What songs did you hear and they instantly seemed like you'd known them forever?

These could also be songs that brought back memories of times before you even knew the song.. almost like the song was part of you before you knew it existed. Here are my top three, all first heard within the last year or so: Electric Light Orchestra - Calling America, Alan Walker - The Spectre, Coldplay - Clocks

'Calling America' is a classic 1980s song that I thought was older than 1986 (for the longest time I thought that it was from the early 1980s).  Props if you can identify the USA city in the satellite image at about 1:13 in the video.

I'll third Calling America by ELO-though I'm not sure which American city is at 1:13 in the music video!

It is Sioux Falls, SD.  Mirror image and then rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise.  In that image, I-29 is across the top, I-90 is on the left and I-229 is at the bottom and around to the right.

The funny ones for me are ones I've never heard.  I've heard a lot of Bowie, had one of his compilations, and I'd never heard Starman until last year.  Even though it's been in several movies!

A lot of songs by Statler Brothers are like that.
