My First Musical Memory

What is the first song that you remember hearing? I don’t mean a song for children. I mean a popular song that you can hear on the radio. I remember hearing “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley when I was three years old. I didn’t hear it in my own house. My sister and I were too young to listen to popular music on the radio, and my parents didn’t like rock ‘n’ roll. However, there was a girl living next to us who loved Elvis. She had a small record player in her garage, and she played the song almost every day. When I became a teenager, I was the same. I was crazy about the Beatles and listened to their records all the time! (127 words)
