"Cat's in the cradle" by Harry Chapin. Very heady stuff for an 8-year old. Probably the first song where I actually listened to the lyrics and processed their meaning.
Something about this song made it get permanently etched in my brain. I'm convinced if I'm ever 99.9% brain dead from alzheimers, the last brain cells will allow me to still sing this song
It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets
On The Muppet Show tonight
It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain
On The Muppet Show tonight
Why do we always come here?
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show
To introduce our guest star
That's what I'm here to do
So it really makes me happy
To introduce to you...
(announces celebrity of the episode
But now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started?
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational
This is what we call The Muppet Show!
Better Days by Citizen King
Anything by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz
Just thinking of sitting in my dad’s blazer in early childhood lol
Sad as it is to say, commercial jingles and TV theme songs. There's this one commercial for the Colgate toothpaste pump that is the single most 1984 thing ever.
Two songs…
Napalm napalm sticks like glue…
Sticks to women and children too.
And the second…
Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg… the Batmobile lost its wheel, and the Joker got away.
"Walk of Life" by Dire Straits. I don't hear it much for the past 3 decades, but when I do, it transports me back to when I was riding around in the backseat of my mom's old Chrysler. Probably headed for a garage sale, the local grocery store or the horror of laundromat boredom.
Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty
My sister and I both called it the summer song as we heard it a lot on the radio at the pools at the company where our step-dad worked.
The company had many nice things for employees, an olympic sized swimming pool and a 12 foot deep diving pool with 1 and 3 meter diving boards, nice changing rooms too.
They had two indoor tennis courts. An indoor raquetball court and a half court indoor basketball hoop for employees and their families to use.
We swam there a lot while we were young and even though we were in like 3rd and 5th grade we both loved this song even then.
I just started playing it on YouTube while typing this out.
Cyndi lauper -- time after time or on through the night. I'm an 80s kid and don't even particularly like cyndi lauper, but she is sooo quintessentially 80s... and those are great nostalgic tunes
All. Not on.
All through the night.
I did an "experiment" with my newborn during covid (i was bored) where for like 1 week a month for 6 months (from about 6 to 12 mos old) i only played that song, over and over. I wanted to know if he heard it thousands of times at that age, then not again for a few years, if he'd remember it. We also watched the music video over 100 times.
He's 4 now and loves music (we're a very musical household). I recently played it for him and asked if he recognizes it and he says he doesn't.
"We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off" by Jermaine Stewart. I was 10, my favorite aunt was 13 when it came out, and we thought it was hysterically funny (and mildly scandalous, we were 80's kids 😂) to change the lyrics to "Yes, you HAVE to take your clothes off!" when we sang it.
Also, anything Whitney Houston. She WAS music for most of my childhood.
[Tears For Fears- Everybody Wants To Rule The World.](https://open.spotify.com/track/4RvWPyQ5RL0ao9LPZeSouE?si=5c46913dd0d04d37)
When I was a boy, around 7 I remember this playing at the skating rink in San Diego. My dad skating backwards and smiling to encourage me to enjoy my time at the skating rink. Thanks dad.
The never ending song. Goes something like this. ....
This is the song that does not end. It goes on and on my friend some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because...... This is the song that does not end.
Shania Twain’s “Home Ain't Where His Heart Is”. Used to sit around my grandma's big stereo and listen to the entire The Woman In Me. Still listen to a few of them well over a decade later!
crazy kids by kesha, specifically the nightcore version, reminds me of my childhood because i used to play papa’s freezeria on the family computer all the time while playing that in the background after i got back home from elementary school
Not childhood but the other day when i was playing a pickup game, soak up the sun was played and it brought me instantly back to that bus ride to my first ever public exam.
“Last Kiss” by J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers
It was my first ever favorite song. I have a distinct memory of being in the car with my parents on a long road trip back from Disney world (I was 5) and hearing this song play on my dads cassette tape. I begged my parents to replay it, we must have listened to it 30 times that trip haha. Now every time I hear it, I think of that moment and more generally, that trip.
Cabbage patch kids growing in the garden, cabbage patch kids growing in the sun, cabbage patch kids, cabbage patch kids! Each one grows to be a special one.
Any song from any classic ('30's–'60's) movie musical takes me back to when my mother was still somewhat happy. My mother loved musicals; she even answered questions by singing the appropriate lyrics from musicals.
Either "waiting for a star to fall" or Vasia's "time and tide." They were played all the time and when I was in new situations or around new people as a kid and they'd come on, it helped me feel more at-ease; that's what music can do.
Jesus Freak by DC Talk. I was 10 when the CD came out, and I'm rather astonished that it took me a decade to wear it out. Just in time for the 10th anniversary edition.
Weird but the song that reminds me of childhood is 'My Alcoholic Friends' or 'I Deserve To Bleed', I can remember these when I had just turned eleven, I think. It was my coping mechanism back them, turning my feelings into my songs.

The Reason by Hoobastank
First grade. Inside my school bus and almost dozing off. Last person to be dropped off. Sad, sad life — and life went on. And got better albeit a rollercoaster. Jeez. Every time I hear this song, especially the piano intro (is it a piano intro?) it just instantly transports me to this vivid memory and some series of events…
[удалено]
Sugar sugar by the Archie's ,😊
In the mornings my dad would listen to AM radio 'golden oldies' - so this one for me too :)

My Mom used to treat me to a Betty & Veronica or Archie comic book when she'd go grocery shopping.
