another crazy pianist
Grown up in the late seventies and eighties, these were my earliest absolute hits (being about 3-6 years old...) :

1. Mamma Mia (Abba)
2. Denis Denis (Blondie)
3. Hopelessly devoted to you (Olivia N. John)

Maybe it was just about long blond hair huh.gif ??


So what were yours ? (Don't be ashamed to confess... tongue.gif )
Oddball
I am a little kid, so I'll list some of my favourite nowadays tongue.gif :

Oasis - the importance of being idle / champagne supernova

Queen - Noone but you / Bo Rhap

Red Hot Chili Peppers - can't stop.


Just a few to start the ball rolling.
crazy_purple_piano_freak
Chilli Peppers: Under the Bridge

Oasis: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Dont look back in anger, Little by Little

Coldplay: Kingdom Come

Queen :Bohemian Rhapsody, Dont stop me now...lol

OPM :Heaven is a Halfpipe

Hanson: mmm Bop

Is that enough? I can probably think of more...oh yes... Blink182:All the Small things

and Everclear: I will buy you a new life!

Well, when I was between 3 and 6 I really only liked children’s songs that I could sing along. My favorites where the Dutch kids choir "Kinderen voor kinderen" (Kids for Kids) and the clowns duo "Bassie en Adriaan", but those might not be well-known on this forum biggrin.gif

Arrghh! The Spice Girls!

My sister put on their songs TOO MUCH when she was younger: the sad part is that I can remember all of them, and most of the lyrics too!

Songs from when I was younger though, I can only really think of Oasis, who still rock...I guess I just pushed all that cheesy 90s pop to the back of my mind...

Ha Ha!

I loved that piece.

Everyone raves about the way she came on all done up for "You're the one that I want" but I remember thinking, "What have you done to yourself Sandy!"

-probably getting in some practise for my own daughter later. laugh.gif

Surprisingly Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog was one of my favs too when I was young. biggrin.gif

Tell me about it !
"Kinderen voor kinderen" was indeed very popular, and I liked it too.
As for "Bassie en Adriaan", this was definitely not my style tongue.gif .

B*WItched - C'est La Vie. Come on it may be cheesy but you've got to admit it was class, so bouncy!

I gotta admit, I still enjoy a bit of Spice Girls every now and again. Real dancing around the bedroom singing into a hairbrush kinda music.

So it's not Beethoven....and???
