Default Your oldest favorite song you can remember singing to on the radio as a child

So here I am driving back to Maryland visiting family in New Jersey and some lyrics popped in my head of a song I can remember singing when I was about 6 or 7 years old on the radio when I lived in York New Jersey Stevie Wonder's there's a place in the Sun. Post your favorite song that you can remember from when you are a child and find it on YouTube.

White Christmas by Bing Crosby and it was well before Stevie Wonder was born.

You remember songs from when you were 67 years old?

How old are you now?

As for the thread title: I don't recall any specific song, but remember the groups:

Ventures, Beach Boys, early Beatles, Supremes, Platters, Byrds, Dionne Warwick, too many to list.

Ha, I remember laying in bed with my new wife, listening to that on a 45 we'd bought. This was after we did other things in bed . . .

The old memory is a bit hazy, but that was a long song . . . so I believe "the flip side" of the 45 was the second half of the song. Can any of you old coots confirm?

Hey thanks! I guess senility has not set in yet.

Life would be a dream

If I could take you up in paradise up above.

And you would tell me I'm the only one that you love

Life would be a dream, sweetheart.

Hello, hello again

Sha-Boom, Sha-Boom we'll meet again.

Sixty Minute Man ....

Billy Ward and his Dominoes

Sixty-minute man, sixty-minute man
Look a here girls I'm telling you now
They call me "Lovin' Dan"
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man
If you don't believe I'm all that I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go you'll cry "Oh yes"
"He's a sixty-minute man".
There'll be 15 minutes of kissing
Then you'll holler "Please don't stop" (Don't stop !)
There'll be 15 minutes of teasing
And 15 minutes of squeezing
And 15 minutes of blowing my top ...
