first favorite song MEME

[jlh]

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

How fun! Thanks for nudging me. I'll definitely get on this.

BTW, if you said and I missed it I apologize, but have you decided whether you're watching Idol or not?

[jlh]

I am, I'm just not posting about it, as I don't have a lot to say! Also last season wasn't that fun so I'm kinda done with that whole rigamarole. Going out with Cowell.

I forgot to say that I *loved* Pennsylvania 6-5000 and The Entertainer. The Entertainer in particular I remember from my childhood. I'll have to include that in my answer, even though you've used it already. It's what prompted me to take piano lessons. I never did learn how to play it, LOL!

Ha!

I did play the sax long enough to play the theme from My Three Sons, actually.

Oh, the Entertainer. Such a great song that to this day takes me back to that time. I think I've told you The Sting is one of the first movies I remember seeing, even if I don't remember the actual movie.

I did the meme. Just realized I forgot to tag anybody!

[jlh]

The first movies I remember seeing are Disney movies. But they all blur together.

Johnny Be Good when I was three. I had a 45 of it I used to play on a kid's record player. I loved it. My dad loved 1950s music and he probably encouraged me to play that song and maybe the record was even his? No idea.

[jlh]

oh god, kid's record players! They're so fun.

Red, Red, Wine (UB40 version). It came out in August 1983 so I was a little over a year old then and thus I did not fall in love with it upon release. I think I was probably around 7 or 8. I guess it was still played on the radio semi-frequently. :-P

That song got played at too many parties because people liked it and I got good and sick of it, I admit! But it certainly was incredibly popular.
