[mollymandy]

we all have favourite songs , that often trigger happy memories , whats yours ?

[lovejoy]

Beach boys-- god only knows

in 1965 I would have killed for that woman that became my wife, in hindsight I wish I had killed her, I would have been released in 1980

[Whickerman]

My Girl by the Temptations - used to sing it to my daughter.

[Kromovaracun]

Boards of Canada - 'The Devil is in the Details'.

Okay, so it's a weird track entailing a scratching noise (with an occasional wail by something or someone) and a voice telling you about how you are transforming, but I like it. Why? Well, I just listen to it whenever something is on my mind. I always finish it feeling much better, for some reason.

"Take on Me" by A-Ha. I am a rock music fan but I love A-Ha (Morten Harket being gorgeous doesn't mean a thing!) and this song brings back some very vivid and happy memories.

Also "On the Beach" by Chris Rea - we played it on the way to the airport in the early hours of a wild and wet morning for our first family holiday abroad and it always reminds me of that.

Good choice of group Bensmum remember this.

Sorry to lower the tone,but I lost my virginity whilst "Last Rockers" by Vice Squad was blasting out on the record player.
The song was 2 minutes 38 seconds long.
Think I made it to the second chorus. :-)
Whatever happened to Beki Bondage?

I LOVE Vivaldi's L'Autunno-3 La Caccia (Allegro) When i was a child i had a book and cassette pack of the little mermaid (the old one not this ariel thing) and when the little mermaid heard them all having a ball on the ship this was the song that played on the tape!! I have such wonderful memories spanning from this!! Ive been trying to get hold of a copy of the same book and cassette pack that i had then with no avail!!

[Romeo]

I Go To Sleep by The Pretenders.

[Le Chat]

bensmum and Iamo - Tears pricked my eyes when I listened to 'Take on me' then - really! It took me back to the eighties, which was my favourite time. Everything seemed so innocent and wonderful then. I was about 21, living at home, going out with friends having fun, had a lovely bf, no mortgage, loads of money.... Oh well!

[netibiza]

"McCarthur's Park" Richard Harris and alsmost anything by the Beach Boys, memories of my carefree youth.

[brionon]

'God loves a Drunk'' by Norm Waterson.
Makes me feel wanted.

[feelap]

'Are You In?' by Incubus and 'Steal my Sunshine' by Len because it reminds me of a summer romance in 2002. I miss her lots, I hope she also misses me. :-)

[Big Jenny]

Without doubt Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

[China Doll]

Counting Crows - Accidently in Love.

Absolutely no reason whatsoever, no love story or happy memory associated with it. The lyrics just make me smile.
