Nostalgia is the feeling of longing for the past in a way that tends to be romantisized. The emotions are often brought upon by an encounter with something that is in some way linked to the person's past.
I envision a group of "young people" dancing in a diner Grease style. The guys have slicked hair and are wearing blue jeans and white t-shirt. The girls have on pink poocle skirts, white shirts with a collar, and black patten leather shoes.
The second song: The first thought that popped into my head was Marilyn Monroe seranading JFK at his birthday dinner.
I get a very nostalgic when I watch tv shows that I once watched as a yound kid. Immediately I think of the house I lived in and the Saturdays when I would be glued to the television for a good 2 hours watching cartoons. The holiday's tend to make me very nostalgic. I have always attibuted my love for the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, to the magic and love in the air. Sometimes I will smell a strong cinnamon candle because my grandmother's house smelled like that one year and the memory stuck.
