When I use a song as a bouncing-off point, it's usually the lyrics that I use. The words of the song either give me an idea for a story, or they work with the story or chapter that I'm working on, and they help me frame the story, or just give me the feeling that I'm looking for. Sometimes it's the music of the song, too, but most often the lyrics.
