Songs that bring on memories

Tell us a certain song you heard and what memory it brought back.

Like right now I am listening to Europe's The final countdown and it reminds me of being in my dad's truck and waiting for him to purchase propane for the barbecue when this song came on for the first time that I heard it. It is a cat jam, I'd say.

Livin on a prayer by Bon Jovi reminds me of being in the communications technology room in high school working on art and hearing this song.

Now its Thunderstruck by AC DC and Disney/Pixar could not have picked a better spot to put this song in their Planes Fire and Rescue movie because that's what I see in my mind when I hear this song.

In the end by Linkin Park had a wonderful DBZ Youtube video that I wish was an amv during the actual show.

Mortal Kombat theme song reminds me of spending countless hours in my parents' unfinished basement and doing homework while listening to this song. There used to be a CD with the Mortal Kombat soundtrack on it, but I have not seen it in a while.

Water parks can be nice, but depending on what type will depend on how nice they are. For me personally, I love a good soak in a pool. Splash parks are good for cleaning the butt hole.

Depending on whichever Animal Crossing soundtrack I listen to, it will take me back to whatever afternoon hours spent with my siblings playing the game.

Gamecube was us watching each other clearing the map and earn their gold from fishing, waiting for our turn to play so we can decorate our house/rooms a certain way. We still laugh over the 1st encounter of bees. Who would've thought that a fun little colorful game would have something like a bee chasing/attacking us, especially for dropping their hives.

Nintendo 3DS, we would mostly do our own thing, trying to see how much we upgraded Nooks shop and try to "collect them all" (buying furnitures and donating to Museum). The golden fruit and island fruits was a big deal at the time since we also play Harvest Moon, so a complete Orchard is a must. Honestly, most of the memories are spent on the Halloween event (likely tied to our experiences with trading candies irl).

Not much memories for New Horizons though, since we're adults with limited time to play. We also each have our own systems/game, and all we did was trade fruits. The soundtracks doesn't click like the previous 2 games.

I loved the Animal crossing games too. And agreed that the music in the New Horizons was not as much of a catJam as the other games.

I think it has to do with the fact that it's heavy on the "Island Getaway" theme. My vacation of choice is either in France or Japan, not so much for subtropics though, so that's why I can't relate as much as I would with previous game's Home-Country/City-Life.

I have a bad habit of not looking at song titles as a kid. Not sure why, but maybe it's because I'm too young to care at the time. There's this one song I would skip across the living room (as if dancing, but not really dancing) while listening to the lyrics. It was something like "I am a big big girl in a big big world". Mind you, I really related to that one because I am dang short (classmates were much taller than me), and I do consider the world a huge place (after knowing the existence of China and Africa). I've walked no further than my school/neighborhood as a kid, and my earliest memories were the moving from one state to another.

I often listen to either video game songs or movie soundtracks that were based on games. Such as Mortal Kombat or Transformers.

Same here. My childhood is based on what games I play. I often find myself returning to Final Fantasy (upbeat motivator) and Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing (Casual/Chill). Movie wise... I can't say much. I do listen to a lot of Asian love song classics though, and it's probably because I consider them as my lullaby as a kid. Haven't heard those songs for a while, so I may revisit them sometime soon.

One song that often gets into my head lately off of the playlist I have been listening to is called "Push it to the limit". It reminds me a lot of a place in the world of warcraft called Razor's Edge, Outland and specifically on the boarder of that and Zangarmarsh. If you had ever played the world of warcraft, the singer of Push it to the limit literally describes how you would feel flying over those spikes in Razor edge looking down into Zangarmarsh... he warns you don't do it and for good reason. Its a long drop if you should fall off the mount or if you have vertigo...that can be really bad.

Heard the song defying gravity, I dunno who its by, but it reminds me of Dragon Ball Z.
