you slept with Oscar Hammerstein?
Nope never slept with Oscar.
I can honestly say I never woke up next to a man who said "My wife and I wrote that song" either.
James Taylor, "Handy Man." I played the guitar and sang it in the school talent show in HS. A very pretty girl sat in the front row and smiled at me while I sang. After that she started to say hello to me in the hallway. Sadly, I never had the nerve to ask her out. I'm 52.
And one more...also a James Taylor song...Sweet Baby James. I was babysitting my nephew James when he was an infant and I was trying to get him to settle down for the night. We rocked in a rocking chair and I sang that song to him.
Guess I'm a James Taylor fan.
Frankie Valli "December 63" takes me back to the early teen years and great memories I have.
I could make a list of favorite songs from different eras going back to the 1960s, but generally don't look back on the past years wanting to go back. If I did it'd would be my mid to late 20s. I was on my own, working toward a career, running well, and usually having a good time.
Here's a sampling of a playlist.
Medicine Show - Big Audio Dynamite
Need You Tonight - INXS
Slippery People - Talking Heads
Tenderness - General Public
One Thing Leads to Another - The Fixx
If you like 1979 then this live version sums it up. It begins with a few bars of the outro before kicking in the intro.
To me the ultimate ASMR invoking nostalgia trip is Bob Seger's "Night Moves". Both the music and words sets you back to a time of "backrooms, alleys and trusty woods" but also the feel of late Summer/early Fall.
Night Moves
Jodi got a big ol butt, Suzy got a big ol butt
I like big butts and I can not lie
This brings me back to middle school. Which was an epic time.

The Horst Wessel Song
Dancin in the dark by The Boss. I always thought I'd marry a girl that looked like Courtney Cox. Yeah, not gonna happen.

There's still time, man!
Night Fever
Good old Bee Gees in the disco days
Or Landslide.
Suck on my big ten inch
