Songs From Our Childhood
Posted by: u5227470736789439 on 17 March 2006
Dear Friends,
In order to preserve the Sad Thread, can we have a happy one, where we fondly remember and name the songs that stayed fresh in the memory from our childhoods?
Three Little Fishes.
Three Wheels On My Wagon.
De-oh!
Puff The Magic Dragon.
You get the idea. Nothing too hardcore, but good, innocent fun that has proved memorable!
I shall really enjoy reading this, and in the end perhaps we could find out how much is still available. Just to be ready for the entrance into our second childhoods, sans teeth etc!

Indeed, sounds like another Happy Thread.
Sans teeth and sans espoire.

Dear Sebastian,
Sans teeth, sans functioning brain, and therefore completely happy as there is nothing left to worry with!

Other TV themes that still stick in my mind as music from my childhood - 'Robinson Crusoe' and the 'Flashing Blade' both european I know not from where.
Theme tune from The flashing blade I listened to this as a small boy before going out and punching an older school boy square in the middle of his stupid face. It's cringe worthy stuff but brought back memories LOL.
I still prefer Noggin the Nog! 
I have finally tacked it down - pure magic Noggin the Nog introI rarely meet anyone who has even heard of Noggin much less remember having watched him but as a small sprog I was utterly enthralled by the prince of the Nogs.

I have my parents to blame for my tastes in part, mum was all country western stuff, the usual suspects, jim reeves, mum sat there knitting away singing " He'll have to go " 
" Turn that down to one bar for me lad, " she would ask, referring to the electric fire.
Slim whitman was another fav of hers, also to become one of mine, yep will hold my hand up!
With dad it was glen miller, perry como, dean martin, the amount of times little ole wine drinker was played!
Away from the influences of my parents, there are a few that spring to mind, I even recall our english teacher bringing in david essex's album, stardust.
We were all treated to a lesson of doing sod all, no pens were required, all that was required was in her words " sit quietly and listen "
Sadly, of all the 10cc records that come to mind is " donna ".
The 100th soldier killed in ireland was brought up in our road, he was killed in the july and when I hear that record even now it brings it back, I would have been around 14 at the time, sadly the father of the soldier hung himself because he was beside himself with grief, having signed the forms for his son to go in the army.
I find it fascinating that you can hear a tune and instantly you're taken back to where and when you first heard that tune, if it keeps the brain active, music, keep it playing
As john miles sung, " Music was my first love and it will be my last, music of the future and music of the past ".....

I have the Jackie Lee single in my collection, but I don't have her version of Rupert, Rupert the Bear - you can relive the wonderful Theme from White Horses here (Mac friendly version - could get your link to play right through on my Mac, not sure why). The only theme tune I prefer to White Horses is the Settler's theme from Follyfoot called the Lightning Tree which can be heard here.
Best regards, Rotf
