first favorite song MEME
Okay, not original to me--it's the AV Club's AVQA today--but music, memories, and hey, that census meme is already making me feel old so why not continue the trend? So here's the meme for your copying pleasure:
What's the first song you truly remember loving? (Don't worry if it's a little embarrassing; you were just a kid!) Then tag as many friends as you like to do the meme as well!
My parents tell a story that when I was first crawling--this would have been winter 69-70--I would come tearing into the living room from wherever I'd wandered off to if the Doublemint gum commercial was on. But I don't remember this.
Now my parents were a little older and listened to a lot of swing music in the house, rather than rock, so one of the two songs I remember particularly loving as a little kid was Pennsylvania 6-5000 by Glenn Miller. And then in 1973, when I was four, The Sting came out, which resulted in Joplin's "The Entertainer" getting a lot of radio airplay and I adored that song as well. I also have a vague memory of liking "Come Together", or at least the line, "one and one and one is three."
When I was seven, I was really into "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac, though I didn't know what the name of it was; I mostly knew the line "thunder only happens when it's raining." I was an alto even as a little girl and loved that Stevie Nick's voice was so low; I used to sing that song all the time and was really happy whenever it played over the radio in the school bus.
I am officially tagging everyone, but I'm going to nudge a few people whose musical tastes I'm particularly interested in:
ignaz, honestys_easy, mahoni,
sistermagpie, abigail89, sangueuk, slytherincess, evil_erato and lillijulianne. (This list is a little weighted toward folks my age, I admit.)
So? What about you?
