Songs that stick out in your childhood or significant memory?

Janet..Love will never do!!


background: My 15 yr old sister took my 9 yrd old azz to wembley arena to see JANET..Rhythm Nation 1814 concert, we had no tickets , my sissy planned on buying them at the box office but failed, so she spent the money on merchandise such as t shirts, medallion etc!

But check this, during our walk-abouts of the outskirts of wembley arena, we came across a gentlemen working for the concerrt duties,My sister gave a him a chain she wore for Janet, he took it from her and went off.. then mr Rene came down and saw me and my sis..

He (mr rene) gave us VIP passes (including front seatings at stage).he told us thanks and said janet loves the gift!!.i cant explain what happened after, it was the Bomb!!!!!

the track Love will never do came across my memory when it was playing live, the a drummer (from janet's team) giving me a drum stick, we later got it signed by janet..what a night..Oh and Momma was a going mucho loca on us..we came home around 2 am ..sunday night..Ouch!!! But it was worth it!!! I love my past1

I went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon
By the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair

The monkey he got drunk
And sat on the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed
And fell on his knees
And that was the end of the monk!

My uncle used to sing this to me and my sis...shake

And he knew all the correct words too. eek

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Some of them are just nonsense words written by Lewis Carroll. All I know is that it scared the shit out of us. boxed

Immature was big when I was younger. There weren't many teen R&B groups at the time so they had the market locked lol

The first song I ever remember as a child was "Candy Man" from Sammy Davis, Jr. Three Dog Night songs stick out from that time as well.

I was born in the 80s but apparently I loved this song as a toddler



My parents and older siblings recall me requesting or singing this

Childhood... just a whole lot of MJ songs mainly, but nothing really clearly linked to an event or specific memory.

More recently, 'Californication' takes me back to the first time I came to Thailand in 2000. It was playing everywhere at that time. Good memories! smile

Oh wait! I remember when I found a recorded cassette of the 'Songs In The Key Of Life' album by Stevie Wonder. I must've been about 8 or 9. I already liked Stevie's 60s stuff and had both Greatest Hits albums I & II from that era on tape, but I'd never heard any 70s Stevie. There was no tracklisting there, just the title on the cassette inlay. I listened in awe as these incredible songs came on, and the album seemed to last forever. I remember I cried with joy when I listened to 'Another Star'. lol

Lots of song that were popular in the mid-80s to early 90s remind me of family holidays to France. All stuff from Now tapes and Hits Tape 6 & 7. Singles from '3ft High and Rising', that god-awful 'Star Trekkin'' song lol , 'La Isla Bonita', Bruce Willis singing 'Under The Boardwalk'... hmmm, what else? Bobby Brown, Kon Kan, Mike & The Mechanics... probably about 300 hundred songs can come on now and it'll take me back to those 6 or 7 years that we went to France every year and played the tapes in the car. cloud9

Yeah, Bobby Brown always reminds me of when I was young, playing 8-bit Nintendo...Ghosts and Goblins specifically.
