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.

Oooh, let me think
This could be quite long, just to forewarn you.

The Teletubbies theme tune reminds me standing sulkily in the corner of a school disco at my junior school. I assume it was released as a single or something, or maybe I just went to a very odd school.

Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) reminds me of drunken parties at my mates house two summers ago. Now I come to think of it, it may well have been playing when I first snogged the bloke who's been my boyfriend ever since.

In a similar vein, moving on to last summer, Finch - Letters To You reminds me of being very, very stoned in the same mate's house with him playing it on acoustic. As a result, I only ever listen to the acoustic version now.

Somewhere inbetween the two, the whole of the album A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms very vividly takes me back to sitting in the aformentioned boyfriend's room and kissing non-stop for the first five or six songs. And although I'm pretty sure it wasn't the same night, it makes me think of the first time we had sex. He wonders why I love that CD so much!

There's a couple of songs his band do that he wrote while mucking about on my guitar, sitting on my bed as I was lying on it, usually naked and shagged out, so whenever he plays them now I get that soppy warm tingly feeling. Awwwww. Although it still irritates the shit out of me whenever he decides to pick the bloody thing up when all I want to do is cuddle and fall asleep.

I've got a motown compilation I remember my mum playing constantly when I was little, which I used to spazz out to in out lounge. And still do, come to think of it :S

Finally, that Little Mouse With Clogs On song had been stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks thanks to the b3ta talk board. I keep blurting it out at the most inopportune moments, like at the dentists the other day. Damn you, b3ta!!

I say finally, I'm sure I'll think of more. Sorry for boring you.
