please don't answer this post in some way to reference an obscure group most of the population hasn't heard of. let me put it this way, i dont want to see your answer if you were beyond the age of 9 years old when the song came out. i want to know the first song that made you sing a long that wasn't a nursery rhyme. back when i was about 6 or 7 my parents had this electronic thing that was about the size of a walkman, with a big assed speaker, but all it did was play FM radio. this is the tune that made me thing of music as something that i WANTED to learn about, it was playing all the time. i'd also appreciate if you dropped your current age in relation to the song that u chose to give us a frame of reference.i'm 28, and this is my song.

Those 2 albums (tapes) got serious burn.
I fucking loved that movie, and still do.
couldn't find the video...
P.S. I like when they sued De La Soul... haha, the turtles changed the whole game!
" ... she was young and fresh .. "
Also Blondie, The Police and Jimmy Cliff got some serious spins.
real jams.
For me it was all about "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover", that was my shit.
Included are 3 versions:
Simon and Garfunkel
Checking for versions of 50 ways led
me to Steve Gadd and Ralph McDonald on Zildjian Day 83!
Holy crap, breaks for days...
I dig how they keep it simple, and don't go all Gene Krupa on it.
The first record that I heard on the radio that got me groovin' was Boogie Oogie Oogie. I was 4 when the track came out. It was one of the first 45s I ever bought as kid. Years later I learned it was produced by the Mizell Brothers along with a bunch of other tracks that I have liked over the years.
I'm 37 years old. This may sound weird, but the first song I like as a kid (at 5 years old) was "Do it 'Til Your Satisfied" by B.T. Express. It used to play on the radio and I'd dance around and sing (not knowing what it meant). I still have my original 45rpm from back then.
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
And by rocking out, I mean full-blown, jumping up and down on the bed, screaming along with the lyrics steez. I loved Glory Days off that album too, because, you know--I could really relate to wistfully reminiscing about my high school days as a six-year-old.
I'm told I was also really into the Moody Blues as a younger child, but I don't remember that. And I recall being fascinated by this album cover around that same period:
Men At Work - Down Under
28
I remember watching this on MTV at my puerto rican friend's house when i was in 1st or 2nd grade. (The only shows I watched at my house were Sesame St and Mr. Rogers)
I was blown away, and hooked on music ever since.
im born in 87. haha
im 33 and my mom said that whenever that song came on id dance around and try to sing along to the words. thats the earliest song i can remember really liking. that and "the bear went over the mountain".
Just throwing these in cause I didn't embed a clip of it before.
OOOH YEAHHHH... Man, I use to have a whole dance routine to this, bouncing off the cushions of my mom's sofa (which I put on the floor cause you know there was a fort that was set to be built.)
All these songs STILL got me grooving. Makes me really sad thinking about the music that's coming out today.
first concert was the 84 victory tour (age 2). had the glove.
recently heard a b-more rmx that actually made me smile.
I was already groovin to MJ and Prince but for some reason those songs really kicked off my FM radio obsession that lasted well into my teens
Figured I'd drop the Biz Version just for funsies!
