What's the Earliest Song/Record You Remember ? - Page 2

I have no idea which of these songs I actually heard first. They just sort of occupy the same place in my memories. My mom and dad always had the radio playing. I would guess that I was either three or four years old, so 1976 or 1977.

Harry Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin'

My fathers Favourite song of the 60's.

Thanks, Scoundrel. I was thinking purely radio and hadn't even thought about lullabies. When I was little and couldn't sleep, my dad would sit on the edge of my bed and sing this little jewel of a song to me. I can remember drifting off to sleep dreaming of cowboys around a camp fire and wild horses running through grassy plains of the west. One of the few good memories I have of my father

Roy Rogers - Git Along Little Dogies

When I was a little kid, my dad brought me all the Beatles albums on 4 track tape. I remember this was my favorite, the one I listened to over and over.

Lobo - Me & You & A Dog Named Boo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fgGNZYR5QM

Apparantly as a very young kid, I kept asking my parents to play "Dog named Boo" , so I class this as the first song that I remember.
I think I must have heard it on the radio 'cause my parents had to go and buy the record to shut me up!

Back in the USSR by the beatles when my folks got a stereo record player. We had a radio gram before that.

I remember Patti Paige's "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window" (1953, I was 4 or 5) pretty well,

but my parents had a 78 record player that got a lot of use, and something they might have played around Christmas like "The Nutcracker Suite" might have registered sooner.
