Day 8: A song that reminds you of childhood

There are probably more songs that fit this category for me than any other.
My parents played excellent music for me the whole time that I was growing up, so there are many great songs that take me right back to childhood. And they never seemed to care if it was age-appropriate thematically (lol), as long as it was relatively "clean" on the surface... so I didn't 'really' understand lots of my childhood favourites until I was much older. (However, I decided to go with a completely "appropriate" song here.)
This one takes me back...

Joni Mitchell - Refuge of the Roads

Is it Elliot the moose? Because that’s what immediately came to my mind.

Damn! It’s the Log Driver’s Waltz…I’ll see if I can find another link other. Must be such a secret national treasure!

National Film Board... fuck yes... this really warms my icy little heart.

Day 8: A song that reminds you of childhood

My grandad would sing this to us, and sounded very similar to this recording. A life long teetotaler, he changed the words in a few places. Such as the little streams of alcohol became little streams of applesauce

Rancid "Time Bomb"

Takes me back to about 6th grade. I was hooked as soon as I heard this on my shitty little radio, late at night, using my GameBoy head phones (early version of earbuds back then) so that I didn't tip off my mom that I was still awake.

I can still remember watching MTV with my older cousins in the back room at grandma's house, and seeing her clutch her invisible pearls when she saw us watching this video.

Day 8: A song that reminds you of childhood

To be clear, it’s the time that the movie came out that reminds me of my childhood, not the subject of the movie the neighborhood kids spent a lot of summer afternoons re-creating the musical scenes in it.

When I was little I used to dress up as Superman and run around. This song grabbed me right away and paints a beautiful picture. One of the few songs I can think of that's moved me to tears. Just amazing.

Day 8: A song that reminds you of childhood

My parents had their greatest hits on 8 track and I remember this playing all the time while I sat in the rear facing seat of our station wagon

 

[Wonderer67]

I haven't heard that in decades.
I remember it, but hadn't heard or thought about it in ages.

I just showed this to my wife.

We own a wooded lot, and I take a lot of trees down and sell firewood. (Altho, never taking them down the stream). I know my way around that tool - a cant hook - before we buck (round) the logs, split them and then stack them.

Very cute. Never heard that song before.

I think I may have already posted this song once. But it’s a nice nostalgic look at the joys of childhood, before things became more complex and serious.
Now that my kids are grown, I long for some of those days myself…

My mom was a bit of a hippie. I listened to this 8 track over and over and over as a kid. Worse things to have driven into my psyche at a young age I suppose

Me too! I love those old NFB films.

You inspired my choice. I was trying to find a campfire song. There are no good recordings of "The Quartermaster's Store". But when I worked summers at a Boy Scout camp (yes, really), we ended staff campfires with this song

After "No, Nay Never" we sang "Bonne ca c'est bonne" French for "good, that's good"

Love this. My dad used to sing this to us kids when we were little and I sang this to mine.

It was a pretty radical song for back in the day.

He does not get nearly enough credit for how talented he is
