Blast From The Past - When you hear a song you haven't heard in years

[Trombonista]

On my way home from work tonight I heard this song on the radio:

This was one of my favorite songs when it first came out, and I think the last time I heard it was over a decade ago.

A couple weeks earlier I heard this song, which is a Spanish version of a song I listened to in high school Italian class:

Has anyone else recently had a musical trip down memory lane?

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Heard this one a few days ago on the radio. Always reminded me of The Warriors movie which I haven't seen in about 10 or so years.

 

[Erida]

I fairly recently watched the hotel season of American Horror Story and rediscovered my love of She Wants Revenge's Tear You Apart. I was annoyed I'd forgotten about it for almost a decade.

Thanks to YouTube recommendations I also rediscovered Röyksopp ft Karin (from The Knife) - What Else Is There?

 

[Vex Overmind]

Jesus I haven't heard Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin ever since I used to watch Halo machinimas on my computer all day.

 

[Morose_Obesity]

This song takes me back to the year I moved to this shithole:

 

[NumberingYourState]

The roof.

The roof.

The roof is on fire.

We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn.

Burn motherfucker burn.

 

[ADN_VIII]

I first heard this in some movie when I was a kid, and the sax hook stuck with me all my life. Heard it again at work this morning as I was following a bunch of shady methheads to keep them from taking things. Felt it appropriate to the situation.

 

[NumberingYourState]

I cannot save you.

I can't even save myself.

SO JUST SAVE YOURSELF.

Heard this at a gas station earlier. How the hell did Sandstorm become a meme, when this garbage was so much more annoying?

Speaking of things you heard countless times as a kid, for me, two songs that always stuck in my head, due to being played on the radio constantly while I was in the car with my mom going to school were Eddie Rabbit's "I Love A Rainy Night" and Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream".

Every time I think of these two tunes, I think back to those car rides in the rain.

Back when I was 13 I used to listen to this song while eating gummi bears:

Haribo macht Kinder froh
Haribo macht Kinder froh
Haribo macht Kinder Froh
Haribo macht Kinder...
FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!

In all seriousness, there are a few songs that had mesmerized me as a kindergardener, but I've never known the name of them or their bands till a couple months ago (God bless the internet):

 

[escapegoat]

TAXIDERMY AND SAXOPHONE.

 

[Trilby]

TAXIDERMY AND SAXOPHONE.

I played my mom's 45 of this endlessly!

Certainly a better video than the one in the skill crane machine.

My mom never had anything that cool. She was more this speed:

 

[RichardMongler]

Is there a more quintessentially '90s song than this?

 

[TwinkleSnort]

 

[escapegoat]

Is there a more quintessentially '90s song than this?

I sincerely mix this up with Who Let the Dogs Out.
