Just realized recently that Van Morrison still gives me the heebee-geebees due to past associations…
How 'bout you?
Sarah McLachlan, “Building a Mystery”
She loved Sarah McLachlan, and I was a "beautiful(ly) fucked up ma
n" after she was gone.
Damn, Van Morrison here too. Is it * my * fault she actually had big, dark brown eyes? Eh well, at least her name wasn’t “Domino”; that’d ruin two great songs for me instead of just one.
Anything by the Go-Go Dolls
Osip
Hmm… Very good thread idea…
Mostly just bubblegum pop songs… like “The One” by the Backstreet Boys… turns out this guy didn’t quite live up to the associated song…
Some of these go deeper, though, and can be creepy. The song, “That I Would be Good,” (Alanis Morrisette) is a song that I very much associated with one of my ex’s… and then suddenly a new girl came along and I was no longer good enough… sigh
Now that I think about Alanis a little bit, I realize that I’ve associated a lot of her songs with ex’s… “Head Over Feet,” for instance, was one that I heard for the first time right after meeting one of my ex’s. Thinking about him now makes me want to put my head over a toilet… :eek: :mad:
How about good break up songs? Instead of hijak-ing your thread, I’m gonna start my own with that title… 
God, in what order should I go?
White Lion. Not that I liked them anyhow, but if I even hear “WAIT” again I’m going to projectile vomit.
Yello. Yes, they’re a great band but I have heard them more than I never needed to.
Sarah McL. WAY back before she started hitting top 40, and I had never heard her or heard OF her, this chick who was trying to impress me played a tape of a tape of a tape of her stuff and said it was HER and HER band. Then she won my heart by telling me what she was thinking when she wrote each song. Two months later I heard Ms. McL on the radio. “Oy vey” does not quite express how I felt.
This guy I kinda had a thing with one really hated Led Zeppelin, so after he stopped calling me and went out of his way to avoid me, I became OBSESSED with Zeppelin. I always really liked them, and owned six of their CDs before I even met the guy, but I went totally crazy groupie afterwards. It wasn’t really a conscious (sp) thing; I didn’t really notice it until some of my friends pointed it out to me. I got this Zeppelin bumper sticker on my car and I’d go to the the video rental place where he worked and park so he’d have to see the sticker.
God, I’m so unhealthy.
Roxy Music. I never really listened to them before her, and I rarely have since.
Mine is Ace of Bass’s “Don’t Turn Around”.
Cause my itty bitty heart was broken.
And I didn’t want him to know or respond to it.
Styx.
I cannot look at “Cornerstone” without feeling physically ill and very poor.
“Babe.” What kind of a stupid bitch would pick that as “our song”???
“Babe I’m leaving…”
Twenty years later and I still am frightened.
Whitney Houston, “I Will Always Love You.” Ecch, not a good song to begin with, but the horrific memories of the Eighth Grade Graduation Dance flood back at the opening a capella verse.
The Righteous Brothers, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”…oddly enough, by the time I learned that he liked this song, it was extremely à propos. shudder
“Pieces of April” Three Dog Night
“Your Song” Elton John
“Now and Forever” Richard Marx
Bad Religion. Thay’re a good band but I now hate them with a passion that burns brighter than a thousand suns. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, because of the same guy. He was an evil poseur.
Anything disco. She loves it, I don’t. Not at all.
That’s all I remember about her.
Just kidding, babe.
Peace,
mangeorge (Disco sucks)
Tutti Fruiti… kind of says it all 
The Beatles, “Let’s do it in the road.”
Not quite, but close enough in the bushes.
My ex-hubby used to go scuba diving all the time together, and he was quite a bit more knowldgeable about the Bahamas from previous vacations. Well, it turns out he knows ALL THE WORDS to “Kokomo” by the Beach Boys. He loved to sing it, and he was so proud he knew all the words, that I didn’t have the heart to tell him he was singing off-key.
An ex-boyfriend of mine was really into heavy metal music (back when that meant Black Sabbath and AC/DC). Now anytime I hear Ozzy Ozborne or AC/DC, I think of him.
You’ll all laugh, but …
Episcopal hymns. You see, he was a former choirboy, a sometime organist, and an allegedly devout churchgoer when he wasn’t being an Evil Master of Mind Games. (Come to think of it, he was known to do both at once; I have never met anybody else who was capable of praying manipulatively.)
It took almost three years and a trip to England before I was able to listen to organ music without shuddering.
Not quite as many angst-ridden responses as I had figured…
Played a pile of cd’s today. Low and behold: Sheryl Crow.
Chalk up another cd that brings back all the crappy memories…
hmmm…
anything from the joseph (and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat) soundtrack, especially those canaan days.
edelweiss.
last kiss by pearl jam.
i dont wanna miss a thing by aerosmith.
i cant help falling in love with you by elvis
stan by eminem
damn, that is a weird bunch of songs.
