I have a friend that gets this all the time from good singers. I never really understood it. Interesting to see that it's a little common!
The song Justice by TUNEDEF used to do this for me, but then I had to switch headphones and I haven't found any that are loud and high quality enough to give me this reaction since.

Yes, often. The theme from A Summer Place always does it for me. :)
Edit: It's the high strings. Love them.
Wow...they should put 18 and older for some songs!
Is this like aural sex?
