I think "Swet (A-la-long)" by Inner Circle. Strange that I remember what I watched on ty before 1992-1993, but I can't rember the music that I was listening to.

I was a little over 3 years old when I heard this

This thread brings back a few memories of the questionable music of the '70s and early '80s that I listened to when I was very little (4-10 years old?) and my parents either had the radio on in the car, or else were playing a vinyl record on their record player. My parents never got into disco, but they liked everything from what is now considered "classic rock" (the music of the hippies during the Vietnam era), to '80s Top 40 music (Bruce Springsteen and Tears For Fears come to mind as the first records I remember them buying)... Then there was absolute crap like the song "Buffalo Ding Dong" by Neil Diamond, almost like a bestiality reference in a music recording... >

By the time I had an allowance and could make money selling newspapers and other things from places advertised in magazines, I got a little yellow tape boombox and joined Columbia House records and tapes in the middle '80s (maybe age 10-11 around 1986-87?) Unfortunately, my musical tastes were influenced by the kids at school and what my parents listened to on the radio: I actually liked Richard Marx, Fleetwood Mac, and Michael Jackson in the '80s!

So how did I get into hard rock and heavy metal? Discovering Z-ROCK, the gym, girls, and getting bullied in eighth grade all influenced my decision to buy tapes (later CDs) of those bands and listen to little else in high school. I'm still metallic at age 38.

Manferd Mann, Ha Ha said the clown. Used to listen to this when I was very young back in the late sixties, my friends older brother had the record.

I can't remember the exact song, but it would have been sometime in the mid-late '60s, before we had a TV, so whatever was on the radio. Things like Downtown by Petula Clark or The Seekers. And That's Amore by Dean Martin. Probably on Family Favourites because I don't remember listening to anything else apart from The Clitheroe Kid.

Hearing those brings the sixties rushing back.

I do remember the first record I bought, used from a corner shop bargain bin: My Special Angel by Malcolm Vaughan. I suppose I was about 10 at the time.

As a very small child, I was fascinated by this record. I think it gave me a lifelong love of just pure tune - instrumental music, folk tunes and the like. Plus, of course, a liking for pianists such as Fats Waller, Pete Johnson and Conway himself.

I would say these three all spring to mind. I remember being at a Christmas party my aunt held in 1964 and the Petula Clark record was on the record player.
