THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

In the song title continuation thread recently, Keyser picked Simply Red's 'Holding Back The Years'. That always reminds me of Rodney's wedding in Only Fools & Horses. Particularly poignant for me as that's the episode (followed by the 'Jolly Boys Outing' special) that I stop watching the show each time on repeats so it really feels like a saying goodbye moment.

A similar example is Green Day's 'Time Of Your Life'. I really like the song, and have seen them perform it live twice, but my main association when I hear it now is it's use on one of the last episodes of the wonderful, Seinfeld, as it plays over clips of the 9 series of the show. A great choice, but now makes me even more nostalgic whenever I listen to the song.

I don't mean theme tunes, as that's an obvious association. Just songs that were used for one particular scene in a show / film but that have managed to attach themselves to that moment in your mind.

Windows of your Mind - Thomas Crown Affair

Evidently Chickentown by Dr John Cooper Clarke on The Sopranos obviously.
In an echo of Keyser, You're My Kind of Climate by Rip, Rig + Panic on The Young Ones. I always associate Neneh Cherry with that performance. Even when she achieved mega stardom, I always picture her in that grubby student flat.

A truly obvious one (sorry!). I can't hear "Stuck in the Middle" by Stealers Wheel without thinking of the "ear" scene in Reservoir Dogs.

Others:

The End by The Doors always conjures up the start of Apocalypse Now!
Ace of Spades by Motorhead reminds me of The Young Ones (not the Cliff movie )
Winter Lady by Leonard Cohen always calls to mind the final scene of McCabe & Mrs Miller

VERY DISTURBING.
