What are songs/music you loved as a child and still love to this day?
Love that one too! Have it on mp3 player... :->
As I got older, I'd hear certain pieces somewhere, that I'd recognize, but didn't know from where. I'd start paying attention to more and more classical stuff, and then I'd see a cartoon that I was very familiar with, and there would be a piece. I started figuring out that a lot of the pieces that I liked, I had first heard in cartoons.
he punk rolled up his big blue eyes
And said to the jocker, "Sandy,
I've hiked and hiked and wandered too,
But I ain't seen any candy.
I've hiked and hiked till my feet are sore
And I'll be damned if I hike any more
To be buggered sore like a hobo's whore
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains."

I grew up in a household that played a lot of Richard Rodgers, Sousa, Brahms, and especially Wagner. Basically, I knew “Kill the Wabbit” as the beginning of the 3rd act of Die Walküre before I knew it as “Kill the Wabbit”...hahahahah!
Thanks... I just spent 2 hours going through this thread. I just love it when someone starts a thread like this... just to see everyone’s perspective.
Just listened to the song MTA...the other day. What a hoot esp if you have lived in Boston. As a kid I could never figure out why Charlie’s wife didn’t include a nickel with the sandwich. Lol
Make it talk! Lol
Having read all of the replies I have one thing to say, boy do I feel old. Lol
For me it’s sinatra, some Beatles, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, dire straits, bob Denver, Rock and roll pre 1963. ...
Another Burl Ives song I loved as a kid:
The Doughnut Song--Burl Ives (1951)
It creeps up on ya C4ever. :)
Rock & Roll Waltz by Kay Starr, circa 1955. Also 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

haha never heard which witch doctor before
Who Put the Benzadrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine? by Harry "The Hipster" Gibson
“When the music got faster, Little Richard definitely carried the torch.”
Well, Good Golly Miss Molly!
I got my first AM radio in 1958. I lived near Boston at the time. Arnie “Woo Woo” Ginsberg was the rock DJ on WMEX (where Howie Carr now resides).
Screamin Jay, Little Richard, Dion and the Belmonts, The Platters, The Drifters, Buddy, Elvis and the rest of the late 50’s icons were my heros at age seven.
