have been the history of the whole thing. I also liked "American Pie" when I was a really young tyke. I kinda did the same thing with this song, but I can't remember it as well. I was only about four or five.

miamisammy29 4 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 And, Peaches, quoting Andy Gibb and telling kids not to do crack in the same breath....I don't know; that just seems a bit hypocritical. You MUST have been on crack when you were jamming to young Andy's music....there can be no other explanation. Link to post Share on other sites
XXX 4 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 It's a tie between "Don't Answer Me" by The Alan Parson's Project or "Major Tom (I'm Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling Link to post Share on other sites
miamisammy29 4 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 MUSICAL INTERLUDE: Standing there alone, the ship is waiting. All systems are go. "Are you sure?" Control is not convinced, but the computer has the evidence. No need to abort. The countdown starts. Watching in a trance, the crew is certain. Nothing left to chance, all is working. Trying to relax up in the capsule "Send me up a drink." jokes Major Tom. The count goes on. 4, 3, 2, 1 Earth below us drifting, falling. Floating weightless calling, calling home.

windy1 0 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Rocky Racoon, by the Beatles, do you believe that? Very out of character for me. It switched to American Pie though. Like Sammy, I played it over and over trying to learn the words. It actually took years, but I can sing the entire thing from memory. Good thing you can't hear me! Link to post Share on other sites

audioslave 0 Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 The Zombies : Time of the Season What's your name? (What's your name?) Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy? He rich?) Is he rich like me? and The Box Tops - The Letter That's when I first started listening to the radio at night - when I was supposed to be getting to sleep so I could get up for school Then one night I heard the Velvet Underground - Rock and Roll - and I thought they wrote it about me. Ahh - to be young and rock! Oh - and big tuna - I share your love for Bill Whithers - Ain't no Sunshine - that seems like it was from around the same time. But it's hard to remember things clearly from that long ago. Link to post Share on other sites
