Ŵhich songs/records make you think of starting at primary school, or your very early school days ?

[TheTecknician]

A few of mine are:

Sailing by Rod Stewart
Hold Me Close by David Essex
Who Loves You by The Four Seasons
I Only Have Eyes For You by Art Garfunkel

Plus a load of dreary autumn-themed school hymns and children's songs, e.g. The Rainbow Song (red and yellow and pink and green etc) and something about speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log eating delicious bugs. Probably taken from the Apusskidu songbook.

Er, nothing.

I remember a song about boats from a schools radio programme, must be at least 35 years ago but I still sing it to my DC!

This old man, he played one........

'Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so'.
The Paul McCartney frog song also reminds me of that time.

I remember vaguely (I was 4 so it’s all a bit muddled in my memory) a some about ‘January brings the snow’ and also ‘I’ve got a body a very busy body ‘ I think I was zoned out most of the time and these songs make me feel weird to remember (I have autism and adhd) if I think about them I can smell the smell of the school hall and remember that I felt as if I wasn’t really there, yet cold and a bit unsure if that was where I lived as I didn’t get the concept of school !!

Yellow submarine
Eleanor Rigby
Various Chas and Dave tunes
I am sailing
Pack up your troubles
My old man ( said follow the van)
Streets of London

I started school in 1980 inner London

Slade

Plus the Meatball Song
"I had some spaghetti, all covered in cheese"

I have no memories whatsoever of popular music when I was 4. I wonder if I'm unusual. I only have a few fragments of memory from that time. I remember the name of a girl a spoke to (but she probably became a friend for a few years) and that we did painting on easels on my first day.

Hi ho silver lining used to be played at the end of every lunch and we’d dance around to it (this was an infant school in the 90s) Think it was a fitness thing? Presume there was other songs but that’s the only one I remember

Also Lucy in the sky
Octopus' garden

Little Willy by Sweet and Opla Dee, Opla Da by the Beatles

I don't remember songs to do with school, but pre school I remember "Down town" by Petula Clark, "Thank you very much for the Aintree Iron" (?The Scaffold) & Lily the Pink.
My dad used to play "Mud, mud, glorious mud".
I also associate "Two Little Boys" with my early years.

My reception teacher played Agadoo as our tidy up song, so that I guess

Cauliflowers Fluffy?

Karma Chameleon by Culture Club is the first song I remember from when I was five. We had conversations about whether Boy George was a boy or a girl.
Also Fame by the Kids from Fame. It was on TV and it was massive. We had a whole half term of ‘dancing’ to it in PE which basically involved repeatedly jumping off a gym horse and trying to do the splits in the air.

Sunday Girl by Blondie

Lots of hymns, too - first time I had encountered hymns as the child of agnostics.

A song called 'Come and join the celebration' that was sung in assembly whenever people had birthdays.

Honestly it was a long time ago and I don't link songs to those memories.

The songs from the musical Grease were all over the charts and I liked Grease then so if my 5 year old self was singing along to something back then it would be that.

Gawd 'morning has broken' had to sing it in assembly every-single-day.

kyle minogue the locamotion, especially for you , must have been played at every reception party lol.

Don't remember any tunes from infant school but Come on Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners - was played on the radio for what felt like MONTHS when I was about 7...
