Favourite Songs When You Were A Child

[masterblaster]

I thought it'd be an interesting thread concept to list some favourite songs when you were a child. Pick an age when you were a child and list some of your favourite songs here to go back down memory lane. I'll list some of the favourites I had when I was 7 years old.

Now granted my musical tastes have changed quite a bit since then but I still enjoy listening to a lot of these songs as it reminds me of some great times in my childhood.

In no particular order: My favourite songs when I was 7 years old

I'd love to see other people's childhood lists as well. I'm a child of the mid 80's and early 90's so my favourite childhood music is centered around that period. I've included video clips of the songs as well.

I hope you enjoy going back down memory lane with me by re visiting some of these songs.

[FaaipDeOiad]

Main things I remember from my childhood are Nirvana, Joy Division and The The. Guess it depends what the question is directed at, though. That was the music played around the house and so on. I never bought music of my own until I was 11 or 12.
