Favorite Childhood Songs
« on: December 26, 2007, 01:40:14 am »
I was thinking it would be fun to post youtube videos of our favorite childhood/teenage songs in a thread. And even if you can't find a youtube video, you could post lyrics to your favorite songs. I'm very sentimental and I love to reminisce.

I've already posted this video in my blog, but it's worth repeating. This song is "I Want You Back" from the Jackson 5. If there ever was a song that brings back memories of my childhood, this would be it. It played constantly on the radio when I was 8 or 9 years old. I LOVED the Jackson 5! I had all their albums and I wore many of them out from playing them over and over again on my record player.

Five extra bonus points if you can guess who "Scoop Newsworthy" really is. But I bet you can figure it out without any problem!  ;)

I'd love it if some of our Brokies from other countries would post videos and lyrics of some of their favorite childhood songs. In the meantime, I'm going back over to youtube to see what else I can find!! :D

The Jackson 5 performing "I Want You Back" from their "Going Back To Indiana" concert.

"More Than A Feeling" by Boston.

This is another one of my favorites. This song was released when I was about 15 years old. I went to see Boston in concert in Indianapolis the following year. It was my very first concert in fact, and they played this song along with an encore. I'll never forget it.


For those of us on dial-up, this song loads VERY quickly because there is only a splash screen with the music. No moving video to load.

This is another very fast loading youtube clip. There is no video whatsoever. Not even a splash screen. But the music is loud and clear!

"Rock and Roll Band" by Boston. Another memory maker for me! :D

"I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" by REO (we called them REO Speedwagon back in the 70s)

This is a very emotional song for me because this was the song me and my first lover shared together. It was our song. And now, 30 years later, once again history repeats itself. Alex and I have made this our song. We grew up 4,000 miles apart and an ocean away from each other, but this song is very special to the both of us, and it describes our feelings towards each other. Sorry about the mushy stuff.  ::)

This is a SLOW load for dial-up users like me. I haven't listened to this video all the way through. Please let me know if it doesn't play properly.

The Reo was named after its designer, Ransom Eli Olds (1864-1950), who
eventually left Oldsmobile to form a new company of his own. The first
Reos were chain-driven, single-cylinder 8 hp runabouts with an engine
under the floor and nothing under the hood. At first the car could be
purchased for about $685, but was reduced to $500 by 1909. An upgraded
model which boasted a 16hp twin sold for a staggering $1,250. By 1911
Reo was offering a model called “The Fifth” (because it was, in fact,
their fifth design), at a retail price of $1, 065. Though it didn’t
bear a very creative name, this little 4-cylinder left-hand drive car
was fairly popular. One of it’s most popular vehicles of the time, of
course, was a truck called the REO Speedwagon (from which the popular
rock group took it’s name) which was used as tow trucks, fire trucks
and other workhorse type vehicles. It set the standard by which most
companies producing trucks tried to imitate.

Thanks for the info Shasta!! I never knew that. Most people today refer to the group as simply "REO" but back in "the day" they were always REO Speedwagon!!!

Thanks Shasta!!

Your welcome. I'm glad you liked it. I thought -- this isn't very romantic, so it's gonna disrupt the mood, but I figured someone could get the mood back!  ;)

I used to date a fireman and once when we went to a fire museum opening in Memphis, I saw a picture of an antique REO Speedwagon fire truck -- and it was like Ohhhhh...that's where the name came from. Hmm. I don't know the story behind WHY they chose that name, but that would be interesting to know.

Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" from 1977.

Everytime I listen to this song, it invokes memories of me laying on my bed, florescent posters glowing from my blacklights, incense (sandlewood of course) filling the air and strobe lights flashing as I listened to the smooth strains of this song.

WOW!!!

Firefall's "You Are The Woman"

I have NO idea who Dan and Serena is, but anyway....  :-\

This is another one of my favorite teenage songs. I always think about cruising around Indy with my friends when I hear this. I don't know why. But they are very good memories for me.

I haven't checked this video all the way through. I watched the first 30 seconds of it, and it appears the song is fully intact and crystal clear. Please let me know if it doesn't play properly or if the video is inappropriate. :)

From 1976, "You Are The Woman" by Firefall...

Very cool 70s graphics in this video. I only watched about half of it though. I'm on dial-up, remember...  :P

So grab the bong pipe, fire up some rightous reefer, pop a lude, cop a cool breeze and enjoy the video.

(Hey, skip the drugs okay? It ain't cool anymore. But remember when we used to do it?  :D )

From around 1976 or 1977, Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain"

This next song reminds me of my Mother. She may have been Lakota Sioux, Creole French and African American, but she had a lot of hippie in her too!  :D

Mom listened to this song constantly. I heard it all the time as a child. It was one of my Mother's favorites, and so, because of that, it is one of my favorites too.  :)

Good memories....

But it also reminds me of the horrors of today's world. The Iraq War. Afghanistan. Darfur. Burma. The Gaza Strip. And others. Perhaps we should sing this song again..... but I digress.

This is another fast load-up for dial-up users. Splash screen again.....


From 1969 (I think) "Age of Aquarius" by The Fifth Dimension

All the songs you've posted so far bring back happy memories - they're more teenage/young adult memories for me, though, rather than childhood...

Here are a couple of others special to me:

The Eagles - Desperado

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

You're most welcome...didn't mean to make you sad though.  It's a good memory for me - going 'parking' with my first serious boyfriend - he drove this big black four-door car - an Impala, maybe? with the vinyl seats he kept slippery so that when he took a sharp curve, I had to hold on or slide over. ::)  Boys!

Oh I'm not sad Lynne. Like I said, they are good memories of times long gone, but not forgotten! :D

You went parking too? haha!!! We did a lot of that too! Up at Skiles Test! Hot sex on car seats!! Yup!

And remember the beer bashes in the woods? Big Beer kegs and everything. Rock and Roll blaring from the car stereos. Lots of fun! :)




Hi Spicylife!! Thanks so much for your contributions!! And congratulations one your ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY at BetterMost!!! Exactly one year from today.... well, yesterday now.

Yes, I understand the "haze" you speak of. Much of the 70s is a haze for me. ;)

I'm getting ready to go to bed, but I will check out your videos tomorrow. Thanks again for posting them for us!! :)

All Over The World by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)


I can't remember what year this song hit the airwaves, but I think it was around my junior or senior year of high school, so it was probably in 1979 or 1980.

Wouldn't it be fun if we could really do this? All of us to have a party around the world? All of the Euro Brokies and the folks down in Australia and up in Canada and all of us state side could have a party at the same time! And then we could call each other during the party! :D

This video loads very quickly. It's another one of those "splash screen" deals.

Telephone Line

This one loads slowly. I checked part of it late last night and it seemed okay. Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

Magnum Opus By Kansas. (1976)

Many people are not familiar with this song. It rarely played on the radio during the 1970's and if you wanted to listen to it, you had to buy the album. I first heard this song at my friend's house. He had the Leftoverture album, and I quickly dashed to the record store to buy it. It is one of my favorite songs by Kansas.

Magum Opus is actually several songs all tied together....

a. Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat
b. Howling at the Moon
c. Man Overboard
d. Industry on Parade
e. Release the Beavers
f. Gnat Attack


This is another one of those splash screen videos, but for some reason it loads very slowly, so I haven't checked the entire clip for quality, but what I did listen to sounded fine. This song is about 8-9 minutes long....

Yup! I was a disco dancer back in the 1970's. I was pretty good too! For several years disco was all the rage here in Indianapolis. Everybody was listening to it. And then one morning I woke up and turned on my radio, and they were telling us to smash our disco records. It was over. Just like that. Why? I never did understand it.

I still love disco. Maybe this is because I'm sentimental. Maybe it's because I'm gay. I really don't know. But I enjoy it and I will continue to listen to it, sans the dancing..... well, maybe every once in awhile, when nobody is looking!  :laugh:

This song is one of my favorites. I'm sure all of you are familiar with it. It's one of those wonderful 70s sounds that for most of us who grew up during that era will never forget; whether we want to or not!  ;)

More Than A Woman by Bee Gees. (1976)

Hey there, David - thanks for Styx - Come Sail Away - I loved that one.  How about Robert John's Sad Eyes?  I remember watching my older cousin Kim getting ready for dates, listening to this, wondering when I'd be old enough to wear makeup and date too... ::)

Okay. One more disco song and then I PROMISE I will stop.

Most of us could sing this next one in our sleep. But just in case you don't know the words, the person who uploaded this video was kind enough to include the lyrics. This is in a slide show format, and it loads quickly for dial-up users.  :D

Who can think about their childhood during the 60s and 70s without mentioning Elvis?

Awww.....  :-*

I caught my Mom and Dad one night dancing to Suspicious Minds in the living room. I was about 11 years old. They thought I was in bed, but I wasn't! I never told them about it. It was the sweetest thing I'd ever seen in my life. So, that is my memory of this song.

Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley (1969)

Melissa, I'm having trouble loading those videos. I'm on dial-up, so maybe I have a bad connection. I've tried twice. I'll try again in a few minutes. I'd love to watch them. They look very cute. Thanks for posting them in here!! :)


Gary, I'll try to watch your new videos too. Maybe if I log off and reboot I'll have better luck.

For whatever the song "If You Leave Me Now" made me think of this song.

I'd Love You To Want Me by Lobo

Although I was born listening to music by what my parents say this song would be the one that made music a part of everything in my life. I don't know how I would have made it through growing up without being able to escape in music. I remember I wanted to grow up to be a hippie when I saw this on TV  :D I thought John Lennon was so absolutely cool with the long hair and granny glasses. I thought The Beatles were cool in general and this song was what introduced me to them.

Hey Jude by The Beatles

Thanks for posting all these videos everyone!!  :D

I've been listening to them. I'm on dial-up though, so it takes awhile to get through them all. Excellent choices!!

Melissa, I finally watched your Kinderen Voor Kinderen videos. CUTE!!! Thanks for sharing a piece of your childhood with us!! :)


I Think I Love You (1970) by The Partridge Family.

Okay. Laugh all you want. I LOVED The Partridge Family when I was a kid; especially David Cassidy. I had a HUGE crush on him. I thought he was totally hot and gorgeous. I loved David Cassidy, Tony Dow and Barry Williams - probably in that order. But Tony Dow and Barry Williams didn't sing. Well, Barry Williams did sing a little on the Brady Bunch, but he couldn't sing like David Cassidy did!!! :D
