Music Meme from Julie and Kelli

Instructions:1. Open your library on your Zen or Ipod or other MP3 player
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that’s playing.
5. When you go to a new question press the next button

Ready, set, go!!!!!

Opening Credits: Ridiculous Thoughts - The Cranberries (I guess if you cut it. It starts out kind of etheareally. After that I’m already tired with this movie.)

Waking up: Meet Cleofis Randolph the Patr - Deltron (Uh, well. It’s interesting. It does feature the great mnemonic “Mites crawl up, Tights Fall down”)

Falling in love: Bye Bye Love - Simon & Garfunkel (Wow, am I off by a song or what here).

Fight song: Sheila take a bow - The Smiths (hey, it’s got “boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear”. That’s somewhat pugilistic. This would make a good fight song if you were perhaps a bit tipsy and had a chip on your shoulder.

Break up song: Break It Down Again - Tears for Fears (wow, this could become a treatise. This is your college breakup song. “I’m breaking up with you because of the state of the world, you know? I mean it’s just so mixed up. I just can’t be in a relationship with what’s going on. You know what I’m saying?” OK. It’s really not a breakup song. Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t listen to lyrics. Then the title makes a great Break up song I guess.)

Making Up: Subway Song - The Cure (Um… if you makeup on a Subway?)

Life’s Okay: The Great Below - NiN (If this is your definition of life being ok please seek medical attention.)

Mental Breakdown: Perfect World - Liz Phair (ok. it does talk about a schizoid life full of murder and strife)

Driving: Permanent Daylight - Radiohead (this is a pretty good driving song, more of a nighttime/rainy day song but pretty good)

Flashbacks: Outro - Handsome Boy Modeling School (yeah, I remember my days at the Handsome Boy Modeling School… oh wait… that was the drugs)

Happy Dance: Hedwig’s Lament - Hedwig and the Angry Inch (neither even remotely happy, nor danceable)

Regret: Spiralling - Erasure (finally. This is almost a song about regret. “Maybe I can learn to love another.”. Yeah that’s regret.

Final Battle: Candy Everybody Wants - 10,000 Maniacs feat. Michael Stipe (uh… “Give ‘em what they want” - perhaps if this is the final battle with pacifists. )

Death Scene: Alphabet Lost and Found - They Might Be Giants (do I even have to justify this anymore? This meme has lost its ‘ector’. This movie is dadist)

Final Credits: To Have and to Hold - Depeche Mode (works for me.)

I feel like I should try this again, only with stuff currently on my iPod. My full library is way too varied.

I just noticed that you and I both had songs from Deltron 3030 for our Waking Up song. The universe is weird.
