Hall and Oates circa 1982
"Family man" was on a tape loop in the Sports Club where I was a barman. It made me envy deaf people. Nowadays I just shudder as it reminds me of all the pretentious twats who I had to serve spritzers to. Cunts.

Songs...
Volare by Dean Martin brings back memories of eating Sunday lunch with the folks - we always had to have "Dad's Favourite Tunes" on the wireless radiogram - to the extent that I can actually taste and smell the food again. Other songs of the same era make me remember the dinners but only that one brings back the taste. Odd.

Only You - The Flying Pickets

Wasn't one of them Dr Who?

Movie-star by Stereophonics
reminds me of boarding a flight to Sydney Australia last May, as it was playing on the plane as i embarked. Had a wicked time too.

Shit song though. Annoying Welsh midget.

Bloody excellent that.

Kayleigh - Marillion
Reminds my of my first love, Nichola Fowler.

Bitch was frigid though, wouldn't give it up for anyone.

Then she dumped my for some bloke called Andrew - twunt. Gave him a slap for that I can tell you.

Thinking about it, I bloody hate that song.

Blue in the Face
by Alkaline trio, along with that nine inch nails song Hurt that johnny cash covered before he kicked the bucket reminds me of falling in love with a boy with a monobrow and pink hair,and those were his favourite songs at the time.
R.E.M. Losing my religion has some bad associations for me,the least of which dying my hair blonde.but hey, who DOESN'T have bad associations with that song?
The Supernatural Album by Santana reminds me of a long hot summer, and making out in my garden while the sun set...

Push
by The Cure
I was 17, she was Becky Tustian, my first older woman. OK, only 2 years older, but there are limits. This was 1989...

Ren and Stimpy, Happy Happy Joy Joy
It's not a song in the trad sense, but I'll never forget going to visit a mate in Leeds. We went to a club and got shit eating grinned up. The club was in a shopping centre and as we were shoved out at closing I bellowed Happy Happy and all the drunks cried Joy Joy. It echoed round this mall type place and we went on in this vein for some time. It really was a happy joyous moment.

Hmmm
Desire by U2 reminds me of when I crashed my car into a wall, it was playing at the time.

Until The End of The World by U2 reminds me of Bono's bum cos during this song at a gig his bum landed on my face as he half fell over onto me. Yay!

Anything by Girls Aloud reminds me of my friend's eejit of an ex because he liked them, just one more reason for me to dislike him. And them. And that goes for that bint Rachel Stevens too.

Pure Snores
Really cheesy, but always makes me both smile and want to cry - I was flying to Nepal for a holiday about six years ago and had fallen asleep with my walkman on. I woke up to that song as the sun came through my window and it was so so beautiful - flying over the Arabian Gulf, looking at the most incredible rose-pink sunrise.
Heaven.


No apologies for either length or liking All Saints - it was quite a long time ago.

Rise by PIL
reminds me of the first time I put my foot down and disagreed with my mother, because I thought it was an awesome song and she hated it. I was 10.

Oh, and Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine transports me to the two years I spent in university before dropping out (mainly due to the amount of time I wated in the uni bar, where this song was on a loop).

Baseball Bats and Mad Scots
Outer space by Prodigy reminds me of the time when a crazy sottish geezer decided to attack someone with a baseball bat in this hovel i was dossing over in. What made things worse was that i was sitting next to him while he was being battered. Nice.

First time post, Woot!

Exodus
by Bob Marley

Everytime I hear that I get reminded of the time my Ford Fiesta caught fire, with me in it. Of course, I was driving with 3 tyres down the road at the time so that may of had something to do with the cause of flame.

Car got totally burnt out, yet alarmingly when sifting through the remains the next day I found my pool cue (which was in the boot at the time) untouched by the fire!

...
Whenever I hear that Christmas classic "We Three Kings" I get all dizzy and light headed. During my first year of comprehensive school my music teacher bullied me into doing a solo in front of all the parents and teachers. Being a little nervous about it my singing is not up to my usual standard, in fact it is quite awful, I’m singing in the wrong key with a really wobbly voice and mumbling some random words, I start panicking and begin to sing faster, so fast that I lose my breath and faint, in the process I fall off the stage and into the head teacher’s lap.

Apologies for length

Tenacious D
The wonderful first song on Jack Blacks CD "Keilbasa" was first gracing my ears the time my ex decided I should take her up the back passageway. Funny how halfway through the song it says "I check my dipstick, you need lubrication honey"

Ahh, I still get feelings of the warm embrace when I hear that song…

Turn it up, pa-pa aaaaahhhhhh
For reasons I have never managed to work out, the dodgy indie club I used to go to in the late eighties always played 'Orinoco Flow' by Enya before going into the music the punters wanted (Wonder Stuff, Sisters of Mercy and the Cult, mostly).

When ever I hear it, and it still gets played quite a lot, I taste snakebite and black, smell fag smoke and patchouli oil and get the urge to find a goth girl in black lace and blacker lip stick and try and put my hand up her skirt.

Every time I hear something by Texas
I remember picking tomatoes in a moleste greenhouse when I was 17.

And every time I hear Tubular Bells, I think of reading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, because I started both at the same time.

buttercup
A friend of mine told me that he really liked that "build me a buttercup" song. Why? I asked, it's horrible.

"It was playing at my girlfriend's house, when their dog came in and started trying to hump me" he explained.

So now, whenever I hear that song, I think of my friend being assaulted by a great dane in front of his girlfriend's horrified parents.

I have no idea why that makes him like it.
