Do You Hear What I Hear?

I can't listen to the song "Do You Hear What I Hear"
It's a BEAUTIFUL Song that is usually only played around Christmas time, about the birth of Jesus.
I still can't listen to it. Even when its sung as beautifully as Carrie Underwood sings it:

It's lovely and it has an important message.
But consarnitt, I've been ruined by the movie "Gremlins"
IF you haven't seen this adorable/gruesome holiday horror classic, I will have to full you in a little bit.

Taken from the IMDB Website: 

A boy inadvertantly breaks 3 important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.

So, these monsters begin reeking havoc on the town, starting in the home of the boy. These Gremlins start terrorizing his mother, and as she's looking around the house for the creatures, the record player begins playing the song "Do you hear what I hear." She then proceeds to find the Gremlins in her home, carrying a knife around the house, in typical 80's horror movie style. 
-- Let me make this clear. If I was going to watch a movie that was scary in any way, my mom was always sitting beside me making sure I wasn't scared. And if I was, she always explained what was going on. It didn't matter if it was Gremlins, Jaws, or even a scary scene in the Care Bears movie with a scary character. If I was ever upset by anything, she was always there to clarify what was going on for me. Gremlins has an adorable mogwai in it ( see photo above ) His name is Gizmo. I was in Love with this li'l guy when I was little. He's adorable and I'm sure I wanted to see the movie for that reason. 
Anyway,
This movie was released in 1984. I don't know if that's the first time I saw it. It may have been when I was around 5 ( if I did in 1984, that means I was 3 years old ) 
But seeing that movie at such a young age pretty much concreted the song in my brain as being identified with that movie, and that particular scene in the movie. Not a pleasant one, needless to say. It's meant to strike a little sense of urgency of getting out of that scene into someone. 
I really wish I could listen to that song. 
Then I started thinking about all of the things that made my memory jog like that, the songs and smells and tastes. My husband can't eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal because he got sick as a teenager after eating it. It brings back bad memories. 
I also had a similar experience from chocolate chip mint ice cream. I can't eat it. It makes me sick. 
I know that no can hear than infamous, ominous song in Jaws without feeling like they need to hurry up. When swimming sometimes as a kid I would hear the song in the back of my head and hurry up to the edge of the pool ladder! ( if you ever swam in a pool, don't tell me that didn't ever happen to you ) 

It's funny how your brain makes associations between things like that. It's not always bad ones, either. 
And for some reason, me hearing the above song has blocked out any good examples that I may have. 
I'm sure you have them, songs and foods and smells and activities that excite a certain nostalgia in your brain and take you to a happy place. :)
