Audio: Share a song that reminds you of a current or past relationship.

I left Antic in the car while I ran inside the post office. Coming back, I could hear the music long before I reached the car. I may have imagined it, but it seemed like the car was vibrating with the thumping of the bass line.

Ouch. Hasty volume adjustment needed to preserve auditory powers.

"Wow. That always seems to happen when I leave you in the car. Loud. Very, very loud."

"Yeah, and it's a good song. Did you notice that, too?"

He shoots me one of his million-dollar smiles.

"You're cute. Sheesh, I bet you hear that all the time."

"Yup. Actually I do."

I've been inspired by Bookmole's post to share one of my favorite stalker songs, a little ditty by The Toadies.

I can't tell you how many times I listened to this without actually listening to the lyrics: I loved the melody, the catchy beat, the overall feel of the song, but had absolutely no idea what it was about. One day, the track queued up in the car and Sleeper said something along the lines of: this is a great song, but it's so wrong. So I cranked it up and paid close attention. Yep. Stalker song. Still love it, though.
