Any of the Irish songs from World Cup 90.

Give It a Lash Jack. Remember this one?

In a 2011 interview on RTE Irish Television, Jim Sheridan (Film Director) stated that Bono and himself agreed that Give It A Lash Jack was the 'greatest Irish song ever written'.

Ireland was f**king deadly back then. Getting skuts on the back of cars in our estate, fist pumping and screaming "Ole Ole!"

I was part of Jackie's army. Those days are gone. I'm too old now to be getting skuts on the back of cars, but we'll see come Euro 2012.

Yes because they could trigger a sad memory. Do you ever get sick of acting the dick?

As Time Goes By

I find it hard to listen to this anymore. I had some great memories in Paris with my Norwegian lover but she left me for a Czech Resistance leader...

Till a while ago I couldn't listen to Shiver by Coldplay and many Coldplay songs.

But lately I have come to enjoy the song again without any painful flashbacks and I'm quite happy about that.

Hey Rick, you still running that bar in Morocco?

The Wolves by Ben Howard.

It's a haunting enough song at the best of times - my problem was I was meant to get a 1am bus home from Electric Picnic last September, but the crack seemed unbelievable up there so I kicked that plan to touch, ended getting a taxi back to Limerick at about 5am, and for whatever reason I had that song on the ipod on repeat, and when I made it into work that morning I was made redundant.

I still think it's a great song, though I do shudder when I hear it!

ken booth i would give up everything i own

Shryke · 21-03-2012 12:07AM

Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order. A girls favorite song, and fairly spot on for the situation I found myself in with her. Brings up some painful stuff sometimes.

carfiosaoorl · 21-03-2012 12:08AM

Stay by Shakespear's Sister
My son had a seizure 6 yrs ago and on the way to the hospital I was holding him in the back of the car and he was shaking and gurgling like he was drowning and that song came on the radio. I screamed at my partner to turn it off. I used to love that song but have hated it ever since.

TheBegotten · 21-03-2012 12:12AM

Kinda opposite here...Whatshername- Green Day. Sorta a song of hope for me. Not too sure why. Love it though!

MonkeyTennis · 21-03-2012 12:12AM

No. There are some songs that belonged to certain moments in time and maybe to a person in my mind but if a song is good enough it will transgress time or maybe ill just think of that person in the happy times

Cue Wonder Years Music

Ill always love you Winnie!

Claire McGuire, ain't nobody dammit. The vid makes me even worse. But I can't help myself and am addicted to how it makes me feel.

Time to say goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. My mam wanted it at her funeral and she got her wish. Since then I don't like hearing it.

I have a few songs that remind me of painful times but in an odd way, I don't mind hearing them as it makes me remember people that are gone.

the day I had to travel home because my mam was about to die, I was on a bus and on the radio was Lady Gagas Pokerface, I was sitting there in tears, and the song seemed so stupid and meaningless, and seemed to go on forever.

and Unchained Melody was the song that mam always wanted at her funeral, and got it too.

It's so nice that our mams wishes were granted.
