Fuzzable Blogs: August 16 – Songs Which Remind Me Of My Childhood

Welcome back to my monthly Fuzzable blog! As this will be my last blog as a 26 year old, I wanted to share something which involved looking back at yesteryear.

Having already written a “letter to my 16 year old self” this time last year, I’ve been trying to think of a suitable and slightly less serious blog post to capture my younger days. Whilst I was clearing at my gran’s house, I came across an old MP3 player of mine which I’d given her many moons ago and like a bolt of lightning, inspiration struck.

The MP3 player only contained a few songs – Robson & Jerome’s Happy Days album, and ‘Schnappi das kleine Krokodil’. Strange combination, I know! However, it brought back so many memories. I used to listen to the Robson & Jerome album all the time with gran, with ‘Crying in the Rain’ being my favourite song, mainly because of the hilarious first-take version which was included on the album. The ‘Schnappi’ song was also a favourite after hearing it during a trip to Butlins with my mum.

The MP3 player got me thinking about all the songs I used to bop to whilst growing up. I’ve always been a huge lover of music, with pop music in particular stealing the biggest place in my heart. So, for August’s blog I thought I would share with you a playlist of songs which remind me of my childhood.

Of course you can expect the likes of the Steps (my first ever concert), S Club 7 and S Club Juniors (I used to learn their routines and I can still nail a few of them). However, this 68-track playlist is just made up of a random assortment of tracks that I listened to as a kid up until my early teens (and still bop to now on a regular basis).

Three things that I learnt about myself from putting together this playlist:

  1. I will always have a penchant for cheesy music
  2. Learning small raps will forever be my party piece
  3. I can still remember my favourite 90’s songs word for word, but I struggle to remember anything practical lol

I hope that you enjoy my 90’s/early 00’s throwback and find at least one song which you can completely lose yourself silly in and sing along to word for word!

Check out my playlist of songs which remind me of my childhood below.
