Phrases from Lindsay’s answer:

I can think of 3 touch points throughout my childhood where this song comes in to play.

We would put on the vinyl… CCR was one of the key bands.

I have a distinct memory of sweeping the floor to the tune of CCR, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

That encapsulated happiness.

It’s just a dear memory I have, still to this day, close to my heart.

It brought back this flood of memories.

Lindsay filled 1:45- not quite the two minutes, because she spoke really fast.

Phrases from Jessica’s answer:

This question actually makes me giggle.

I have a vivid memory of…

I was a surly teenager.

My little cheap, foam, Sony headphones

Female hip-hop trio from the early 90’s

I even choreographed a dance routine at a slumber party.

This song definitely played a central role in my teenage years.

The story element plays a huge part in speaking in an interesting way for two minutes.

The magic is in the details. Try to call to mind the image of what you want to describe before you talk.
