Wednesday Playlist – Songs From Your Childhood Edition

July 14th, 2010

superbadgirl – Time for #wednesdayplaylist! Give me a song from your early childhood of which you have fond memories, perhaps one your parents listened to?

superbadgirl – I listened obsessively to my Mom’s 8-track with the Shangri-La’s “Leader of the Pack” on it. #iMetHimAtTheCandyStore

jeniburns – @superbadgirl The one that sticks out the most for me is Carly Simon’s Comin’ Around

H_Wallbanger – @superbadgirl Well, I did listen to Puff The Magic Dragon even before I figured out it was about weed.

El_Dickman – @superbadgirl “Tuesday Afternoon” by the Moody Blues. Yeah, they were hippies. I love the ethereal feel to it. #wednesdayplaylist

narcise – Wild World -Cat Stevens #wednesdayplaylist

H_Wallbanger – @superbadgirl Also, anything by Buddy Holly since my dad both had those glasses and listened to him.

cvbarnhart – @superbadgirl John Denver – Take Me Home, Country Roads #wednesdayplaylist

ieincognito – @superbadgirl My parents had a 60′s folk tape we listened to constantly on trips. Pete Seeger did the “Little Houses” song on there.

Lorizs_tweets – Wild World -Cat Stevens It is the only song I remember my Dad singing along to, still hear his voice when I listen to it #wednesdayplaylist

cbellers – @superbadgirl blondie – Rapture #wednesdayplaylist

UnclePilot – @superbadgirl Meat Loaf – “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” #wednesdayplaylist

Grave_Danger – @Superbadgirl “A Fifth of Beethoven” from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack let me know my parents were going to party.

agingdragqueen – @superbadgirl Moody Blues – Tuesday Afternoon #wednesdayplaylist

thatcesareguy – @superbadgirl Anything off of “Magical Mystery Tour” for dad, as it was the sole 8-track that still worked. Anything by The Cars for mom.

jamesblackwood – @superbadgirl “Mountain Music” Alabama, “Ocean Front Property” George Strait, and anything by the Oak Ridge Boys #wednesdayplaylist

k_del – @superbadgirl Rock Island Line- Johnny Cash (grandpa was a engineer) #wednesdayplaylist

stevodarkly – I remember listening to “A Taste of Honey” by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass on my parent’s 3-ton cabinet stero. #wednesdayplaylist … Eventually this led to me buying the “Whipped Cream etc.” CD as an adult. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP7EzJtXWQM

Joule – @superbadgirl My dad’s obsession with Graceland led to my obsession with Graceland, so I’ll go with the title track. #wedplaylist

jamietoonart – @superbadgirl “Hotel California” and “Nights in White Satin” via my parents, “Don’t Dream It’s Over” via KHTR

hipntrendy – I had a fixation for my mom’s Glenn Miller, I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo for #wednesdayplaylist

_bunny_ – @superbadgirl Also, the companion song to my previous (in *my* mind anyway) James Taylor – Gorilla. From my mom’s rekkids. #wednesdayplaylist

ZSB3 - @superbadgirl “I Love a Rainy Night” by Eddie Rabbitt. My dad and I used to sit on the patio and watch storms roll in.

Sorry I forgot to participate. The Beach Boys’ California Girls (and the whole Endless Summer album) was a great thing to listen to while being a little girl in SoCal.

Peter, Paul, and Mary have definitively stated more times than I care to think about, Puff the Magic Dragon had nothing to do with weed!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s about the wonder of childhood imagination and growing up! Come on people…let’s kill this urban weed myth.
