is there a song?

Question

that when you hear, it takes you back to when you were a kid and you can remember exactly what you were doing..sorta like a photo in your mind..

for me whenever i hear "new kid in town" by the eagles, it reminds me of my house i grew up in, i can remember playing in the basement with my hot wheels (o.k. laugh now).

also fleetwood mac's "dreams" song reminds me of being at the campground we use to stay in on weekend getaways when i was a kid...i can still see myself at the lake (beach). my sister always played that song..

kinda corny but have you any songs like that.

Answer 1

You're getting pretty creative with the questions.

It's funny that you asked this one because whenever I hear "shout it out loud" by Kiss one thing always comes to mind. When I was young, my dad had a 74 Nova that he would race on the weekend during the summer. Once he brought me along and it was like a scene from a movie, seriously. All the cars would line up in the parking lot next to the strip that the cars would race down and then two by two the cars would take off. Well obviously loud music is a key element that goes along with fast cars and I know other songs were blarring but I can distinctively remeber when Shout it out loud came on. I was sitting in the passanger seat and there was a round hole in the floor of the car (my dad was in the middle of re-doing the entire car) and I was so amazed at the fact that I could see the street speed by through that hole. I was about 7 and dont ask me why, but I had a little tiger stuffed animal in my hand that just barely fit through the hole but it did and I dropped it out because umm.. I don't know, I could(?) then cried because I wanted it back. Soooo I made my dad go back along the strip until he found it haha.

Kind of random but whenever I hear that Kiss song I think back to that exact instant as if it were yesterday. People are probably thinking... oh my god, you're dad took you out in a car racing with him? That's so unsafe. Well, it's true... it wasn't the safest thing but times were different back then and strictness wasn't really a facter with cars the way it is now, and my dad was only like 27 at the time and was still stupid LOL. I had a blast though (once I got my stuffed animal back.) Ever since that I said I was going to have a Nova of my own... I'm still waiting. How freakin' awesome would that be though?!

Ok.. well I blabbled on enough, you get the idea haha.

80's Man: Haha... If I knew whatever happened to that stupid stuffed animal I would seriously strap that bad boy on the front of my handle bars just because. That'd be pretty bad *** I think LOL. Then I'd really look like a sissy girl on a dirtbike hahaha. But yea my dads Nova was awesome thinking bad now. Back then I hated it. I remember my mom drove it to pick me up from school one day and I was SO embarressed! It had a posie so at idle it rumbled so damn loud and it practically made the ground shake. Kids were all falling over, grabbing on to their mommy's and daddy's to brace for it haha.. slightly exaggerated lol. Now I'd kill for that car though. But then I wished to myself, "why can't my parents have a mini van like all the other kids' parents." LMAO!

Answer 2

SAD or ROCK? Okay.. I'm not sure on that. If by sad you mean.... slow and kind of emo... Evanescence has lots of these, as well as rock, such as: Hello Like You My Immortal Your Star Missing All That I'm Living For Sweet Sacrifice Weight of the World Going Under The Veronicas: All I Have Heavily Broken In Another Life Someone Wake Me Up My Chemical Romance has lots of good rock songs, and so does Switchfoot.

Answer 3

New Kid In Town by the Eagles will always bring me back to the basement at a fmaily friend's house. They had a couple teenage daughters who shared a room in the basement and it was playing and the younger kids and I were all playing around the bar they had set up down there. Queen's Fat Bottom Girls was playing on my sister's record player (yikes!)as I was building my Sunshine Family Greenhouse. It must have been Christmas Day, she and I were actually getting along. The Police's Roxanne and I'm back in the back seat of my sister's VW Thing going to the beach on Maui. Her boyfriend Jesse was riding shotgun, I was about 12.
Good times, good times...
Thanks for the memories!

Answer 4

Hot In The City by Billy Idol always reminds me of watching TV with the family. You know the show....Booker...It's all about Richard Grieco!!!

For the new generation...Booker was a spinoff of 21 Jump Street.

***It's the first time I ever saw Johnny Depp, that's for sure. I love your other two choices as well. It's hard to top Bundy, Fire Marshall Bill, and Homey The Clown...Homey Don't Play That!

Answer 5

There are a lot of really great stories here. If I had to pick one song it would have to be....

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper

This takes me back to when I was in the 3rd grade. I can recall riding in the car on my way to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving.

BTW, I'm not laughing, 80's Man. I still have my die-cast cars in the basement. I'm a terrible pack-rat.

Answer 6

I haven't seen it in about 15 years, but my dad did a family video of us at this beach called halama in CA and he got the new home editing thing (totally groundbreaking for the laymen at the time) ability to put music over the video. I have this memory of splashing around in this strip of water kind of shooting up from the beach, throwing rocks in and jumping around to Sixteen Shells From A Thirty-Ought Six by Tom Waits.

Also, when I hear Warren Zevon, particularly Excitable Boy, it brings me back to dancing around my living room when I was a little kid (don't read too much into the song content I only realized that it was bouncy and fun). I don't remember very much at all from my childhood, but that's one of the few things. Also when I was about 6 or so I put on a lip syncing concert (am I really typing this) to Born in the USA and a couple other tracks for my family. A little bit of me cringes in embarrassment when I hear that song.

Answer 7

Free Bird in the back seat of my uncle's 78 Monte Carlo at the park while him amd his friends smoked a "cigarette" before we went home.

ALSO,
Don't Stop Believin' by Journey...We were also in the Monte Carlo...they had just paved the Wal Mart parking lot, but there were no light posts or concrete curbs yet. It was icy. We did MEGA donuts as Journey blared out the speakers and I pissed my pants..(I was like7)

Answer 8

"Blue Suede Shoes" by Elvis Presley

That song always takes me back to when i was ten years old. It was August 1984 and I was on holiday in Devon with my parents. My dad bought a cassette of the G.I. Blues soundtrack and we listened to it in the car on the way to Devon. But the cassette got stuck in car stereo and we couldn't stop it from playing, which also meant that we couldn't listen to the radio either.

So, G.I. Blues became our soundtrack for the next two weeks, but "Blue Suede Shoes" was the stand-out song for me. I don't know why, it just stuck in my head at the time.

Answer 9

"Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty takes me back to riding around in my Mom's Gremlin as a kid, with the radio blasting. The Gremlin was a standard, and sometimes she would let me shift from the passenger seat while she took care of the clutch from the driver's side.

My first three cars were standards, and when that song came on the radio when I was driving, it took me right back. It still does.

Answer 10

Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" ... I always flash back to sitting in my friend's mom's van, driving to a swim meet.

Tom Petty's "Free Falling" takes me back to hiking up around Lake Tahoe with my uncle ... I remember sitting on a rock under a tree eating a pb&j sandwich ... yummy!

Kansas's "Carry On My Wayward Son" ... Used to take golf lessons as a kid and i remember standing on a green putting with the instructor.
