My Vacation: "Official Music"

You know how it goes, right?  A song gets in your head, and the next thing you know, it represents a place or a time that will always be identified with just that tune.  What do you mean that doesn't happen to you?  You people are strange... it happens to me all the time.

I'll give you an example:  Every summer, before we go on vacation, some particular song winds up becoming our official" vacation song.  In years past it has been "I'm Gonna Be" by The Proclaimers, in 2008, it was the song "What Time Is It?" from the soundtrack of High School Musical 2 (go ahead, make a wiseass remark), and this year it was "Waking Up In Vegas", by Katy Perry... you know who she is, right?  I think that she is the chick who kissed a girl and liked it.

Well, all of these songs are still on my iPod, and they immediately remind me of driving around certain places in either Orlando, Florida, or St. Simons Island, Georgia (or places in-between).

I wonder what it will be next year?
