...when you were a little kid, the very first song.
What was it?
For me it was "Et Maintenant" by Gilbert Becaud,
this kinda sappy French ballad from, I guess,
1965. I have no idea why I liked it so much
but I would ask my grandmother to play the 45
for me.
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

The song that made me love music and want to be in a band as a kid was "Radar Love" by Golden Earing. I got that CD along with my first CD player for Christmas years and years ago.

I can remember lots of kids songs, but I can remember the first time I really took notice of ROCK was "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I was on the big yellow school bus and it played on the radio. Someone told me it was a chick singing and I didn't believe them. Then I thought, OK, now I get the rock.
I remember "Another One bites the Dust" and anything by KISS which all the kids were listening to, but I wasn't into it at the time. I was playing violin and learning classical music.
I remember a lot of Simon and Garfunkel and Carpenters on the radio growing up too and remember like that. But Joan Jett was the big breakthrough. Then it was all about Def Leppard.

I was really into Bryan Adams as a child (ahem), so it was probably Kid's Wanna Rock.
I later got into Wonderstuff, Jesus Jones, EMF, Jellyfish, Lemonheads, that kind of stuff...

The Beatles - Love Me Do
Not sure how that came to be the first record i ever owned, im 25 so it's not like it was a current hit when i was young or anything, i must have heard it on the radio and asked my parents to buy it. I can remember playing the 7" of it at my aunts house when i was about 5 years old. I just have to hear the song and i can close my eyes and feel like i am in her living room all over again. That song is a work of genius, and i love it just as much now as i did back then, and i'm not a huge Beatles fan by any stretch of the imagination.

This is an interesting thread and I just wanted to comment. Brings back Memories...
My brother that was almost 12 years older than I am was a big fan of Kiss and AC/DC. I can remember sing She Shook Me All Night Long. My mom used to listen to the radio and the song I can remember the most is Rod Stewart's Your in My Heart. I think those are my earliest memories of songs.

neil diamond "cracklin rosie", "sweet caroline", the beatles "tellow submarine", and my mom singing "let's go fly a kite".
first song i ever really liked for myself not because my parents exposed me to it must ahve been "eye of the tiger".
The waxworks were an immensely eloquent dissertation on the wonderful ordinariness of mankind. |

after a bit of googling, I think it was 'January' by Pilot which is a bit embarrassing.
I really can't remember if there was anything before that, and as that is January 1975, that puts me at 5 years old.

I can't remember exactly but I think the first song I ever really liked was Champagne Supernova by Oasis. I remember being impressed with the line "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball".
Then about a year ago I found out that Noel Gallagher came up with the title for the song when he misheard the title of the Pixies' 'Bossanova' after watching a programme about champagne.

I got a record player for my 8th birthday and I actually had FULL access to all of my dad's 45's - he had a huge collection. It was sooo cool.
The first 45 that we got just for me was a used "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones. Soon after that I got something by Hall & Oates...can't remember which song at the moment.
Oh yeah...I LOVED "Ticket to Ride" back then too. |

I reckon there is a fair chance that a Pink Floyd track was my first too. My dad always played them around the house and in the car. That's why I love them now.

One night at a family casino, Russian acrobatic performance by "The Cranes", it was my turn to take young Martin, barely out of diapers, to the bathroom. Late eighties. As we entered he perked up at the piped-in music and exclaimed "Dangerous!", smiling at the Roxy one hit wonder of the day. Martin was on the pop music beam from the get-go. Good kid.

For me it would have to be the theme to the TV show Taxi. You know, where they're driving over the Brooklyn Bridge? I remember hearing that theme song from my bed when I was like 3 or 4. I didn't hear it again until I was about 25 (Nick at Night)and, man oh man did it take me back. Great tune. |

At age eight (1963) I was huge on "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" by Rolf Harris. And then there was "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Brothers the next year. (Yes, I was a lovesick pseudo-nihilist almost from the start.) I'm told I did a mean Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" when I was three but no recordings exist. Pity.

My earliest memory is of my dad playing Doolittle on a record player, when I was probably about 3, so 92ish. Anyway the very forst thing I rember in life would be the whispering of 'hips like Cinderella' and the 'uh huh' bit, so I suppose that would be the first song I liked. i certainly never disliked it. Wasn't some years later until I got into the Pixies though, heard that and recognised it straight away.
