I'm curious to know what weird, maybe unexplainable, associations people make to songs. Or maybe I'm the only one, haha.
Whenever I hear "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells, I always think of willow trees. And "I Love This Bar" by Toby Keith makes me think of Eskimos. I have no idea how either association came to be, but they've existed for years.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Anytime I hear a minus the bear song, it takes me back to my freshman year of college at Mississippi state. Winter time. And just driving around all hours of the night with my female friends just talking about boys and laughing.
Sleeping with ghosts by placebo was the song being played when I was sitting in a car, in a parking lot, and someone back into me. It was late night and talk about a fucking heart attack. I was by myself but everyone came running over to me.
Wagon wheel by old crow medicine show reminds me of this guy I used to date. He had just introduced me to all of his friends as his girlfriend and I had no clue he was like a local singer. The guy playing music saw him and pulled him up stage. He played the guitar and sang wagon wheel and looked at me the whole time. It was magical.
Electric feel by mgmt reminds me of this one summer where we stood out in the river market giving out free hugs and popsicles every Saturday. I remember riding in the car with another couple and allison had the windows down and her feet hanging out the window. 4 deep in the car and all just singing as loud as we could.
Keep em bouncing by pretty lights reminds me of Beale street last year. It's my favorite pretty lights song and I didn't know if he would play it. I was closer to the stage than my friends. When it came on, j turned around and started jumping up and down all crazy yelling this is my jam and my friends gave me the thumbs up. I turned around and had one of the best times of my entire life.
Safe and sound by Capitol cities reminds me of a second date. We were eating at Baskin Robins and the song was just blaring and I had an ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles. After the date he walked me to my car and I smiled and had chocolate in my teeth and he never told me. He kissed me and then called me his little doo doo teeth girl. I was so mortified. But we laughed forever over it. He made a comment about the song while we were eating or otherwise Idk if I would've paid attention to what was playing.
I'm sure I have more but that's all I can think of right now lol

When I ran cross-country in High School, I would always get "If I Didn't Love You" by Squeeze stuck in my head. I would get stuck on the line "Singles remind me of kisses, albums remind me of friends." I don't know why. But, that song still goes with me when I run, and hearing it reminds me of running.
"Bad" by U2 reminds me of touring France in 1985. As does "Shout" by Tears For Fears (with a side of "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora and "Live Is Life" by Opus).
"Stuck In The Middle With You" reminds me of this failed bank robbery. It got ugly. I'd rather not get into the details.
Usually when I associate songs with things, it's things that happened - or places where I was when I heard it.
At least 80% of when I listen to the Dropkick Murphys is in March
I listen to an obnoxious amount of Cash Money and No Limit stuff, circa 2000, around Charlotte and Orlando
After I've arrived in Nashville and get on I-40 heading towards Roo, the first thing I listen to is the North Mississippi All-Stars set from Roo in 2004.
There's a certain roadway, between where I live and Hartford, that is so rural/hilly/winding, that I want to listen to bluegrass when driving it
I haven't listened to the Beatles much in the last four years, because that's all I ever did when I dated this one girl back in 2011.
I often listen to nothing but EDM while driving through North Jersey. Specifically, I remember one time on the Garden State Parkway doing almost 90 in a 55 at the first drop in Tiesto's "Obsession".
My first trip to New York City was back in 2005, a college group bus trip to a Rangers game. I remember the group sing-a-long of Billy Joel's "Piano Man", and passing around a bottle of Wild Turkey.

Me and a guy at work seem to end up discussing 80's, 90's, and early 00's Hip Hop and R&B everyday. Now I walk around work singing songs by Jodeci, Devin The Dude, Isley Brothers, Facemob, Whodini and a bunch of others all the time when I'm there. No matter what comes up during the day, we usually find a way to jokingly link a lyric from a song to it somehow. The funniest part is trying to out obscure each other.

Why bring it up then?
I don't know anyone who doesn't make this association. its played up as a joke in a lot of stuff as well (bob's burgers comes to mind first, because I just watched that episode last week)
