Who would narrate the documentary of your life?

Thal beat me to it, but...David Attenborough.

Which song, when heard always takes you back to your childhood?

Strawberry Wine - Deana Carter. It was on one of the first albums I got as a kid. I didn't get the song then, but I do now. Either that, or Ace of Base - The Sign, because it was the first cassette I had, and me and my best friend used to dance to it in her living room when we were six.

werewolves of london, it played all of the time on the radio and stuck with me for a long time when I was in third grade, my grandfather made me spend hours in my bedroom learning times tables, I never did really get those down, (figured the math out, but don't have the memorization ability.) but the song I remember quite clearly, it made me happy...

War Pigs by Black Sabbath.

I don't know how, or why, but as a small child I loved that song. It was still getting radio play on the mainstream rock stations in '75 or '76. I think in my mind I associated it with the Night on Bald Mountain scene from Disney's Fantasia that they would show during the Disney Hallowe'en Special.

I also remember Wolfman Jack being on the radio, lol.

The theme from Rawhide... or Gunsmoke, or Have Gun Will Travel, or Bonanza, or any of the popular westerns of the late '50s and '60s... spent many a happy hour with my Grampa watching westerns...

Which song, when heard always takes you back to your childhood?

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper, because my mom *loved her* and my BFF and I liked to watch the movie over and over and over and over @ slumber parties. Also, In-a-gadda-da-vida (or however the heck you spell it)...because my dad would listen to it, and I loved it. It was one of the few truly bonding things we had.

Grease is the word. I remember me and my cousins playing the album all day during the summer. We would dance in the living room to it.

Which song, when heard always takes you back to your childhood?

Country Boy by Ricky Skaggs. I remember loving that song as a kid... and my mother jokes that my first words were "Ricky Skaggs"

edit: shoulda linked to the Grand Ol' Opry performance instead.

EVERYBODY SOLO!

Sailing by Christopher Cross. It was my dad's favorite song.

I liked that song when I was a kid, too.

Let's see, as a young kid it would have been Michael Jackson's Thriller, Madonna's Like a Prayer, and Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. My mom watched MTV a lot and I was always very fascinated with those videos.

As a teenager it would be The Church's Under the Milky Way, Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart, and Bauhaus's entire Crackle and The Sky's Gone Out albums. Of course, I still love those three bands. The whole soundtrack to Donnie Darko is also a ticket to the best years of my young life.

Which song, when heard always takes you back to your childhood?

Anything by Queen or Credence Clearwater Revival. Or Daddy Cool. Or Cold Chisel.

Not because they were current to my childhood, but because my parents played them to death.

Credence was my mum's housecleaning record... she'd put the (yes vinyl) record on and we'd scrub the house from top to bottom.

Queen's Greatest Hits... blaring from the speakers in our little blue Herbie car... windows down... the dogs leaning over the seats and hanging their heads out either window (a boxer and a mini foxy). We played that cassette until it died and spilled it's little cassette guts out into a terrible mess of tape-entrails.
