    i had a star wars theme song 45 that i used to race around the house to, arms out like i was an x-wing. that and "slip slidin' away by paul simon. i remember listening to a tape of that non-stop for a month maybe on my first tape player (i was 6 or 7)... i was all about the soft-rock.

    like many little kids in the 80s, my brother and I would absolutely flip out to:
    'bad to the bone' by George Thorogood

    another one would be stuff from ZZ-Top's 'Deguello' LP:
    'cheap sunglasses', 'Im bad, Im nationwide', 'I thank you' etc.

    Hey,



    "Mary, Don't You Weep"-The Swan Silvertones. I was around 3 or 4 years old. Pops played this song CONSTANTLY!!! Oddly enough, the more biblically astute I became, I realized that this song actually makes no sense whatsoever. The song mixes biblical events over 1,000 years apart, in particular, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the freeing of the Israelites from enslavement by the Pharoah in Egypt.



    Peace,

    Damn, all excellent songs! Respect.


    The first song I really loved was Jackson Browne's "Doctor My Eyes." I still love it, too.

    my first musical memory was when I was 3 or so...whenever the song "the entertainer" would come on the radio my mom and I would dance in the kitchen.

    This was big at my household too.

    At a piano recital, any kid rocking 'The Entertainer'(or better known as 'The Sting' with kids at the time cuz of the flick it came from) was seen as some kind of virtuoso genius. At least in Stevens Point WI.

    Right. As far as commercial songs go, Joplin's "The Entertainer" and "Pine Apple Rag" off The Sting OST were on constant play when I was 5-6. That was really the only secular album my parents owned. That and (Jesus - I'll admit it) the cassette tape of "Hooked on Classics" (one AND two) for those extra-crazy indoor sugar-rush trampoline sessions.

    But minor-key hymns like "Rock of Ages" were my lullabies in the cradle. The Swan Silvertones and the like will always evoke a deep-seated emotional response with me.

    my mom and dad used to play stevie wonders 'i just called', i would always wait for the part when he goes "NO HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN" and i'd scream it like crazy. the ridiculous thing is only 20 years later would i rediscover wonder and find out that he had so many classic songs, unlike that one

    I think it was either:

    Jefferson Starship - Sarah
    A-ha - Take On Me
    or...

    Beach Boys - Kokomo


    LOL

    Dude...I remember loving Kokomo too! It takes a real man to admit that.

    First I can remember was anything off of Thriller. I was about 4 and I just remember doing back spins on the floor when one of his videos was on TV.
    im guilty of kokomo too!
