Blue - Eiffel 65. I was ~6 when I discovered it. My poor mother had to listen to that on repeat. I ended up growing up with severe depression. I guess I really am blue.
Don’t feel too bad. I’m certain that at least 100 million mothers had to hear that song on repeat, from across the world. It was HUGE amongst the kids at my school in the US.
My first ever favorite song was DuckTales - Theme Song.
If TV show songs are off the list… then it would be, it would have to be The California Raisins - Lean On Me (Cover).
Feel Good Inc.
When it came out, I was a young teen who had never heard anything quite like it before. Alt-rock meets hip-hop? I don’t feel like I’m alone in that
MC Hammer - Can’t Touch This
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree.
I’m not an Aussie, but in elementary school choir we learned this song, and it’s been an earwig my whole life.
When Men At Work came on the radio many years later, that flute riff blew my mind.
I have it on good authority it was Dancing in the dark by Springsteen
That’s where Carlton’s got his ‘It’s not unusual’ dance from. Bruce Springsteen in Dancing in the dark.
Either hamster dance or Hey baby by DJ Otzi, maybe one of the S Club 7 songs.
Did you also watch the s club 7 tv show? Nobody believes me when I tell them about it
No we didn’t get it in Australia which is odd for a BBC show not to hit Australia
The Beach Boys - Kokomo
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!
Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. My sister had the cassette and I was so envious. I might’ve stolen it once or twice.
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!
Move it on Over - George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Grew up on his music because my dad controlled the car radio, as a little 4-5 year old I even had a whole dance to it not knowing what the song was actually about, hahaha
Baby got back by sir mixalot.
Made all the more favorite by the fact that I listened to it in the living room, on cassette tape, and my grandmother marched over, took it out, and chastised me for listening to such filth.
Then broke hte tape with her big wooden spoon that she had on the wall.
Good Vibrations or Here Comes the Sun, my parents would let me use their walkmans (walkmen?) when I would play Commander Keen and Jill of the Jungle. It was a blast
I really dug It’s All Been Done but the Barenaked Ladies. Still do.
