Songs That You've "Stamped" into Your Mind's Recollection

I'd like to create a contributions' commons for those unique and/or personal accounts, to be provided by the audience at large here -- pertaining to one particular song track, or multiples if you've experienced them, which gained a meaning or correlation to something else at the same instance in which you heard it, or will hear it again in the future, most likely perhaps because of some association you've come to tie into it at the moment you heard it (or after repeated instances of being exposed to it).

Simply, what songs have you stamped in your memory as to when you hear it, you also consciously or subconsciously think of an event, someone else, or a discernable piece?

A notable example to this end is the pivotal scene in Reservoir Dogs, which for some, it left an indelible and an easily-triggerable memory recall for the track.
A prominent instance of this is the torture scene to the tune of "Stuck in the Middle With You".

Also, you can think of this as sharing "your song(s)" with others, while also explaining why it gained the significance you've attributed to it, and how often you've come to realize its effect on you.

To note: I do recognize that some songs throughout the years have come to garner meanings above and beyond what was originally intended, perhaps of longevity, the time in which it received wide broadcast, or because of certain identities using the song to further their own agenda (an informative example of this practice: think of an NBA Game setting in the Arena, and what song do you know, without fail, will be played at least once before the night is through? If the thought of Darude's "Sand Storm" popped into your mind, then this musical premise should be a cinch for you).
