does this habit have a name?

I have a tendency to associate certain songs with certain people I know - either because I heard the song while we were together, or because the lyrics fit them perfectly. I have no idea if this is a normal thing (do you do this?) but I can't really help it.

Here's a few examples:

- An old boyfriend - "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by Nine Days because we heard it on the radio every single time we were in his truck.
- My best friend - "My Favorite Mistake" by Sheryl Crow because the Ouija Board decided that song described her life when we were like 14.
- A deceased friend - "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan because he was a lonely and misunderstood person who died too soon.
- My friend in Malaysia - "She's So High" by Tal Bachman because I met him online after watching his Final Fantasy 9 mash-up music video to the song.
- An old co-worker and friend - "Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones because we worked at Home Depot together, myself in the paint department. He made this my personal ringtone on his cell.

I'm eagerly awaiting the people in my life who will be assigned to the following songs:

- "Barbie Girl" by Aqua
- "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney
- "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga
- "Rockin' the Beer Gut" by Trailor Choir
And especially:
- "White and Nerdy" by Weird Al Yankovic

These will certainly be some interesting people to know.
