Remember the songs you used to sing as a kid, or when you were a teen? Or, to those who are still in their teen years, that familiar song that was on the radio a couple of years ago?
           Songs make us think about a particular moment in time that we want to go back to or to forget all together. Snacking at the beach, hanging out with friends before they moved away, and even meeting your boyfriend—or ex, maybe—are all memories triggered by the music at the time.
           We all have our favorite songs, and sometimes we wish that they can make a comeback on our radios. Here are a few throwbacks that will jog your memory, and say: “Oh my god, I used to love this song!”
