Obscure/older songs that remind you of someone/something?
Discussion
I was sitting around feeling slightly melancholy yesterday and was flicking through songs on YouTube when I remembered a song my grandad used to listen to - The Streak by Ray Stevens https://youtu.be/stvrWdFijZc
He loved that song as it was just so odd and it would always be on when we had a road trip!
Another is is Tell Laura I Love Her by Ricky Valance https://youtu.be/8HIHdCJA8f8
My dad was a milkman and growing up I'd go out on rounds with him, he had a Bedford pickup (a small white thing) that he used for delivered and it had a 60's mixtape constantly in the tape player on repeat, I remember learning all the lyrics to that song at maybe 10 years old and belting it out whilst out on the road, then having a glass of yellow top when we got home.
Anyone get the same flashbacks with particular songs?

This reminds me of my mother sleeping on the sofa. I had to watch the clock and wake her up at the right time so she could go to another job. We were poor and the world was still in black-and-white:

Used to have this song in my head when I used to have to cycle to work 8 miles in the morning. This was before Walkmans. Sometimes I had a portable cassette recorder in my backpack
