What favorite song from your childhood stands the test of time?

Go out to YouTube or some other source and find us a song you truly adored as a child and couldn’t get enough of hearing. If possible, find the same performance of it that used to drive your parents nuts.

Post the link to it and tell us: is this song still as great as you thought it was when you were a kid? Does it still do it for you? Are you thrilled to hear it again?

Or—are you mortified to own up to it and wish you didn’t have it stuck in your head now?

If you don’t mind, give us some idea of the decade in which you were a kid listening to it.

I did this last night, and I have to say—yes! This song, this selfsame recording, was my favorite, hands down, for years sometime in the 1950s, and it is still among the greats. I sang along with gusto as if I’d last heard it only yesterday and not some thirty years ago.

I just wish this version didn’t clip the very last syllable.
