The oldest song you remember.

[kro]

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.

Yip, know that song well. We have it on a vinyl!! "I'm a train, I'm a train, I'm a chuka-train yeah. Going down to the breaker's yard! I'm a train, I'm a train, I'm a chuka-train, yeah!

My earliest song memory was Puppet on a String - Sandie Shaw when I was about two. I used to sing and do the actions of a puppet. I have that song on a 45 in the cupboard!!!

Johnny Cash - Boy Named Sue

Brings back strange memories of when I was very young. I think Dad was singing it to me.

[Jackrat]

Hell,what are you lot?? like ten years old or something.
The oldest song I remember comes from the early thirtys and was one of my Grandmothers favourites.
Roses are Red,also one of my own favourites because it always brings back memories of my grandmother.
Actualy darn near everything I really like was made before I was born,anything else is modern music and only listened to for novelty value.

''Doctor Paul''....''The Archers''....''Portia Faces Life''....and of course - ''Daisy,Daisy,give me your answer do,I'm half crazy,all for the love of you...''

Mum had a valve radio on top of the Kelvinator fridge going all day as she worked non stop on the housework,my life as a 3 year old was measured by the regular radio programs.

Not only do I remember it, I even found the lyrics to my favourite song from 1957: Marianne


All day
all night
Marianne
down by the seaside siftin' sand.
Even little children love Marianne
down by the seaside siftin' sand.
Marianne
oh
Marianne
oh won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut
and brandy in the tea.
Leave your fat old Mama home
she never will say yes
if Mama don't know now
she can guess.
My
my
yes.
When she walks along the shore
people pause to greet.
White birds fly around her
little fish come to her feet.
In her heart is love
but I'm the only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne.
Don't rush me.
When we marry we will have
a time you never saw.
I will be so happy
I will kiss my Motherinlaw (phooey)
Children by the dozen
in and out the bamboo hut
one for ev'ry palm tree and cokynut.
Hurry up now.
All day
all night
Marianne
down by the seaside siftin' sand.
Even little children love Marianne
down by the seaside siftin' sand.

Scorpygirl, I looked up your profile after reading your song list cause they are getting closer to the ones I remember Now I'm off to the hospital for a checkup.
You are the same age as my oldest son! My god I feel old now but I may feel better tomorrow if I'm still here. Good night young ones.
