30 Day Song Challenge: Day 29

A song from my childhood

Old Time Rock N’ Roll by Bob Seger. From the album Stranger In Town.

This song is my childhood. I first heard it when I was only 4 or 5 and still living in Brisbane. It was on  a kids rock and roll tape (yeah, tapes were still big back in 93′) that Mum got for me one day. Mum and Dad were probably sick to death of that tape a couple of weeks after it entered the house because I listened to it non-stop multiple times a day!

Anyway, the tape followed us down to Tasmania and I kept listening to it. Eventually it got lost but to this day the song brings back snippets of memory from my early years. There were a few other songs on the tape as well, the only one I can remember though is In the Jungle – which is probably equally as much of a childhood anthem for me.

When I hear the song I remember things like mum (who is a nurse) teaching me to do CPR on my teddy, Blue Ted (who I still have). I remember burning blue teds foot on the oven stove top – that was a devastating, I’m still getting over the guilt. Another couple of  happy memory are playing with my play dough (the legit stuff, it was delicious) and helping mum out in the kitchen.

Anyway my nostalgia has to end at some point, lets make it now.

Thanks for reading, last day tomorrow

P.s. I still haven’t gotten any suggestions for what I should blog on next. Leave any requests or suggestions in the comments and I’ll give them a go
