Anybody remember I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in?

That was my favorite song as a little kid. My dad had a speaker phone system that recorded us singing, and we'd 'try' to sing that song as a little kid, my brother and I. I was probably at most 4-5 years old, and my brother 2-3 years old. It didn't sound like the song, and we'd laugh for hours. It's one of those memories you only remember dimly from childhood.
