The first song that comes to mind

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

This one came to my mind:

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

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.

For me, it has to be "Davey Crockett". on TV, the theme song was NOT sung by Fess Parker. It was a group called "Wellingtons".
And the song is a Disney product, so unless you pay all kind of fees you can't use it. Hopefully this link works

I threatened to run away from home unless i got a Davey Crockett coon skin cap, but I kept showing up for supper.

TV Theme Ivanhoe!

 

[MACKTEXAS]

As a child, I may first remember a version similar to this, of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

But this is my favorite adult version of the song:

 

[Timewise 60+]

Elvis singing "You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog"...
My teenage sister played this 45 rpm over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, Until I about died! Accordingly, I never liked Elvis!

 

[OldFeller]

I listened to this album everyday as a little kid. I was fascinated. So many stories and songs to have going in your head.
