Songs that take you back

[silverjm]

What are the songs that bring back a very specific memory for you?  

The haiku made me think of this.  Whoomp There It Is always brings me back to riding the Cyclone on Coney Island the summer of '93. I was there with a church work group and everyone on the ride was singing it.  It always stands out as one of those golden memories for me.

Black Hole Sun will always be at my BFF's sunbathing in the back yard.

the first time I heard that I was watching Bevis and Butthead. Haha. If I hear jimmy Buffett or bob marley I always think of hanging out by the pool or lake.

Basically any 90's song takes me back to my jr and sr high school days.

Two Become One by the Spice Girls takes me back to my first sexual experience.

We used to cruise to This Is How We Do It.

OMG DH and I were just talking about the Apple Bottom Jeans and how Hoda from today will forever be associated with it. She said back when it was popular that she works out to it and was busting some moves.

"Celebrity Skin" & "Malibu" by Hole take me back to cruising for boys with my BFF.

Here Comes the Sun always makes me think of my godfather.

Hypnotize- biggie smalls brings me "way" back 97 baby high school... always in the car when this comes on I have to turn it up!
Give me that Nut- Easy E high school hahaha drinking in the Summer with my friends at a party and eyeing my ex... I went on my first date with him the following week
Ghetto Bird- Ice Cube- high school cruising with my best friend, Nicole
Sabotage-Beastie Boys-college and my best friend Nicole going to UMass Amherst to see my ex
Anything by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or Tom Petty make me think of college and late high school.
Black Hole Sun reminds me of the summer before Sophomore year sitting at Lake Winniepausaukee at my high school boyfriend's summer house while he went on "runs" with this bitch, Kate hahaha

There are many others I just cannot think of them right now.

Big Pimpin - we used to drive around and blare it, and we knew all the words...thought we were so cool!!
That song Like whoa....I forget what it's called? I used to work at a hockey equip shop and that song was so popular and we made up this whole rap up about working there like whoa...
When I was in college I loved that song Hey Ma, and for some reason all my friends said that song made them think of me. I'm not sure if that was a good or a bad thing!

Lately I've been listening to a lot of late 90s/early 2000s music on Spotify, takes me back to my high school/college days!

R Kelly- Ignition makes me think of college. I LOVED that song. "it's the freakin weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun"

[browneyedhunni85]

Oh my gosh! I'm literally laughing out loud right now. It's suppose to say "getting down to that SONG". Haha!

Wow, silver are you in my head? I was literally wanting to do a thread like this this weekend. I was even tryin to come up with some sort of game to go along...

Any mid-late 90s music make me think of my late jr / early high school years. Spice girls, ace of base, the wallflowers, sublime, Dave Matthews band, cake, Fiona apple, counting crows...I've got a 90s playlist on my iPhone with some good stuff!

90s is probably my favorite go-to music to listen to. And cheesy 80s.
