8. It reminds me of driving with my Mom

She had a great mixed tape she made recording songs off the radio. We'd listen to it when she drove to two of us up to my Grandma's house.

Spirit in the Sky, the Nash Rambler song (the horn went beep beep beep), Tell Laura I Love Her, In the Year 2525, Leader of the Pack, lots of Supremes tunes, some harder 70's rock like Don't Fear the Reaper and Queen songs, and a bunch more.

We'd sing the whole way. Neither of us can carry a tune in a bucket, but that just made it even more fun.

ETA a couple more songs. Can't believe I remember which songs were on there, it was 30 years ago. But Spirit in the Sky is the song I associate most strongly with the tape.
