That's the one!!!! It's so cool. Used to get it sung to me all the time.... I wonder why?

Don McLean: American Pie

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die.

I was about 5. I didn't know what it meant then - don't know now.

Layla by Eric Clapton. I would have been about a year old or so. Then the bastard brought out the unplugged version and I was stumped.

Eagles - The Last Resort.

My parents played that to me as a kid to try and get me to sleep. apparently it was the only song that would work.

heard it years later and something went TWANG in my head and started singing along to it, even though i hadn't heard it in 20 years.
