The more I think about this, the more I realize that most of my memories have sound associated with them. Or that most sounds have memories associated with them.
For example, TV theme songs do it as well. Old tv themes remind me of eras. The theme to MASH makes me picture my mom sitting on the couch watching the show. Of course, it takes place in the house we lived in about 20 years ago.
I still love reruns of Star Trek TNG. The opening theme reminds me of my old apartment at 12th & 12th. That is where I lived when I worked every day until 11pm, and TNG was on at midnight.
The theme to HNIC does two things, it gives me shivers (apparently, I love hockey THAT much), plus it gives me some kind of areal view of myself lying belly down on the carpet, chin in my palms, wearing pjs and begging my mom to let me stay up until the games were over.
