If you don't know what I mean, I mean songs that you hear and for some reason it just reminds you of a location in a video game, or a certain mission, or something else. Maybe because the song sounds similar or maybe because you were listening to a song while playing the game. So here's some of mine.
Hotel California by The Eagles reminds me of Sirena Beach in Super Mario Sunshine.

This is one I can't for the life of me explain. Ever since I was a kid, everytime I heard this song I would just think about Sirena Beach and the hotel there. I mean, yes there's a hotel, but other than that there's no real connection. Though when I was younger, this song kind of scared me. Like when I was a kid, I thought it was about a hotel with a giant monster is the basement that prevented people from leaving. Apprently it's about drugs... But I digress.

This one is hard to explain. I heard this song for the first time last year and the beat that starts at 00:45 reminds me of Mario Party. The thing is I don't know why. I think it has the same sound as a song from Mario Party, but I can't for the life of me remember what Mario Party. I think it's the mini game explaination song from Mario Party 7, but I could be wrong. I can look that up. Hold on... No I just listened to all 8 of them and none of them were right, but I swear it sounds like a Mario Party song. I mean I really don't want to listen to the entire Mario Party 1-8 soundtrack just to find it so I hope someone will agree with me so I don't look crazy.
Last one I'll be doing for now and I'm just going to say, this one holds a special place in my heart. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen reminds me of the alien mission in Majora's Mask.

My first time playing Majora's Mask, I was trying to get Epona. Everyone who has played Majora's Mask knows that getting Epona isn't the most fun thing to do. I was stuck on that mission for 2 days because I didn't have the bunny hood and I wasn't used to shooting arrows while on Epona because I didn't do that sidequest in Ocarina of Time. I was going at it blind. Well after 2 days of frustration, I had to go to my grandparents house, which is when I got new music for my iPod and my dad told me that I would like the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. So I looked it up, listened to it, was amazed, and I downloaded it. Later that night I was playing Majora's Mask, listening to Bohemian Rhapsody on repeat and then the magic happened. I beat that mission I was stuck on for two days. The song was like a kind of magic for me. So now when I hear Bohemian Rhapsody I always think of the alien mission. Plus it gave the gateway for Queen to become my all time favorite band, but again, I digress.
So after all that, what non video game music reminds you of a certain point in a video game?
