There really are quite a few for me. This one really stands out, though. I remember the night I sat at my Dad’s workbench in the garage while he was working on stuff. This song came on the radio, and for some reason, it just cemented that moment in my memory.

I loved her back in the 80s when I was a kid. I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world and coolest. Now I don’t really think that about her. @Spoiledbrat
@Sidewinder my dad was a big fan before he died. He loved them. they were what shaped me and my tastes in music. pure genius until they got weird. I went to London and Abbey Road a couple years ago
There are so many songs that remind me of my childhood, that I really can't narrow it down to just one. As a child growing up, I always listened to the radio, every morning at breakfast, whether it was on a school day, or on the weekend.
My grandpa sang this a lot when everyone in the family was little. And someone recorded him singing it. And played it at his funeral 😞 this is just a youtu vid not my grandpa btw[media=https://youtu.be/peywDg59XTQ]
Back in the old days of Disneyland of the 1960's there was a gypsy area of fronterland. Underneath a tent there was a performance of this song. I don't know why, the closest roots my family has to Russia is Ukraine in the Odessa area. Yet this song reminds me of both.
Made a post of a far older version of this once with translation...
Jumping jack flash Stones Circa 67-68? I had a band and we played out version but trying to stay cover. 13-14 year old don't get deep voices. Perhaps you have heard of us. Ha hahahahaha it dialing for dollars is looking for Janis Joplin maybe Hard rock is looking for.. I'm not that high.
This song will always remind me of family get togethers when my parents would have my uncles and aunts over to visit. [media=https://youtu.be/PAxb1vnb520]
