The Music that they Constantly Play Says Nothing to Me about My Life

[brrm]

Here's my version of the meme going round, where you flip through 15 tracks in your music player, and answer the questions below with the title of the songs that come up.


Since I feel like boring you utterly, you can have two of this meme for the price of one - first from my iTunes collection at home, and second from my iPod.

iTunes 1. How does the world see you? One day I'll fly away - Moulin Rouge soundtrack I guess this means I'll either get a pilot's licence, or accidentally drive my MG off a bridge... 2. Will I have a happy life? Love Me Or Leave Me - Nina Simone No idea on this one. 3. What do my friends think of me? There There - Radiohead. Nothing like a condescending pat on the head to get me through the day. ;-) 4. Do people secretly lust after me? San Francisco - Unknown Artist (someone British, not Tom Lehrer) So only gay people do, I guess. :) 5. How can I make myself happy? Honey Don't - The Beatles Pah. I didn't get where I am today by not doing things. 6. What should I do with my life? Way to Blue - Nick Drake Drive into a lake? I think iTunes is out to get me... 7. Will I ever have children? Bitter Sweet Symphony - the Verve Yes, and they will all look like Richard Ashcroft? 8. What is some good advice for me? Harvey the Wonder Hamster - Weird Al Yankovic I'll leave this one as an exercise for the reader. 9. How will I be remembered? Sunburn - Muse "He should've worn more sunscreen." 10. What's my signature dancing song? Act Naturally - The Beatles Act naturally? Have you *seen* me "dance"? 11. What's my current theme song? Please, please, please, let me get what I want - The Smiths 10 cars for starters. And a big house/garage. Yes. 12. What do others think is my current theme song? The Clapping Song - Shirley Ellis I worry about people, if they think that... 13. What shall they play at my funeral? Sexy Boy - Air Oh yes... 14. What type of women do I like? Weather Storm - Massive Attack Ones who talk about the weather? 15. How's my love life? End Title - John Williams, OST for Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back

iPod 1. How does the world see you? Hunting Bears - Radiohead Yes. I shall nail their heads to my wall. 2. Will I have a happy life? So Much More - Beth Orton Lots to look forward to, then, I guess. 3. What do my friends think of me? Sports and wine - Ben Folds Five Hah. Sofa and beer, more like. 4. Do people secretly lust after me? Three hours - Nick Drake Three hours, and they've got over their moment of madness. ;-) 5. How can I make myself happy? Somebody Told Me - The Killers Well, tell me, then! 6. What should I do with my life? Show Me Love - T.a.t.u. (yes, yes, I know :P) Show my love to a pair of Russian lesbians. I see... 7. Will I ever have children? A Wolf at the Door - Radiohead Werewolves, eh? Great. 8. What is some good advice for me? Strict Machine - Goldfrapp I'd better stay in front of the machine, then. 9. How will I be remembered? Bryter Later - Nick Drake ... with sunny spells in the afternoon... 10. What's my signature dancing song? It's Hurting for the First Time - Wolfsheim Yep. Sprained my ankle, dammit. 11. What's my current theme song? Bulletproof - P.M. Project, from 'Anyone Can Play Radiohead' 'I wish I was.' 12. What do others think is my current theme song? Control the Flame - Lightning Seeds Damn. Who told them about my pyromania? 13. What shall they play at my funeral? Andy, You're A Star - The Killers Is evath going to cut the brake lines on my MG before I drive off the bridge into the lake, then? ;-) 14. What type of women do I like? Been Smoking too Long - The Killers Heh. :) 15. How's my love life? Wicked Tongue - Blackmaker Naturally. ;-)

Drive into a lake?

Is evath going to cut the brake lines on my MG before I drive off the bridge into the lake, then? ;-)

All the evidence seems to point to that, doesn't it?

* Hides brake line cutters *

Show Me Love - T.a.t.u.

> Show my love to a pair of Russian lesbians. I see...

they're clearly fake lesbians, isn't one of them pregnant, and they both have husbands or something. Not that I'm saying what they do isn't good, or that this should stop you showing them your love as it were.

Weather Storm - Massive Attack

Forces of nature, clearly :)
