Blue - Eiffel 65. I was ~6 when I discovered it. My poor mother had to listen to that on repeat. I ended up growing up with severe depression. I guess I really am blue.
That whole album was and is definitely worth the listen. It may begin and end with Blue, but there is quite a range of emotions and messages. When I was young, Blue was my favorite, but as I grew up, different songs started to resonate with me.
Track 02 = anti-consumerism Track 04 = anti-selfish realism Track 07 = love triangle heartbreak Track 10 = optimism, encouragement, and hope

Lyrics from Track 10 - Now is Forever
we should think about, what we got right now, cause the good things are made up of time. smile to your problems, leave the past behind. never forget this. find the truth in your soul, keeping you alive. going on from minute to minute. don’t shade the future, with all that’s behind. live for today. […] don’t shade your future, with what you don’t have. keep your mind on what’s here today. now and forever, build the future now. keep this mind. though you will take your time, to get what you need, but you’ll do it step after step. yet to come is all that’s gone, learn to live this moment. live for today. […] the past is all that’s gone (the past is all that’s gone) the future is yet to come. (and the future’s yet to come) this moment is all our own. (you know it is) we should live this way, just building up our day, now is forever. the past is all that’s gone, (the past is all that’s gone) the future is yet to come. (the future is yet to come) this moment is all our own. we should live this way, just building up our day, now is forever.
I hope the spoiler tags work properly for everyone. Otherwise, sorry for the long comment.
Don’t feel too bad. I’m certain that at least 100 million mothers had to hear that song on repeat, from across the world. It was HUGE amongst the kids at my school in the US.
According to my parents, it was I Got My Mind Set On You by George Harrison. I was a toddler and apparently loved that song.
But the first one I distinctly remember was the B-52’s Love Shack.
I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys
Tell me why
Epic by Faith No More. I was a little kid, all right?
Nothing wrong with that, it’s a great song.
I’d listen to that song on repeat as a kid just for the piano section at the end.
MTV had that song on repeat every hour. I got so sick of it.
That didn’t stop me from going to see them. It was my first real concert, aged 12. My big brother took me.
“Another One Bites the Dust”
— Queen
Don’t Speak by No Doubt.
It was the first time I actively listened to a sad song, and while I was only 4 or so, and couldn’t really understand what the lyrics were about, I remember the emotion feeling so powerful. The radio station that played it went off air when I was 5, and I cried about it a lot. To this day I gravitate toward sad songs; there’s just something about minor chords that I can’t get enough of.
My favorite key is C natural minor, even with even tempered tubing, songs in this key sound like they are revealing mysteries and I love it.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm is in this key. It’s great.
Beth - Kiss.
FWIW, I’m 23 and I believe this was 2004.
This is a weird one. It’s a song called Please pass the biscuits. I couldn’t even hum the melody for it, it’s been so long since I heard it.
Before I was old enough to go to school, (early 80s) my brother would play our parents records, and my dad had a 45 of this biscuit song. The song is the story of this kid who really loves biscuits. His family makes biscuits every Sunday and he’s looking forward to it, but nobody hears him when he asks for the biscuits, and he doesn’t get any.
I thought it was a pretty funny song, so I played it often.
Gangsters Paradise - Coolio
I was given a bunch of CDs with random songs on them, and that was on there. It was the song I played on repeat the most.
“Faster than the Speed of Life” - Steppenwolf
Move it on Over - George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Grew up on his music because my dad controlled the car radio, as a little 4-5 year old I even had a whole dance to it not knowing what the song was actually about, hahaha
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger
Used to have a little toy guitar and would strum it while wearing oversized sunglasses with my favorite cousin while the song was blaring. Adults loved it
Good Vibrations or Here Comes the Sun, my parents would let me use their walkmans (walkmen?) when I would play Commander Keen and Jill of the Jungle. It was a blast
