For some strange reason La Roux puts me in my happy place, I wish it wasn't so and it was a well respected classic, but alas no.

Alcohol by the Millionaires.

It's possible that you won't have heard of them, or in fact be able to bear the incessant whiny high pitched "singing" of 3 women from the big apple plus over-produced faux disco electronica that passes for a backing track...but trust me, it's funny.

Another for St Ettienne tracks, some great stuff but almost anything that Shawn Ryder has been involved in or early Primal Scream stuff.

The Little Boots track 'remedy' is currently doing the same magic.....

Oh, and of course Laura Green with Moonlight, Music & You....guaranteed every time.

Baba O'Reilly - The Who

Always reminds me of wakeboarding on a really calm day with the sun out.

or...

Love Like Semtex - Infadels

For some reason, I always associate it with going winching on some dirty, filthy river, getting cold and wet, but still having a superb time with good mates.

'****ing Hell! It's Fred Titmus!' by Half Man Half Biscuit every single time.

Born Slippy has to be my most loathed song ever.

Gut Feeling by Devo always makes me jig about the place.

The Bangles did a great version of Going down to Liverpool, they were a great band untill that Egyptian Eternal fame crap.

Gene Hackman by the Hoodoo Gurus always makes me smile, its the line "And let’s not forget he took on Superman!" so silly its brilliant.
