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.

A Vagabond has just reminded me...As per the Chiquitita post, ABBA brings back some memories :s
My parents went nuclear when I was 10, on a family camping trip to France, all of us stuck in a caravan with walls made of paper. The only cassettes I had for my walkman were the Best of ABBA Gold (1 and 2, no less). With that I attempted to drown out the sound of them screaming, accusations of all kinds of improper behaviour (well, mums accusations anyway - grew up quite quickly in those 2 weeks), and basically, the end of my family as I knew it.
For a long time, anything by ABBA turned me into a bawling wreck, which surprised me a great deal (having avoided it like the plague for many years) when I moved into what we fondly termed "The Big Gay House", and the Swedish warblers were regular fare. Happily, new memories were made, and now whenever I hear the opening bars of "Dancing Queen", I only remember some very special friends and some great times.
