I had something sort of strange happen to me today. I was driving along and a song came on the radio that brought back an old childhood memory. It was so absolutely vivid and strange.

The song was "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oates. The memory I had was of being with my mom, father and sister in a little pizza place in Monticello, Iowa called Primo Joe's. I remember hearing the song play right as the pizza was brought to the table (1/2 canadian bacon, 1/2 sausage). I swear I could smell the pizza as I was driving along. I also remembered going to the pop machine in the place and getting a can of RC Cola. It was in the mid-70's when they had baseball players on their cans and I remember being all excited because I got a Cubs player (Jose Cardenal).

It was just strange as hell how clearly I remembered it. No idea at all why it came to me but that song triggered it.

Anybody else have any songs that have triggered a forgotten childhood memory?
