Songs I Know The Words To Even As A Child
Soundtrack Of My Life

February 9, 2020
The radio station I listen to had a question on Friday that I thought was intriguing: what song did you know all the words to as a child? I have two. Both I heard over at my babysitter's place. She had 5 children, all older than me and many of them teenagers by the time I was 5. I loved these songs. Many we're played on their stereo system, but some from the radio.
The first was Benny and the Jets. It was my first Elton John song and I have loved his songs ever since. It's from the album Yellow Brick Road which is a classic.



And for fun.... mixing up the lyrics in 27 Dresses. I love this movie.

The second song seems weird for a 5 year old to be singing, but I loved the story within the song. The 70's had a lot of songs with a story in them. Interesting even at that age the song's message resonated with me. I was not going to be one of those petty, materialistic villagers. Love and harmony were my thing.
I hadn't realized it was originally written and sung by a Canadian group - The Original Caste. The video is cool too.
