Wow, I don't see many Ray Stevens references. My brothers and I really enjoyed "the streak" growing up.
I always preferred the Mississippi squirrel revival.
That's such a good song for anyone that grew up in the south in the church traditions.
It's My Life by Bon Jovi
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!
Probably the original Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.
The Beach Boys - Kokomo
American Pie by Don McLean
I would listen to it on repeat for what seems like an entire era of my life. Could sing the whole thing at some point!
This is a weird one. It's a song called Please pass the biscuits. I couldn't even hum the melody for it, it's been so long since I heard it.
Before I was old enough to go to school, (early 80s) my brother would play our parents records, and my dad had a 45 of this biscuit song. The song is the story of this kid who really loves biscuits. His family makes biscuits every Sunday and he's looking forward to it, but nobody hears him when he asks for the biscuits, and he doesn't get any.
I thought it was a pretty funny song, so I played it often.
I really dug It's All Been Done but the Barenaked Ladies. Still do.
Mhmm, The Four Lads, that's why I specify. I'd wager the Johns' version is still the most popular though.
Stadium Arcadium -RHCP
First one I remember from when I was younger
"Faster than the Speed of Life" - Steppenwolf
The Twist - Chubby Checker.
First tape I ever bought for myself. Still love oldies to this day.
Beth - Kiss.
FWIW, I'm 23 and I believe this was 2004.
I was 5. Absolutely adored this weird stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkfpi2H8tOE

Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger
Used to have a little toy guitar and would strum it while wearing oversized sunglasses with my favorite cousin while the song was blaring. Adults loved it
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.

Love Missile F1-11, by Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
Gangsters Paradise - Coolio
I was given a bunch of CDs with random songs on them, and that was on there. It was the song I played on repeat the most.
Pink's whole Missundaztood album
La bamba, I had no idea what he was saying but it sounded good.
My current favorite is Naeveran by Marius Ziska and I have no idea what he is saying but it sounds good.
@[email protected] synchronicity II by the police or Panama by Van Halen, those are the first memories I have of songs I liked
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.
Mine was Wake me up before you go go by Wham!
Living on a Prayer. Lol don't judge I was 13 and full of hormones for JBJ.
I may or may not have ruined a Barney cassette by playing it way too much
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.
