What's a song you associate with your favorite person?

A potential minefield of a question. Setting aside history and the capricious nature of feelings, I'm thinking instead about a recent idle conversation I had with someone. We asked each other what songs we'd want played at our funerals, and she said Queen Bitch by David Bowie. That response is one of the reasons why this individual is—and probably always will be—my favourite person.
