Friday Five IV

It's been a while! I haven't really had anything special to post about for a long time and haven't really been feeling like posting anything either, but, well, I feel like it now and the new Friday Five is music related again. Aalso, I have an hour to kill before an exercise class I'm TAing, which isn't enough for anything productive (I'm also full of pizza so I couldn't be bothered anyways ^_^').

1) What is the first song you remember from your childhood?

It's difficult to figure out the relative times of these, so I'll just link a few possibilities:

1) Recorded children's music: Eg. This song by a band that makes (made?) children's songs, I had a VHS that had a story for every song (this is a version of a "lion-hunting song" where they end up running away because lions are scary).

2) Non-recorded children's music: Eg. A bedtime song my mum sang to me.

3) TV theme songs: Eg. The Moomin theme, since it's is a show for every Finnish kid born in the 90s watched.

I know my parents also made me listen to Mozart when I was a baby, but I don't remember that, and there is also pop music I was subjected to, but it's hard to time any of the songs >_>

2) What is the first music you purchased with your own money?

Probably Dir en grey's Withering to death (2005). I must've been given some CDs as presents before that, but I never really got *that* into music before getting into J-music.

3) What's a piece of music that you know by heart?

Like, the lyrics? Waaaaay too many to count, hah!

4) What's a song that makes you turn off the music right away?

I very very rarely listen to radio, and when I do, I'm not the one controlling it (so I can't turn it away). And I obviously don't have songs I dislike that much on my PC...

5) And why?

N/A, see previous answer :(


Ok, that took a good 30 minutes, excellent!

Aside from songs at nursery school and on TV, I remember wearing my dad's massive headphones to listen to music, and this was one song I used to sing to myself a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T6e3GJCjow (came out when I was 4 apparently)

I'm pretty certain my parents made me listen to Mozart too XD

Yay for Pizza Friday!

Oh, so that's what this song is called! I know it well enough, but knew neither title nor artist.

Hotdogs with tennis-socks! LOL

I always forget the artist and title, I had to google "hot dog jumping frog" to find it XD

I remember the first CD I bought with my very own money... No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom. Still a solid album to this day.

I was born in the 80s so I have a penchant for 80s and 90s alternative too.

I had a cassette filled suitcase that I jacked from my folks as a kid. As such things like Genesis, The Police, Supertramp and The Bangles were a big part of my formative years.

I remember singing and dancing to Sharon Lois & Bram songs as a little tyke. They were local to me but ended up getting huge and were a staple for all small Canadian children for many many years.
