I have found that when you do something while reading, watching, or listening to something, those two experiences will be linked together in your mind forever. I once read a book while decorating a Christmas tree, and every year I remember that book when decorating the tree. This has happened with music and baking. I bake a great deal and I usually don't listen to music, as earbud cords would get in the way and my parents are probably listening to the radio. But there are certain songs that I thought about once while baking, played, and are now connected in my mind to baking. Since I think about baking whenever I hear them, they are the perfect thing to get me in the mood for baking. They aren't connected in any way outside of my own head, so they're not the perfect baking playlist for anyone else, but they work for me. They're also pretty random.
