What songs remind you of your childhood? Paisley's "Up up and away" thread just reminded me of that song that seemed to be everywhere on British TV in the 70's, usually performed by an all female group such as The Ladybirds ... "up up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon ..."
I think it advertised Slimcea Bread. And earlier tonight I was reading a book and the song "Lily The Pink" was mentioned. I have a vague memory of the song from very early childhood, being played on the radio. Why don't we take a collective trip down memory lane? | |

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? Here I am, you lucky people!

"Escapade", Janet Jackson. I remember going to see Disney on Ice with my kindergarten class, and as my mom was getting me dressed, she was singing this to me but substituted "Icecapade" for "Escapade".
"Tiny Bubbles", Don Ho. My my used to sing this to me before bedtime because I liked it (I was an odd child; I liked Don Ho?), but she censored it a bit. "Tiny bubbles in the milk" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Anything New Kids on the Block The Elephant Show Theme Song ...Skidda ma-rinky dinky dink, skidda ma-rinky do, I looove youuu!

"Conjunction Junction"...
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses. Conjunction Junction, how's that function? I got "and", "but", and "or", They'll get you pretty far. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. He cut loose the sandbags, But the balloon wouldn't go any higher. Let's go up to the mountains, Or down to the sea. You should always say "thank you", Or at least say "please". Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up cars and making 'em function. Conjunction Junction, how's that function? I like tying up words and phrases and clauses. Conjunction Junction, watch that function. I'm going to get you there if you're very careful. | |

My sixth birthday party was at a pizza parlor (pizza having always been my favorite food) which had an arcade and a jukebox and one of the songs on the jukebox was Right Said Fred "I'm Too Sexy". I remember all us little 6 to 10 year olds dancing around to it. Must have been so funny to watch.
Also being 8 at summer camp and entering a talent contest with my two best friends Loretta and Jenny. Our performance was that we did the running man and jumped around to the boom box playing Boys II Men "MotownPhilly" wearing the matching neon green bicycle shorts my grandmother helped us make. | |

"Interjection"
When Reginald was home with flu, uh-huh-huh, The doctor knew just what to do-hoo. He cured the infection With one small injection While Reginald uttered some interjections.. Hey! That smarts! Ouch! That hurts! Yow! That's not fair givin' a guy a shot down there! Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh-huh-huh Geraldo knew he'd woo her ye-het He showed his affection Despite her objections And Geraldine hollered some interjections... Well! You've got some nerve! Oh! I've never been so insulted in all my life! Hey! You're kinda cute! So when you're happy (Hurray!) Oor sad (Aw!) Or frightened (Eeeek!) Or mad (Rats!) Or excited (Wow!) Or glad (Hey!) An interjection starts a sentence right. The game was tied at seven all, uh-huh-huh, When Franklin found he had the ba-hall. He made a connection In the other direction, And the crowd starting shouting out interjections... Aw! You threw the wrong way! Darn! You just lost the game! Hurray! I'm for the other team! So when you're happy (Hurray!) Or sad (Aw!) Or frightened (Eeeek!) Or mad (Rats!) Or excited (Wow!) Or glad (Hey!) An interjection starts a sentence right. Interjections show excitement... Or emotion... Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah... YEA! Darn! That's the end! | |
