The First Song You Remember Hearing...
 

I remember sitting in the back seat of a car, when I was wee old, smelling the smell of a new car leather interior and listening to this on an AM station:



I remembered the song years later when I heard a cover tune of it - it was one of the first songs which I learned to play on guitar:



Time to wax nostalgic people... :)

Burning Love by Elvis Presley and I still love it :thumbsup

I didn't recall that song. However, I bet that Led Zeppelin or the Honey Drippers (Page-Plant) could have done a better cover of that cover song:



If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? Why I ask, is that it seems like a rather obscure Elvis tune.

To be truthful, the first time I took an interest in the 'charts'...

It was...



























I even sang it at the school talent show! aged about 6 !!! LOL



PS: Great thread... I loves myself a lil bit of nostalgia!

the theme music to the popeye cartoons, the B&W one

Portsmouth in England. :thumbsup I was about 4 or 5 on my school holidays and Elvis films were being played on the tv every morning... I was hooked & he got me into playing music & a great influence too. My Mum says I demanded (with a screaming fit) his album and I bought it with my pocket money. (mum took me to the shop) Better than sweets :winkwink:

First song I remember hearing, I'm not too old though.. :)

Wake me up before you go go by Wham!

Mine was from the same year - Mack the Knife :)

I recall hearing this on an outdoor skating rink in Toronto (might've been Nathan Philips Square in the late 60s).




And I don't recall the date or place - but roughly the same era (RIP Mama Cass)

Yankee Doodle as I crossed the Delaware! :thumbsup

For some reason this comes to mind 2 Live Crew - Banned in the USA :(

I'd have to really think about it though.

Okay, a real threat was "Jessie's Girl" cause my girlfriend hated him and he had the girl I wanted and etc and OH PLEASE just kill me!

all night long Lionel Richie! Then Van Halen and thats when it went all down hill for me lol!
