Many couples have a song where they'll go like "omg they're playing our song!!"

But what's the song that resonates most with you and your best friend?

We grew up together in the 90s in Germany and this video and song just captures the mood perfectly.

Lustra - Scotty doesn't know.

Our song is Guns n' Roses "sweet child O' mine". One of the very first times we hung out outside of work (where we met) the song came on in the bar. We both started singing it together, to each other. We just clicked from that moment. We just celebrated our 20 year friendaversary this last summer.

Let Forever Be - Chemical Brothers

Prima Vera - Arne Belinda

...don't bother listening to it. it's a parody of a song in a language you (probably) don't understand, and the parody is even harder to grasp.

Feel free to shove the lyrics through a translator for the wtf-factor, though.

Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes

We have Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem. Not that it gets played much anymore since we are now older and dull.

The Long Winters — "Stupid"

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

The Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy is our song. Has been since after high school and we both joined different military branches. Of course he lives in the Deep South these days and I'm in the far north, so it has been kinda irrelevant for 20 years. But I always think of him when that song comes on. We were close like brothers in high school. I've had a couple of good friends since, but no one like him.

What is a "best friend"? I'm sorry. Does not compute.

[–] helix@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

OK, then all your friends are best friends. What are their theme songs in your head?
