elionwyr asks a question I think I'll repeat: "what is the first song you remember learning? Or the first pop song you can recall recognizing/enjoying?"

For my part, the first song I remember enjoying was "Day By Day" from Godspell; the first song I actually remember being taught was from Sunday school:

J-O-Y, J-O-Y, surely that must mean

Jesus first, and yourself last,

and others in between.

The first song I remember having a strong emotion from was "How Deep is Your Love" by the Bee Gees. Being 6, I didn't really understand the words, but I knew it meant something emotionally very important, and it touched me.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
He was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
but I helped him drink his wine . . .
and he always had some mighty fine wine

Singin'
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
and Joy to you and me!

I believe that was done by 3 Dog Night, but I'd have to google it to be sure

Mine would be Jesus Christ Superstar. I knew the whole thing by kindergarten. It's my Dad's favorite movie/slash album. That or The Lemon tree song by Peter Paul and Mary. I guess my folks didn't go in for kid music exactly.
