Twenty Songs

[lillibet]

greenquotebook inspired me to name twenty songs that might make up a playlist from my childhood and that seemed like fun. I don't have the patience to really curate a playlist, but here are the first twenty songs I can think of that I knew before I was twelve.

1) Saturday, in the Park
2) Sit Down, John
3) On Ilkla Moor Baht ‘at
4) What’s the Buzz
5) Monster Mash
6) Johnny Tremaine
7) I’d Really Love to See You Tonight
8) One Tin Soldier
9) Renegade
10) Let Love Keep Us Together
11) Spiderweb
12) Big Shot
13) Really Rosie
14) In the Mood
15) Hey There, Lonely Girl
16) The Party by Phil Ochs
17) My Favorite Things
18) Time in a Bottle
19) Take It on the Run
20) Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Numbers 18 and 20 nearly made my list as well. The Police are my all-time favorite band, and it seems wrong that they aren't on my list at all, but I really didn't get into them till I was beyond age 12, and that was the limit I put on my list. Glad to see I'm not the only sap who likes #7.

I put #20 in at the end, because I started listening to the Police in 7th grade, which puts them just under the wire. #18 was my middle sister's prom song. And she had the album for #7 that I listened to so often it's surprising I'm not Baha'i :)
