Definitely Dancing Queen and various songs off of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. For ages, I thought the Bee Gees were women.
Me too, the "i'm a woman's man" line used to baffle me completely.

I remember when Waterloo won the Eurovision song contest, definitely one of my earliest musical memories, c.5 or 6. People went batshit for the Eurovision back then. Inexplicably, some still do.

Because it's spectacularly campy.

Three songs that became embedded in my memory bank when I was about 3, purely from radio play (If I hear them even now it triggers some sort of primeval memory response, unlike any other music of the same vintage):

Penny Lane (Beatles)
These Boots Were Made For Walking (Nancy Sinatra)
Cinderella Rockefeller (!!!!) (Esther and Abi Ofarim)

I think I had a pretty good pair of ears even then 😁

Well, with that hair, how could anyone tell the difference? said some crusty old woman, probably.

It would have been on one of my Dad's few cassettes in the car (that were endlessly played) which whittles it down to Phil Collins, Steeleye Span, Wings, 10cc or some 70s compilation opening with December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) by The Four Seasons. Yeah, think I'll go with that.
