The oldest song you remember.

[Krayy]

Name this song.....


Girl: Look there daddy do you see, theres a horse in striped pyjamas
Man: No thats not what it is at all, thats an animal people call a Zebra
Girl: I see, but it still looks like a horse in his pyjamas to me

Girl: Look there daddy do you see, theres a bird in his tuxedo
Man: No thats not what it is at all, thats an animal people call a penguin
Girl: I see, but it still looks like a bird in his tuxedo to me


thats all I can remember...anyone know any other verses (I sing this to my girls when we go to the zoo)

Probably one of the earliest songs I remember is my dad singing the ying tong song to me.
I'm probably one of the world's youngest Goon Show fans as a result.

I love The Goons! And I bet that I'm younger than you...

Is this the one that goes....

It went "zip" when it moved and "zip" when it stopped
and "whirr" when it stood still,
I never knew just what it was
and I guess I never will.

???

That's the one - cool song eh!!

I struck gold a few weeks back when I finally found a the only song I remember properly from when I was 4 years old (bloody ages back), and was wondering what the earliest song memory is, that you guys have.

My song :
I'm a train - Albert Hammond (the guy wrote for a lot of popular 70's artists)

I love this song, it's actually quite cool.

the devil came down to georga (sp) I think by the charlie daniels band.

[Goblin]

I heard a couple on Classic Hits the other day, Mexico and that one that goes "Take out the papers and the trash......Yakkidy Yak..Dont talk back!"

That's the one. Try the enclosed zip file.

This thread asked for the oldest songs that you remember. I take it that means the oldest you are aware of hearing.
The songs I first remember ever hearing were all the songs they used to play during the second world war and just watching as the women took on far away looks and began to quietly weep and the men would go quiet and thoughtful!
After a little while the radio would get turned off and everybody was given jobs to do to keep everyone busy so that they didn't have time to indulge in the self pity of the moment.
Busy people are happy people was the common cry.
On VE day and VJ day everyone must have found a lot of jobs to do because I had never seen them so happy before. Cheers John.

And 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'

I had the day off and it was pissing down with rain in Auckland, so I was browsing YouTube as you do and found this...

Short animation of a Hippo and Dog singing the tune!

Anyhow after a bit of Googling I found this! Gamers will appreciate!

World of Warcraft does Lion Sleeps Tonight (d/l 17MB)

we have joy, we have fun,
we have seasons in the sun....

no idea who wrote/sang it but my ma seemed to play it all the time.

We had joy, we had fun,
Picking bogies in the sun,
But the sun got so hot,
That the bogies turned to snot....
