I think your love of words was evident even then :D

Here's my weird song.

Weird. Yet loved the show 🧙🏻‍♂

First time I heard a Theremin as a kid, which for that time was a weird musical instrument in 1966.

Yes the original Star trek had a Theremin yet it wasn't obvious.

Thinking about this, may account for why I like odd types of musical instruments. I really loved this show. 🙃

You said obscure and childhood...

I couldn't find anywhere that did it like my Mom taught me, but the simple song is posted below, except they say "clapping" where I'm used to saying "laughing" instead.

But my Mom's version is that every time you sang it, you had to sing it faster, and faster, and faster...

And when you were going super fast, it would song like it's bubbling (which the song is about bubbling), and you'd keep going until you couldn't keep up anymore or someone yelled and said that's enough lol

This one! It was released in '78 i believe, but it was a coulple of years later i discovered it....i was about 13 i guess! How very strange it is!
The radio edit doesn't have a long intro like the video...... i only found the video a few years ago!
Enjoy!

I was in the Cub Scouts all the way up to venturers. It was usually a 3 to 4 hour trip to any of the camps. We sung a lot of songs along the way. Most from a campfire song book that was printed in the 30's.

This hit the charrs when I was 8 or 9, still love it, not all that obscure though. [media=https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvk08pNwx9U&feature=shared]

My father played this and asked us what language it was. 😆 We didn't know. (It's our native language)

Songs by Homer and Jethro: "Waterloo" and "They Laid Him in the Ground" were two of my favorites.

This came out in 72 when I was 13.
It was the follow up to Nilsson Schmilsson

Horror Movie - Skyhooks
Released 50 years ago, it scared me so much as a child. I thought there were boogie men under my bed.
I would pull the blankets over me so there was no bare skin exposed.
