Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.” Crappy song, I know (well, at least I hate it), but it was how we met. One day in class I was singing “Master of Puppets” because I was bored, but I only knew a few of the lyrics. He, being a Metallica fan (but only until “The Black Album” - the rest sucks, says he) helped me out. How sweet!
Also, he made a 3-CD set for me full of classic rock songs, so whenever I hear any of those, I think of him. " 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy…"
If everything is going well for us at that time, I think of “No One Is To Blame”, by Howard Jones, (whoever he was)which was a really popular top forty hit when we were dating. It’s lame, but it fit the moment during the beginning of our budding romance.
However, when things are pretty much sucking, the first song that pops into my head is, “Tied To A Whipping Post”, by the Allman Brothers.
I listen to it when I’m out driving around fuming after a fight.
UDD says that “The Emperor’s New Clothes” by Sinéad O’Connor makes him think of me.
there are far too many songs that make me think of him though… 10 years of listening to music together… how about “Dear God” by XTC because he made me listen to it and it’s the only song by XTC that he was actually able to make me like.
“The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by the Charlie Daniels Band.
Seriously.
To make a long story short, I was doing it on stage it at amateur night some years ago. She was in the audience and got in touch with me afterwards to tell me how much she liked my rendition. We started seeing each other, and eventually married.
Of course, other songs mean a great deal to us too, but neither of us can hear “The Devil” without thinking of that night and how we met.
well I wouldn’t classify Bubba as my SO, but none the less… Just about any Eagles song. Our first date was seeing the Eagles during the Hell Freezes Over Tour. If I had to narrow it down, Desperado. The last song of the night.
Followed closely by Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama. Well, the skies are so blue.
Finally Allman Brothers Whipping Post (long version). Bubba has a vivid imagination :eek:
“From This Moment On”, by Shania Twain. I’d been trying to convince her to sing for me for ages, and she finally sang this for me. Veryveryvery quietly, but it was a start. I still can’t listen to this song.
“Truly Madly Deeply”, by Savage Garden. This was on a lot when we first started dating, and I think we might even have danced to it on our first date. This song, however, I still like (probably because I knew it before we started going out).
A few other songs on some CDs I made for, (“Save Tonight”, by Eagle Eye Cherry), but not as strongly.

And actually, I associate music (specific songs) with a lot of different people (or times in my life).
For instance, my shuffle just came up with “Straight Up” by Paula Abdul … a song I got because I thought it was cool, and the first time I heard it was while a friend and I were sitting in the caf. studying for a Linguistics exam. And tis isn’t (quite) a hijack, because I wish she was my SO. How’s that?
Gotta agree with Spoons on The Devil Went Down to Georgia,but not for the same reasons.
Crush 'Em, because it’s his favorite song.
Angel by Shaggy, I hate that song with a passion, and I change the station whenever it comes on, but it always makes me think of him. It was important when we were together once, and then we broke up and I despised the song because I would always think about him. Then we got back together, and I still don’t like the song.
All My Life by KC and Jojo. He told me that he dedicated a song to me and then gave me his cd player and turned it on, and I thought it was so sweet.
