What’s the first song that comes to mind when you think about your childhood?

This one came to my mind:

If You’re Happy and You Know It

I’ve been playing different versions of Amazing Grace on my keyboard and now it’s stuck in my head. Guess I better start playing something else. Although it is a beautiful song.

The theme from the Captain Kangaroo show. I didn't really like or watch the show but I thought the music was cheerful and things being cheerful was a fantasy of mine. (My dad and sister were both rageaholics so constant yelling and furniture, etc. being thrown.)

I had this record when I was a wee one. It was a yellow vinyl 45 record.

How to pick just one?
My mother had a beautiful singing voice and often sang as she did housework. She had a habit of singing Irish songs, tho she was Hungarian, because my Dad was Irish/Welsh. Probably the one i heard earliest in life was '"Tura lura lura, T'is an Irish Lullaby". She had a Mimic's ear and would sing it in an Irish brogue.

But the one that in many ways defined not only my childhood but my teens was "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

There are many but I think I am safe to say that anyone who grew up in Arizona in the 60's and 70's would pick this song.
