Great thread.
Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra playing "Love's Theme" - I am 5 years old, riding in the front seat of my dad's 1971 Caprice Classic through the streets of Dorchester, Massachusetts on a sunny day.
"Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer - driving around with my sister in a Mercury Tracer during the summer that I moved home to be with my dad after my mom had died. We called it "the happy song", always rolled the windows down, and were able to remember our mom with laughs and smiles instead of silence and tears for the first time in months.
Cheesy tunes, no doubt, but we don't always get to pick the soundtrack. The opening line in "Lover's Rock" by Sade goes "I am in the wilderness, you are in the music in the man's car next to me." That's the way it is - as often as we try to choose music to make the moment, it is just often the moment that makes the music.
