If you were born in 1965, you got to enjoy a pretty amazing era of music. The 1970s<\/a> produced some absolutely stellar tunes, especially in the world of rock music. And if you\u2019ve got a good memory, the following three songs that came out during your childhood might just ring a bell. Let\u2019s look at a few songs that are super nostalgic for people born in 1965, shall we?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ballroom Blitz\u201d by Sweet (1975)<\/p>\n

This glam rock classic by the band Sweet dropped way back in 1973. If you\u2019re American, though, you probably didn\u2019t hear it until it was released in the US in 1975.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sweet really dominated glam rock in the UK for a hot minute in the 1970s, and \u201cThe Ballroom Blitz\u201d is just one of many super memorable songs by them. However, if you were a kid in the early 70s, you probably heard this No. 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, specifically, via the radio quite often.<\/p>\n

\u201cPopcorn\u201d by Hot Butter (1972)<\/p>\n

This song doesn\u2019t have any words, considering it\u2019s a wholly instrumental track. However, if you were an early lover of synthesizers, you might just clock this synth-pop tune right away. This song was originally put together by Gershon Kingsley in the late 1960s using a Moog synthesizer. However, Hot Butter\u2019s version from 1972 might be the version you remember most.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was an international hit and made it all the way to No. 9 on the Hot 100 that year. Many consider Hot Butter\u2019s version of \u201cPopcorn\u201d to be proto-disco, too. Ah, music history!<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Water\u201d by The Doobie Brothers (1974)<\/p>\n

When it comes to nostalgic songs to people born in 1965, leaving out The Doobie Brothers would be a cardinal sin. I went with \u201cBlack Water\u201d from the 1974 album What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits. This is a pretty important song, as it was the group\u2019s first No. 1 hit single of their career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a solid roots rock gem. And if you enjoyed watching the ABC sitcom What\u2019s Happening!! as a kid, you might remember the band performing this tune during their two-episode appearance on the show. The Doobie Brothers really knew how to do harmonies well, and this song is an excellent example of that talent.<\/p>\n
