Re: which song gets you thinking about childhood

Morningtown Ride by the legends that are The Seekers is another - I don't know where i heard it as kid/what I was doing but upoon re-discovering it about a year/18 months back - I can say in all honesty I heard that at a very very young age and was probably the 1 I had heard even before Wham and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - which for years I believed was my/the first childhood song I had heard ever!!

I mentioned up,up and away in an earlier post but another song that takes me right back to being about seven or eight years old was excerpts from a teenage opera, more commonly known as grocer Jack by Keith west...Oh and Simon smith and his amazing dancing bear by Alan price.

Delving a bit further into my more "Teenage Youth", as a n honourable late fledging "Duranie" (Aka Duran Duran fans' names) I just so loved Ordinary World after they first brought it out in 1993 9such a sad song indeed but with amazing wording)

I never imagined at the time - that a Song could be re-covered so quicky as it was then turned into a Dance Song in 1999. Me and a "so called mate" in 1999/200 sqabbled for yonks on end - which was the better version and as much as I am a "Duranie", i always went for the Dance Version then and still do ... but what a mellow beutiful Song Akin to John Lennon and Imagine it truly is!!

No wonder I used to have the radio on last thing at night - better than a clock radio.

Re: which song gets you thinking about childhood

Does anyone get the "earworm" or hearing songs when they just happen to look at old chart lists on websites such as Official Charts or Everyhit? One sees the song listed and the tune automatically comes into your head, even if it's been forgotten over time or hasn't been played on the radio in years.

No wonder I couldn't recall that version of the song.

That version did not get in the charts in Britain - seems to be an American hit though.

Did they do a version of that song? I thought it was the Johnny Mann Singers who sung it.
