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?
