:D

This thread makes me so happy! Thank you to everyone who has contributed with their childhood nostalgia. Great seeing so many artists I also used to listen to when I was younger and also in my teens.

*Feels like giving everyone one a huge nostalgia hug* :hug:

holy cow, this is the best thread ever. i love thinking about the music that reminds me of being little...cause it was the greatest ever and i still listen to it! lol

some favorites:
slide - goo goo dolls
save tonight - eagle eye cherry
two princes - spin doctors
anything by n*sync
i'm a believer & allstar - smash mouth
when i come around - green day
semi-charmed life - third eye blind (who knew that song was about sex and hard drugs? it sounds so happy)
pretty much anything old-school from matchbox twenty.

man, i know there are so many more. i'll probably be back...

Ooh I've thought of another one.

Whigfield's Saturday Night - everyone would sing that at school when I was about 8:

And about the same time there was the Macarena too :D

From age 7 to 18 I pretty much listened to what my brother listened to, lol.
Started of with listening to his Eurodance and Bubblegum dance.
Then he listened to other forms of dance music, and around 1999-2000 we started to find Trance music, Acid and other less pop sounding genres (compared to above, lol).
I also ventured into Rap music at the end and beginning of the Millenium with Will Smith, Petter, Eminem and Xzibit.

Why did you all have such an awesome music taste as kids...I can honestly say I mine was a tad bit weird :lol:

Still love this T.a.T.u. song though..it's just so great.. :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muJaDZA-_Bk

A-Teens, a sort of dance ABBA cover ( cover of Super Trooper) ZOMG...I remember bouncing around on this :lol: And being very hyper! And eating grass for some weird bet while listening to this..omg...the 90s vibe is killing me :lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPU6xa82 ... re=related

But this one..this still makes me hyper :P More A-Teens. I used to listen to this one all the time :teehee: Halfway around the world, hahahah :D I have to admit that i still love it! :blush: :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7WhO8Go ... re=related

..who am I kidding? This song is awesome! :lol:


And my S-Club 7 fandom. :blush: :laugh:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POEzC0UMVxM - Bring it all back ♥ :lol: It's catchy... :blush: and the best advice ever.. :P Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you

Hold on to what you try to be
Your in-di-vi-dual-ity
When the world is on your shoulders
Just smile and let it go
:D :lol:


I was 10, almost 11 when this was released...and loved it SO much..it made me bounce around the room..in fact, it still does! :lol:
It's raining men - :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyyBGjKA ... re=related

And oh my...I loved Britney Spears... :blush: :blush: I mean, she wasn't THAT weird back then :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unBACOHFXes - Oops I did it again :lol: oh...arrgg.. * remembers walking around with a walkman with a Britney cassette* :blush: Hmpf. :blink: :lol: ...and not getting why my older cousin pulled a weird face and said she didn't like Britney's style.. I was so ignorant about anything with sexual intentions :P Well, what could you expect from a child that grew up with a) boys b) animals. Not exactly where you learn what other people consider oversexed :lol: I just saw a cool space shuttle and a guy who looked a whole lot like my favorite Ken :laugh:


OMG A*Teens & Britney & S Club 7!! I was SOOOO there too!! :D:D:D:D :lol: Hahahahaha! I actually still have a-teens on my ipod & listen to it!! :P lol

Other than the previously mentioned ^^ I was a HUGE Backstreet Boys fan. I worshipped them. Also, there was N*Sync [I still can't believe Justin Timberlake used to be a part of that and is still famous]...SPICE GIRLS...Aaron Carter! This list could go on for a while...I actually have a playlist on my ipod right now called "Childhood Memories" with a bunch of stuff that I used to listen to. Haha :lol:

It's funny, I haven't even heard of most of the songs you all have mentioned. :P

My parents don't and didn't listen to contemporary stuff, really, so I grew up with pretty unknown tunes around...whoever said the Donut Man made me laugh, we used to watch that all the time!
For me there was Rick Charette, a children's singer from my area. I still like to listen to the old tapes, and genuinely think that many of his songs written for kids are better than the songs out there for adults.
And then there was classical. I was weaned on Rachmaninov and Bach. :)

Ah-ha, this is a neat thread. Here are some of mine.

Roll With It - Oasis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMztZ6LFM1o
[I remember dancing around the dining room to this when I was about 4.]

Alright - Supergrass
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_e4PxtQ-Fw

The Great Beyond - R.E.M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKoojD_ED8o

Venus as a Boy - Björk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXXckQcW-_0
[It should probably be noted that the lyrics for this are a little questionable.]

Starman - David Bowie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEQPotlZr-0

Saturday Night - Whigfield
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xcmBaRAj7FU
[I remember my cousin and I doing this in her lounge one Christmas.]

There are loads more, but they're normally from Oasis and R.E.M - I was listening to those two bands before I was even born. However, there's the usual suspects like S Club 7 [Reach for the Stars], and Steps [Tragedy!] and Britney Spears [Hit me Baby One More Time]...dear lord! :lol: My tastes have definitely changed and broadened a lot. :P So yup, there's a few of mine. :happy:

lets see...

The Hamster Dance... for sure. Always a fave

Back Street Boys... i didn't really like them, but hearing one of their songs reminds me of eating ice cream in the park at age 7 or 8

Britney Spears and Christina Aguliera, me and my best friend always enjoyed bashing their clothing, or lack of... and their music.

Mambo Number 5 or whatever it was... I always wondered(and still do), what happened to the others Mambos...

And here I thought I was the only one who remembered the Donut Man. :blink: :lol:

I forgot to mention that I lived on a steady diet of Disney from about age 4 on. So I still know 99% of the lyrics to most of the classic animated movies now. :P
