What music, movies, tv shows reconnect you to your youth, that little kid inside that really has never gone away and brings a smile to your face?
for me:
the wizard of oz, mary poppins, the electric company for the kid in me.
for the teen in me it's listening to early madonna, shalamar, the facts of life, the cosby show and brat pack flicks.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

As a little kid I was all about Alvin and The Chipmunks. I had the stuffed animals and would bring them downstairs into the living room on Saturday morning to watch the show with me.
80's music. Pat Benetar, Rick Springfield, Journey. Then later, it was all about the hair bands. Bon Jovi, Poison, White Snake.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

When I was in high school, two songs were always playing when I was driving to work: Juice Newton's "Queen of Hearts" and Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only". Those songs take me back to high school.
Also, the cologne "Grey Flannel" always reminds me of that time in my life.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Absolutely, Polly! 
And, D_A, I was much more interested in the car and guy in front of it, than in the girl on the hood.

Posted: 6/1/07 at 2:10pmI actually remember those songs too, Goth. But I wasn't driving back then. I was 5 when Queen of Hearts came out. But I had an older brother.

i think a lot of stuff makes you relive the past in so many ways. i love to randomly talk about them with people too because they all freak out and start remembering with me.
kind of like this thread. it's fun :)
my picks: Today's Special, Zoobilee Zoo, and The Adventures of the Little Koala.
songs? Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam: "Head to Toe"
