If you could bring out a cover of a song you loved as a kid what song would it be?

[Justinvs]

Rainy Day Feeling
Sounds of Silence
Little Willy Willy
Things We Do For Love

Oh god, I'm a zombie oldies show!

That one sticks in my head along with Puff the magic Dragon and yellow Submarine. i was about 3-5 yrs old.

Playground in my Mind. I had to babysit a tractor-driven water pump one summer (my first 'real job.' I think I was 10 or 11) and the only consolation was my old AM radio, and that song played constantly.

It's not from my childhood, but I'd love to do a cover of "Commissioning a Symphony in C." I play it solo on acoustic sometimes.

Nice! Loves me some CAKE. They have so many songs I'd love to do.

[Colo Springs E]

Not really from my childhood, but one I'd LOVE to cover:

[kinkstah]

David Bowie - Let's Dance. I was 12 when it was released. I was crazy about that song.

[telepathetic]

I'd love to re-do both of these gems....
The Music Explosion - Little Bit O' Soul... one of the great "garage band" songs.

Every Mothers Son - Come on down to My Boat, Baby... The timing in this song just fascinates me.

Check your eyes, geezer - yes that's the Smithereens I posted.

Oh man!

I had my first really great make-out session, with a really cute gal, to that song. Played over and over on a 45 single set to repeat.

Yowza.

(raises glass) here's a toast to super groovy hippie chicks.

I fell in love with the sea (or at least the idea of going to sea) right at that moment. Didn't run off and join the Navy, though...

Then you all tuned into my Badfinger thing.

Love that song. Pop-perfect. Can't imagine improvement. Maybe more horns.

[Ynosoidar]

Puff the Magic Dragon, had the pink 78 in the mid 60's.

Emitt Rhodes (the "other" Paul McCartney)

When I first heard this song it knocked me away. Love those crunchy guitar tones.

Emitt is definitely worth checking out.

[flathd]

Always liked this one..



I just noticed, was that Hugh Hefner that introduced the band?

Yeah, no wonder theres all the babes dancing there.

[rokdog49]

I would love to cover this and it's worth clicking on for all you late sixties early seventies music lovers:

I was in a band that played this, but next time I want to be the one playing the solo instead of just singing - I think I'll go away now and try learning it!
