What’s the first song you remember?

[BlueThursday]

Inspired by me misreading another thread!

what’s the first song you remember?

mine was Relax by Frankie. I was only about 18 months but loved it for being so catchy

Sandie Shaw - Puppet on a string

Seems this was out a good ten years before I was born but i remember hearing it and singing along in my parents car. My parents raised me on Dolly Parton, Johnny Nash, Rod Stewart and Tammy Wynett.

A very decent childhood!

Showaddywaddy Under the moon of love 🤣
I was obsessed with it aged 5

Simon and Garfunkel El Condor Pasa

And I love you so (don Maclean). My father used to sing it to us as a lullaby 🥹

Happy birthday to you?

Puff the magic dragon. I'm old.

@TheBottomsOfMyTrousersAreRolled your parents are good people.

also love the idea of a toddler singing along to "relax don't do it"

Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle of the Road when I was 3. Dad was in the Navy and we were stationed at Malta. I'd request this song over and over again on the jukebox.

Withering Heights by Kate Bush. Closely followed by Brown Girl In the Ring by Boney M. I was about two and a half or three

Omg I was just about to write Wuthering Heights

I LOVED it.

I thought it was fab I honestly remember it being in the radio so must have been pre ban although my parents were given a VCR as a wedding present in 82 so maybe it was Old Grey Whistle Test on repeat!

clearly I just danced along to a good tune obvlivious 🤣

Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce.

I don't think I can recall my very first song, although I grew up with parents who played LPs constantly - quite a lot of country music and folk music.

I do clearly remember buying my first single though - "This Ole House" by Skakin Stevens. Not sure what age I would have been, but I saved up 3 weeks' pocket money to buy it!

Itsy bitsy, tiny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini, about 1960 ish

groove is in the heart was the first single I bought

Morningtown Ride.

Shotgun wedding...Roy c.
I'd probably been about 5.

Dont recall actual first song but it must have been Kylie Minogue’s late 80’s songs. My big sis loved her and I’ve been told one of my first words was ‘Kyla’.

Seasons in the Sun (1974) Feckin miserable it was too😆

The two that stick out are Little Town Flirt Del Shannon and The wonder of you Elvis Presley , the first was released before I was born so my mum must have liked Del Shannon the other was a few years after my birth . I still like The Wonder of You although I’m not a big Elvis fan in general

Days by Kirsty McColl. I think I was around 3

Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep by Middle of the Road, I can remember singing it at infant school.

Loads of 70s songs were cut your wrists material.
