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.

Mustang Sally by The Committments
The Music Club, of which I was a member, were playing at an open mic night and we kept getting requests to play 'Mustang Sally'. So we gave in at the end of the night, and I took up lead guitar duties. We needed someone for backing vocals, and our club secretary stepped forth- a very loud, very rotund woman with too high an opinion of herself.
Anyway, we played it and were doing fine until the first 'All you wanna do is ride around Sally' when we heard 'Ride Sally, ride' in a Barry White-esque female baritone with a Yorkshire accent. It was awful. There were panicked glances from all the band members, none of us could believe we were hearing this. We played the whole thing and she didn't even realise how bad she sounded.
So now, every time I hear 'Mustang Sally', I think of our 'beloved' club secretary.
