What's the first pop song you can remember ever hearing on the radio?

Mine is "Little White Bull" by Tommy Steele.

I have none... my parents only played rock and I never listened to pop music on the radio.

Oh so droll.

Or perhaps your parent's taste destroyed your memory?

My sister playing "God Save The Queen" by the Sex Pistols for me over and over. It was on a CD she got from a magazine or something... Could've also been a mixtape. I don't remember completely.

Hm, it could've even been an album she borrowed.

Edit: Ah, I didn't notice the "Pop" part of the topic title. Oh well, this is still my first memory of listening to any music, so there.

Or perhaps they were hiding the GOOD music, Metallica, early System of a Down...

Probably because I can't remember, unless you count the J-pop I listen to, which isn't played on North American radio.

OK. I told you that Tommy Steele recorded Little White Bull, but I can't remember who recorded the first music I remember.

It was called - "Magic Moments" and it was utter crap crooner stuff.
Cannot think of a name

Well the oldest pop music I've heard was George Formby (heard at a young age at my grandmother's though that may have been an LP)

Probably something by S Club 7 if that's not allowed.

Errinundera']How old are you?

I turn 34 in a couple of weeks, but according to a poll yesterday, I'd have to peg the avergage age around here at about 19 or 20.

Which makes you about the same age as me (as I could have guessed by the first song you remember).

"knowing me knowing you" by ABBA (heard on the radio in my moms car while waiting for my DAD's train at the localstation)
or "YMCA" by the Village People (more a visual memory of them performing it on television and my grandparents muttering their disguist at the state of modern music).:rolleyes:
