    what was your favourite song dating back to your childhood. Mine would be Sugar Baby Love by the Rubettes. Falsetto vocal at the beginning was amazing.

    Baby Love by The Supremes. I was 5 when i started to play it on my own. My parents bought the single in I think 1964. I played back to back til my mother hid it

    Paul McCartney & the Frog Chorus - We All Stand Together

    And I still rank it above pretty much anything else he's been involved in.

    Definitely one of mine.

    Also really liked "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx and some Chris de Burgh songs I can't bring myself to admit to. Bear in mind it was the 80s.

    Santo and johnny - sleepwalkers. Heard it on the movie sleep walkers when i was probably 6 or 7, the scene where the girl is forced to dance with charles dead body.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWJ4FOCgw-8&feature=related
    You can kind of hear it in the background. Great stuff, never forgot it.

    I adored Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I used to dress up in my ballet gear and dance around the kitchen.

    Seem to be a bit young for this thread but mine is probably Someday by the Strokes. It just encapsulates a period for me and it always evokes happy memories when I hear it.
