huKSer Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Summer doldrums are upon us. What song do you first remember listening to or singing to, just couldn't wait to hear again? And attach a youtube if you can find it. I'm not talking "It tsy bitsy Spider" but something on the radio, or pandora or iTunes (for the younger crowd), or hollowed out logs (for Knapp) For me: Downtown by Petula Clark Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 For my son: Waterfalls, by TLC I think it was the NFL connection that got him Quote Link to comment

Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The much older brother of one of my childhood friends put this on when we were hanging out, and it hit me. From the audio sampling to the free form instruments and the way it makes you feel like you are a traveler along with them. Man, good stuff. Quote Link to comment

sho Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I remember missing the world premier of this on MTV the night before, and everyone at school was talking about it. I sat and watched MTV for hours on end just to see this video. Did that for months. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was born in 1967 and I think this came out in 1972. My brothers are quite a bit older than me and always wanted to hang out with them. As you can imagine, there were times when they wanted me to "go home". I remember then this song came out and I adopted it as my theme song. I loved it. No....my name isn't Willy. 1 Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Don't lie, you all know you remembered Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Itsy, Bitsy Spider before anything else. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was born in '81 and this song came out in '85. It's maybe the first real tune I remember singing along to everytime I heard it when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment

I loved this song as a kid. Actually still have that exact same 45 of it and I might be one of the few people who has it in digital version on my iPod. Quote Link to comment

default_28 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The local station when I was a kid was a country station out of Ord, KNLV. So all we listened to was country music. I hated most of it, but I did like this song. Quote Link to comment
