Ask Lemmy

I really dug It's All Been Done but the Barenaked Ladies. Still do.

"Faster than the Speed of Life" - Steppenwolf

I was 5. Absolutely adored this weird stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkfpi2H8tOE

The Twist - Chubby Checker.

First tape I ever bought for myself. Still love oldies to this day.

when i was like 5 i had a little record from ray stevens, 'the streak'

This is a weird one. It's a song called Please pass the biscuits. I couldn't even hum the melody for it, it's been so long since I heard it.

Before I was old enough to go to school, (early 80s) my brother would play our parents records, and my dad had a 45 of this biscuit song. The song is the story of this kid who really loves biscuits. His family makes biscuits every Sunday and he's looking forward to it, but nobody hears him when he asks for the biscuits, and he doesn't get any.

I thought it was a pretty funny song, so I played it often.

Mhmm, The Four Lads, that's why I specify. I'd wager the Johns' version is still the most popular though.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Beth - Kiss.

FWIW, I'm 23 and I believe this was 2004.

Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger

Used to have a little toy guitar and would strum it while wearing oversized sunglasses with my favorite cousin while the song was blaring. Adults loved it

American Pie by Don McLean

I would listen to it on repeat for what seems like an entire era of my life. Could sing the whole thing at some point!

Probably the original Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.

Stadium Arcadium -RHCP

First one I remember from when I was younger

The Beach Boys - Kokomo

I liked rock sort of "meh" when I was a kid, being born in 1964 a lot of it was old hippie stuff that never clicked with me like Zeppelin.

Then one day I was playing D&D at a friend's house and he played Mongoloid by DEVO. Holy shit I lost my mind. There was music out there that actually spoke to me!

Pink's whole Missundaztood album

Love Missile F1-11, by Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

Living on a Prayer. Lol don't judge I was 13 and full of hormones for JBJ.

Mine was Wake me up before you go go by Wham!

The Boy Is Mine by Brandy and Monica

La bamba, I had no idea what he was saying but it sounded good.

My current favorite is Naeveran by Marius Ziska and I have no idea what he is saying but it sounds good.

Gangsters Paradise - Coolio

I was given a bunch of CDs with random songs on them, and that was on there. It was the song I played on repeat the most.

Idk which was first, but it was either blue ba dee or walkin on the sun. Both were absolute bangers to me as a kid.

I may or may not have ruined a Barney cassette by playing it way too much

Aliens Exist by Blink 182. I don't even know why because I didn't speak english or understand it at the time, I just remember my pure love for it. It's still one of my favourite songs and enema of the state of my favourite albums of all time.

Take On Me by A-Ha, when I was four I use to beg my mom to give my change for the jukebox every time we went to the local cafe, then proceed to dance about to it, week after week.
