[KenpoTess]

I have no clue why I just thought of this.. but I did so therefore you all have to think of it too

What songs come to mind from your childhood?

I remember 'I've been working on the Railroad , Found a Peanut, This ole Man, Course Ring around the Rosy, London Bridges, Tisket a Tasket

Your turn

All of the Schoolhouse Rock songs...


I could recite the Preamble to the constitution (or rather sing it)

You saw Hendrix live!? Wow, am I jealous.....I remember trying to get my dad to take me to see the Beatles at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Not a chance in **** that was going to happen, though!

I remember so many songs from different stages of my childhood (I'm in the latter stage at the moment) that there are too many to mention. But since I'm having a slow day and thinking about music, this thread has given an idea for
a new music-topic thread.

 

[FUZZYJ692000]

oh oh i like this thread artyon: ...tay um let's see
-hokie pokie
-you are my sunshine
-bringing home my baby bumblebee
-this land is my land
-it's raining it's raining
-hole in my bucket
...awwww kids songs there were a whole bunch more but i think some of them were already named

 

[Ceicei]

It's a Small, Small, Small World
A Yellow Daffodil
Rubber Ducky

There's probably more, but I do remember the tunes from the piano playing by my mother, not necessarily the words...

[Lisa]

You are my sunshine.

My mom sang it to me at night to put me to sleep... I did the same for my children.

very badly, I might add

 

[Melissa426]

The Unicorn song..."cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born, the loveliest of all was the unicorn."

Rise and Shine... "the Lord said to Noah, there's gonna be a floody, floody"

The goat song..."He loved that goat, indeed he did, he loved that goat, just like a kid."


I could go on and on and on..... !
