Oh yeah! That reminds me of...

Just curious, but do the rest of you have music that brings back such specific and strong memories you can actually feel them?
I have several like that.

The earliest I can remember a song affecting me that way is (and don't laugh) Ray Parker Jr's "The Other Woman"... when I hear that song I can literally smell the chlorine in the pool outside the apartment back around 1982.

They don't even have to be really good songs, they just apparently were branded in my brain by circumstance like that stupid "Putin' on the Ritz" remake by Taco or whatever his name was. That one seems to bring back memories of the musty hallways of Grissom HS.

Then another one is "The Bird" by The Time. Remember that one from Purple Rain? I can still feel the wind in hair as we went flying down the road, all windows open, flappin' our arms outside, and laughin' our asses off. Um... names of other dudes in the car withheld to protect the guilty.

And speaking of Purple Rain... "Go Crazy"... THAT song brings back some memories that I won't discuss here... along with a strange scent of... menthol? Don't ask.

Then there's "My best friends Girlfriend" by The Cars. Weirdly enough that was the very first song that came on the radio as my best friend and I, who hadn't spoken for a month after he started dating my ex-gf... before she was my ex-gf. It's okay folks - he didn't know she was my gf at the time... but the bitch knew he was my friend... but anyway. he and I looked at each other rolled our eyes and just laughed. I can still feel that moment, the click of the radio, the hum of the tires on the road, the feel of the seat. Weird.

So those are a few of mine. What about you?
