A Blast from the Past:

Yes, I recently played Johnny Mathis on utube, knew all the words to most of his songs

That happens to me too.
I was quite shocked yesterday, after having looked up Fats Waller songs, to see "Little Curly Head in a Highchair" and remember the words - we must have sung it when my younger sister was born, in 1944.

I can remember the words to all the hymns that we sang at Sunday School but my voice is very gruff isn't quite a sweet as it was is those days.

Yes I can remember all the hymns and I miss singing them. Our church is all modern now - guitars and stuff Yuk- love a good Wesleyan hymn.

I can sing lots of music hall songs as my grandmother used to sing them to us.

I was singing to Elvis s Wooden heart and could remember the German bits although I don’t speak German
I knew a lady with dementia who used to sing all the east end pub songs like ‘roll out the barrel’ and ‘doing the Lambeth walk’ etc word perfect

The old hymns, always, and I love singing them. We sang a couple at our local outdoor memorial service recently - it was obvious that the older contingent didn't need the hymn sheet. My voice was never sweet, oldgoat!

I'm always surprised at how many words I remember to songs I've never even liked. I like to sing along, and see how far I can get before it becomes hazy.

I can remember the older songs and I hear them relatively frequently because I enjoy listening to them. It is being able to remember the words of the hymns we sang at school that amazes me as I am not religious so never listen to them.

I can still sing along to all my Motown favourites, and I do, much to my families dispair.
I never could sing in tune

Christmas carols, all the old hymns and lots of 60s songs. DH says I sing carols all year when I am doing housework or cooking. ??

I often sing Morning Town Ride to my little DGS.

The Carnival is Over is one of my favourites
I don't like many female vocalists.
But I do like listening to Judith Durham and aso Karen Carpenter.

Oh I love the Seekers. All thos songs mentioned above. 'Hey there Georgie girl' and The Carnival is Over are particular favourites. Such memories.

Anything by Nat King Cole. What a voice!
