What Are You Listening To?

Just killing time before I force myself to go to sleep. I was listening to one of my playlists on YouTube (I originally named it Disco Hits, but now I have to change it because YouTube decided to pull all but 2 of the disco songs, leaving only 80s hits and misc.), and I'm stuck on "Rapture" by Blondie. I've loved this song since I first heard it on the radio back in '03 I believe.

My dad and I were driving down Melrose, and they were playing Blondie hits when it came on, and it was just instant fave in my mind. I just remember thinking "Wow, this is the perfect song for a perfect day (sans the doctor's appointment we were going to). This is the perfect song for driving around on a sunny day."

Sadly, i didn't catch the name of the song, so the tune kind of just stuck in the back of my head. It wasn't until a few months ago that I found the video by chance, and I've been playing it over and over ever since.

Sidenote: I felt the same way when I had heard "West End Girls" by Pet Shop Boys, this time driving down Santa Monica through W. Hollywood (I apologize to those who don't live in S. Cali/know the place I'm referring to).

My question to y'all is: Do you remember when and/or where you heard your favorite song? How did it make you feel?

Thanks for stopping by, and here's the link to the music video (embedding disabled =/):
