The Soundtrack of your LifeChe Grimsdale writes: Now that Simon Cowell's stolen Everybody Hurts, tell us about songs that mean something to you - good, bad, funny or tragic, appropriate or totally inappropriate songs that were playing at key times.

Having just landed at San Francisco International AirportI picked up my rental car and after steeling myself for my first ever time driving an automatic and my first time driving on the wrong side of the road I setup my iPod on random running through the stereo system and gingerly left the airport.
As I navigated the twisty exit roads gaining confidence and beginning to enjoy the early spring sunshine I relaxed a little before finally pulling onto the 101 Pacific Coast Highway southbound.
That's when it happened, just as I entered the traffic flow the iPod randomly began playing California by Phantom Planet so this led to me cruising down the highway singing along far too loudly:
We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from...
The combo of an upbeat song partly about the road I was driving down and the lovely weather compared to home was a perfect start to a lovely trip.

Someone has to say it...That song is FUCKING SHIT. That is all.

Indeed it is.After this though instead of noticing how shit it is I end up tuneing it out and drifting off to memories of this trip.
