Music from your childhood

I'm watching "100 greatest songs of the 90's" on VH1 right now.
It's bringing back so many memories of what I listened to when I was little.

I always liked the song No Rain by Blind Melon. The music video for it had a girl running around in a bee costume and when I was little I would call it the bee song.

Also, the song What's Up by 4 Non Blondes. I love that song still! When I was little I called it the ya-ya song haha.

And Loser by Beck. I would sing that song constantly when I was little


What songs remind you of when you were little when you heard them?

 

baby beluga or joshua giraffe, both by raffi

 

all the oldies songs since thats what my mom listened to in the car. Then with me dad it was jimi hendrix and the doors

 

yeah, that's how i got to listen to all the music i do today
my dad is all into the classic rock, i've been listening to that too for as long as i can remember

 

Watching those shows always brings back old memories.
It's weird how hearing a song you heard as a kid can take you right back to that place and give you the "vibe" of that time when you heard it.

Hearing "Two Princes" by the Spin Doctors always takes me back to around the age of 6 or 7, swimming in the local pool no matter how many times I hear it.

 

my dads always been into classic rock so my whole childhood with him was zeppelin, floyd, the doors and others
but my mom just tuned into the radio and i def remember no rain
i downloaded it last year and this year i got into blind melon alot more
but theres tons of other songs that i would remember from the 90s im sure

 

I remember listening to raffi in the bathtub! My boyfriend has absolutely no idea who he is. Sometimes I try to make up words to baby beluga to sing to my daughter, but I can't remember the lyrics.

 

baby beluga in the deep blue sea
swim so wild and you swim so free
heaven above
sea below
you're just a little white whale on the go!

baby beluga,
oh baby beluga...
is your mama home, is the water warm?
with yoooou so happppy?

way down yonder where the dolphins play
where you splash and swim all day
heaven above
sea below
you're just a little white whale on the go

thats all i remember if theres anymore, but i think i got it wrong in one way or another. i'm sure you can still buy raffi albums online or look up the real lyrics. i just have a wierd memory for certain things.....haha.....

i'm not proud of this

when i was real little i saw him in concert....actually, my parents took my little sister and i went too, but it was like for her birthday or something i think

he came out on stage with a giant plastic toothbrush and did a song about brushin your teeth

 

The beatles, greatfull dead, bruce springstien. And this weird ass group called Trout Fishing in America that my family always listened to. And of course all the kids songs. I remember one tape we had that had "theres a whole in the bottom of the sea" and a bunch of other songs like that, that i listened to constantly. Those deffently bring back memories.

 

yeah, i like raffi when i was a kid but i'd sooner smack myself in the face with some brass knuckles before i'd put on a cd of his

 

lol wow!!! I can't believe you remember these lyrics! Thanks so much

 

Hmmm trout fishing in america is a book by Richard Brautigan. He also wrote In watermelon sugar. He was/is one of my favorite authors. But he's dead now. I think he killed himself.

This might of been what you listened to. Although I'm surprised your parents dug this stuff out in the last 16 years.

Trout Fishing in America
A music duo, Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet, who continue to play music after their formation in Houston, Texas during the mid-1970s. Their name was inspired by Brautigan's novel Trout Fishing in America, published in 1967.

 

Its grateful dead btw

 

NOTORIOUS B.I.G. - JUICY
"and if ya don't know, now ya know, nigga"
'nuff said... :spliff:


I also remember listening to phish with my older sister back when I was a little kid and she was in college.

 

the classic rock station here started playing that 90's stuff -_-. Makes me feel old, I still listen to all that the 90's were awsome.

Kids of the 90's had a great time, I could name all the crazy fads all day.

 

^ Then it's not a classic rock station anymore.

My classic rock station plays only real classic rock, and some new songs from classic rock artists, but never anything from the 90s!

 

Man it's funny that you say that ts, I was up in Boston a few weeks ago and we were listening to the classic rock station they have, and all of a sudden Oasis - wonderwall comes on. It made me feel old too.

 

i've heard the occasional 80s songs on some radio stations that feature predominantly older stuff, "oldies".....but NEVER anything from the 90s....that shit gets played on college stations and sometimes on mainstream stations mixed in with more current stuff...

 

i've got a wierd memory for this kind of stuff. i can remember catchy tunes and dialogue from movies and tv, i can remember all sorts of useless facts and tidbits and trivia...but i can't remember when i'm scheduled to do something, what i did a couple days ago, how long its been since something happened....all sorts of wierd things.

my memory works in mysterious ways. those lyrics are almost certainly NOT dead-on, but i think its pretty close, which i'm comfortable with seeing as i dont think i've heard that song in about 15 years, give or take

 

i never really had a memory for music i can never think basck on a memory and remember what music was playing. i have XM radio in my truck but i hardly ever listen to it here online on my computer. usually i listen to 20 on 20 but my parents like the older music like my mom always listens to the 60s on 6. my dad always listens to xm 40 deep tracks which plays classic album rock,landmark songs, lost gems, offbeatcuts, live concerts from the 60s and 70s. i love XM just because theres so many different types of music that you can listen to at any given time.
