"You're so great" - blur
Thanks for reminding me of a simpler time. Before I learned how this turd of a planet rotates.
I liked rock sort of "meh" when I was a kid, being born in 1964 a lot of it was old hippie stuff that never clicked with me like Zeppelin.
Then one day I was playing D&D at a friend's house and he played Mongoloid by DEVO. Holy shit I lost my mind. There was music out there that actually spoke to me!
Band on the Run. Wings
I'm not l proud. It's Would I lie to you - Charles and Eddie
Don't judge me. I was a child. A year later House music ruled my life.
As someone who was inspired to ask this question after sitting in a coffee shop that was playing the Radio Disney songs of my youth there is no judgement here
Take On Me by A-Ha, when I was four I use to beg my mom to give my change for the jukebox every time we went to the local cafe, then proceed to dance about to it, week after week.
My mom used to run the local café. From time to time customers gave me a coin for the Juke Box. I couldn't read yet but B5 was Roy Orbison - You got it. Loved it.
Great song!
Rush - YYZ
The Beach Boys - Kokomo
Idk which was first, but it was either blue ba dee or walkin on the sun. Both were absolute bangers to me as a kid.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was really catchy to ~10 year old me.
Last Dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
Stadium Arcadium -RHCP
First one I remember from when I was younger
Baby got back by sir mixalot.
Made all the more favorite by the fact that I listened to it in the living room, on cassette tape, and my grandmother marched over, took it out, and chastised me for listening to such filth.
Then broke hte tape with her big wooden spoon that she had on the wall.
I like big spoons and I cannot lie
Other grandmothers can’t deny
That when the kid comes in with a tape full of sin
It gets *crushed*, want to grind up dust
Cause you heard that the MC cussed
On the wall that the spoon is sharin’
With the room where the speakers was blarin’
Oh darling, can’t let you hear that
Can’t even let you near that
My bridge club tried to warn me
But that tape you got made me so onery
Oh little munchkin
Do you wanna play connect four once again?
Well lookie, here lookie
Does my dearie want another cookie?
I’ve seen you napping
To hell with that rapping
This house is neat, sweet
So shoes off and then wipe your feet
I’m tired of MTV
Saying hip hop is for Gs
Take the average Gran-Gran and ask her that
Do the little ones need that rap?
So Hilda (hello!), Matilda (hello!) Have grandsons found that smut? (Heavens no!)
Tell them to sit down, put milk in a cup
I think Grandma’s still got those buttercups
“Mixtape” got whacked! (Heavy spoon and a plastic shell case)
“Mixtape” got whacked! (Heavy spoon and a plastic shell case)
…
Unfortunately Im out of time and have to go meet a friend.
I’d like to save this and finish it later but I’m too sleep deprived to remember.
At some point I need to work in the line:
Cause you know that Gran-Gran mix a lot
And got that spoon swing down
“Mixtape” got whacked!
I may or may not have ruined a Barney cassette by playing it way too much
Aliens Exist by Blink 182. I don't even know why because I didn't speak english or understand it at the time, I just remember my pure love for it. It's still one of my favourite songs and enema of the state of my favourite albums of all time.
Some Within Temptation song since my mom used to listen to them a lot. I still like metal/rock music but I'm more drawn to Vocaloid now. (which doesn't have songs of one specific genre so my playlist can get pretty messy sometimes)
I think I've always been drawn to good human vocals.
I remember using crappy earbuds and shedding a tear to Earth Song by Michael Jackson when I was a teenager. It's not my favourite song now, and I don't think I've ever cried to song after that, but music with good vocals can still definitely give me goose bumps. Anytime I listen to Jacob Collier's Moon River, or any video of his that has him conducting the entire concert audience to sing harmonically always give me the chills.
"The Freshman" The Verve Pipe
Living on a Prayer. Lol don't judge I was 13 and full of hormones for JBJ.
Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive"
Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. My sister had the cassette and I was so envious. I might've stolen it once or twice.
Probably the original Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.
Probably not my first favorite song ever but certainly the first I remember, Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder
Looking for Freedom by David Hasselhoff
I mean, it's sung by Knight Rider, what's not to like? I was listening to that record all the time. But Looking for Freedom is the only song I remember. I probably never listened to anything else on there.
Yes, I'm German. How did you know?
My first thought went to Germany when I read your song.
The German domain of your instance definitely was a hint
Our lady peace - Superman's dead, or collective soul - where the river flows, or weird als Amish paradise, or finally, whigfield - Saturday night. I'm not sure. I'm old now.
I have it on good authority it was Dancing in the dark by Springsteen
That's where Carlton's got his 'It's not unusual' dance from. Bruce Springsteen in Dancing in the dark.
