This song triggers some really hard realizations for me, In a lot of ways I see myself as that "Lookin' Boy".

It's always higher frequency sounds that do this to me, so it's usually guitar solos or backing strings. Typically a chord change involved too. And the effect is incredible if I haven't heard the track for a good while. I'd love to know the neuroscience behind it! If somebody could map the parts of my brain that are affected mid-shiver and then artificially/electronically recreate the stimulation, I'd probably collapse, comatose with pleasure.
Isaac Hayes - Walk on By Think it's the first string swell with chord change.
Pearls Before Swine - Ballad to an Amber Lady
Budgie - Hot as a Docker's Arm Pit (No shit!!) The long run of notes toward the end of the main solo.
Blue Oyster Cult - Harvester of Eyes Again, the guitar solo

The live version of 'Silver Springs', when it transitions into the 'Time has cast a spell on you...' section.
The moment in the Scott Walker track on Climate Of Hunter when he sings 'And the ceiling is rising and falling' and the swarm of Evan Parker soprano saxes comes in.

fuller list, off the top of my brain:
Parliment - The Silent Boatman (bagpipes)Autechre - Silverside (the ending, where you finally get to hear the entire melody)Soul Coughing - Lazybones (the entire thing is so damn heavy)Devo - Race of Doom (don't know why. something about the way the synths intersect with the rhythm gets me)ELP - From the Beginning (everything about it is gorgeous, but especially Emerson's solo in the end)Faust - No Harm (the scream at the end)Underworld - Most 'Ospitable (the whole thing)Underworld - Jumbo ("Telephone breath between us/there are no borders between us/Only these wires")Happy Mondays - Dennis and Lois ("Honey, how's your breathing/If it stops for good we'll believe it")Kraftwerk - Neon Lights (the onslaught of shimmering major chords that make up the second half)Yellow Magic Orchestra - Gradated Gray (great song with an inexplicably creepy atmosphere)The Books - Getting the Job Done (when the vocals come in)Can - Oh Yeah (when the rhythm section really kicks in, 2 minutes in)Gary Numan - Complex (mostly the intro, but really everything)Neu! - Isi (c'mon, nobody can disagree with this)Michael Jackson - Stranger in Moscow (already mentioned, but holy cow, this is a monster)Boredoms - 7 (from VCN - when the guitar chords finally come in, braaang brooong)Harry Nilsson - Morning Glory Story (gosh the vocals are pretty on this one)Todd Rundgren - When the Shit Hits the Fan ("I think I have to get my ass back to Sunset Boulevard")
#1 tune along these lines (the one that makes me feel funny the whole time) is here
