This is a question Walkman Flashbacks

There you are innocently going about your day when suddenly a particular song transports you back to a specific time and place.

For me, Animotion's Obssession instantly brings back the fear and nerves of school exams. And you? Tell us all about it.

Magic Fly
by a bunch of session musicians called Space. I remember seeing it on TOTP aged about eight; the band were miming furiously in fluorescent spacesuits under UV lights. Whenever it turns up on my iPod I can hear the song that came before it (Yes Sir, I Can Boogie by Baccara) and after it (Telephone Man by Meri Wilson) on the crap K-Tel disco album I pestered my parents to get me so I could have my own copy of it. (It sounds more-or-less like Daft Punk covering "Spacelab" by Kraftwerk.)

Delia Derbyshire's arrangement of the Doctor Who theme always makes me think of the smell of my hair blow-drying after being washed in Johnson's Baby Shampoo, aged four or five.
