Summarize your childhood in one song

Okay, so, in the early 2000s package family holidays to places like Majorca were really popular in the uk. When I was around 5 we went on one such trip with Thompson holidays. I don't remember much except that it was hot and there wad a dead hornet in the swimming pool. Oh and I think I might have eaten too many jelly babies and thrown up at some point.
Anyway.
They had a 'show' every night where some poor saps would play music and sing in the 'auditorium' after dinner. There was a CD and myparents, the fools, bought one. This was on that CD, along with Who let the Dogs out, The Time Warp (a song which my parents played at every single one of my birthday parties, and to which they taught all the children in attendance the accompanying dance), The Witch doctor, Agadou, and many other equally heinous offerings. I made my mum play the CD in the car, in the kitchen while we were cooking, and many more times until I finally grew out of it.
 
Sums up my childhood pretty well...in fact, this song could be an allegory for the entire mess that is my life.

 
A song that sums up my childhood? That's hard to decide, but if I must choose a song it would be this one:


I won't say much because I don't want to powerlevel but I'll say that I didn't have the best of childhoods. While this song doesn't have lyrics I feel that it sums up my emotions at the time quite well.

Too many dysfunctional family songs to choose from. So I'll pick this classic to sum it up nicely.

 
This more or less sums up the area and culture I knew as a kid.


Part of me wants to return back to the mountains, but I know it will never be the same as it was when I was growing up.

ska was popular, everyone had spiky hair, avril lavigne was cute, the brief period before 9/11

reminds me of my home and school life

A big part of my childhood consisted of me watching my brother play ps2 or the Nintendo 64. Feeling the feels.
