OK, you have no idea what is going on here, it's basically a (lame) birthday song. The reason I remember it is because my 5-7 year "main" teacher used to sing it _anytime _someone is the class had a birthday. It's a fun/ny memory (she also may or may not have been an alcoholic).

En Vogue - Free Your Mind. Takes me back to my prom and a dance with a guy dubbed "Crazy" Bobby. He was a certified nutso, not a bad dancer though.

Lady in Red, me and a friend used to sing "lady in red, is dancing with me, butt to butt" just randomly in school. It's still "our" song. And we still sing butt instead of cheek /in Bulgarian of course/

Eruption - One Way Ticket. A terrible, filthy, disgusting lodge in the mountains and a terrific fun time with some classmates from University.

And many more I imagine, but, you know, my memory...

Mandolin Wind - early Rod Stewart

Drops of Jupiter reminds of the death of my grandmothers. Because it's actually quite a sad song and because I heard it not long after the first of them died.

There are many songs that take me back to a certain period in my life, but from the top of my head I can't think of any others that remind me of a specific event.

In no particular order (due to the randomness of my mind):

Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes
Tub Thumping by Chumbawhumba
Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones
We Are The Champions by Queen (my softball's team's theme when we won championships)
Need You Tonight by INXS

I'll probably think of more later.

“Let It Be Me” by the Everly Brothers

“I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

“In Dreams” by Roy Orbinson

“A candy colored clown they call the sandman,
Tiptoes to my room every night,
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep everything is alright;"
I close my eyes and I drift away,
And to the magic night I softly say,
A silent prayer, like dreamers do,
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you;
In dreams I walk with you,
In dreams I talk to you,
In dreams you're mine, all of the time,
We're together in dreams, in dreams;
But just before the dawn,
I awake and find you gone,
I can't help it,
I can't help it if I cry,
I remember when you said "goodbye".
It's too bad that all these things,
Can only happen in my dreams,
Only in dreams,
In beautiful dreams,
Only in dreams,
In beautiful dreams.”

Okay, now y’all know where I am in the age area. But, do I ever have stories to tell!
