Soundtrack to my childhood

Have you ever been somewhere and suddenly a song comes on and it reminds you of your childhood? I love those moments. Here's a little list I compiled of songs that remind me of being a kid because my parents played them around the house and what not.

1. Tainted Love- Soft Cell
They played this song at the playground that I went to when I was in elementary school. Good stuff

2. Your Wildest Dreams- The Moody Blues
I remember listening to this song on the way to the Outer Banks in the car with my mom.

3. Return to Pooh Corner- Kenny Loggins
I can honestly say that I love this song. It hits home and makes me long for those days of being a little kid.

4. Tusk- Fleetwood Mac
This was my FAVORITE song as a kid. My mom always tells a story about this song. Story goes that we were at the library and all the kindergarden kids (including myself) went around a circle saying their favorite song. All of the kids were along the lines of The Itsy Bitsy Spider or the Barney theme song. But not little Katie Hinish. I proudly said "Tusk! by Fleetwood Mac" and all of the parents stared at me and my mother.

5. Staying Alive- Bee Gees
I remember my sister and I loving this song. We would try to sing just like them, but often just sounded ridiculous.

6. Copperline- James Taylor
Anything by James Taylor reminds me of being a kid. My dad was always playing his music during car rides and my sister and I would pick our favorites.
