I'm sitting in my office, surfing here, and the wife is in the other room watching TV...
A commercial comes on the TV, and the music is "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars.
Can anyone hear that song and not picture Phoebe Cates getting out of the pool and taking off that red bikini top??
Maybe it just has to do with the fact I was probably somewhere around 12 when I first saw that and it is an embedded memory.

Thanks man, I never knew the name of the song. Downloading now.
Also, for you iPhone users, you can download a program called Shazam. Anything you hear a song you want the name of, open the app and let it listen. It knows most songs (not classical, excentric)

Shazam is very cool. Glad I could help in naming the song. The Cars were a cool band, a bit strange, but some good music. Rick Ockasik (sp?) a bit strange, but some good music for the era.
Hey buddy, we both have a birthday coming up...
Not getting any younger.
And admit it, if you hear the song, you can't help but picture Phoebe Cates"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

On a side note, I don't think I can hear a Kenny Loggins song without thinking of Caddyshack.
Damn't, while I was typing this, the Pennzoil commercial playing Moving in Stereo came on again.
I had to glance at the TV to see if it was the "memorable" clip"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

04-04-2010 08:30 AMOne of the first times I heard Tom Petty's "Running down a Dream" I was driving a Ferrari 308 (remember it was the late 80's and the Magnum P.I. Ferrari was cool). I laugh everytime I hear that song because about 1/2 way through the "beat ride" I opened this silver tray engraved with the Ferrari logo on the center console only to discover that it was the ashtray, full of ashes and with the roof removed it blew ashes all over the car at 80 mph.....total buzzkill on a very cool day. Needless to say I was the hit of the summer with all my buddies that constantly told the Ferrari beat ride story!
*EDIT- The owner of the car was a reputed mob guy back 20 years ago........2010 google/the internet confirmed he is a member of the Lucchese family..........sure glad that car never got wrecked or I might not be here to tell this story.Last edited by JupiterSunsation; 04-04-2010 at 08:42 AM.

I can't say that this song necessarily jogs a certain memory in my life, but...
Has anyone else noticed a commercial on TV that is playing Judas Priest's "Electric Eye" off of the Screaming for Vengeance album?? The ad is for a PHUCKING MINI-VAN!!!!!
Back in the early/mid-80's Judas Priest was about as heavy metal as a band could get. Priest were being prosecuted, and had all the attention of Tipper Gore and the now defunct PMRC because a kid committed suicide while listening to their music... They were absolute Evil!!
And now, 20 years later, their music is being used to market a mini-van to soccer moms... Or maybe it's marketing to the husband of the soccer mom in an attempt to make him not feel like such a dork for intentionally buying a brand new mini-van.

I was only 9 when Fast Times came out. Remember Top Gun better-went with my older brother, his girlfriend and her three friends. Despite being two years older, I ended up making out with one of the girls after seeing that film! Top Gun taught me that hot girls liked me even older ones........... I became a little player after that!!!!!!!!
