There are a lot of them for me but there's one in particular. Africa by Toto may be the first song that I remember hearing. Makes sense because I would have been 3. Every time I hear it now, I'm immediately transported back to the early 80's. Then later that year, my older brother bought Police Synchronicity. Any time I hear anything off of that record I'm immediately 3 years old. My brother and I would laugh every time Sting sang 'humiliating kick in the crotch.' We couldn't understand how someone let him swear like that.
