If Your Life Were a Movie…What Would the Soundtrack Be?? Thanks to Spiral Skies, this is mine.
First, here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
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
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool…because you’re not!
7. Stick the soundtrack on your mp3 player and listen away during the day.
I am quite worried about how this will reveal just how much of a dork I am. I do have some very cool music in my ipod but for Pearl Jam’s ying there is Britney Spears’s yang. Without much further ado:
Opening Credits: Faith – George Michael
Waking Up: All Apologies – Nirvana (live)
First Day at School: Naive – The Kooks
Falling in Love: Are We Waiting – Green Day (live)
Fight Song: The Show Must Go On – Queen
Breaking Up: Little Green – Joni Mitchell
Prom/Dance/Ball: Good Life – Kanye West
Life’s OK: Come On Over – Institute
Mental Breakdown: God Bless the Child – Billie Holiday (I would so need Billie Holiday if I were to have a mental breakdown!)
Flashback: Hard to Concentrate – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Getting Back Together: Rape Me – Nirvana (unfortunate!)
Birth of Child: Funeral Song – Rasmus (what a shame this didn’t come up for the last song)
Wedding: Macy’s Day Parade – Green Day
Final Battle: Ta-Gana/Saturday Night from 10 Things I Hate About You soundtrack
Funeral Song: Cry me a River – Justin Timberlake (I shit you not!)
End Credits: Anything but Ordinary – Avril Lavigne (how apt)
So, not as embarrassing as it could be. Did I dodged the Fame bullet, at least. What about your soundtrack?
There is a lot of scope for this to turn out embarrassing, but I promise I won’t cheat… if any embarrassing songs come out, I’ll just claim they’re my wife’s songs (as we share the same itunes)…Opening Credits: All These Things That I’ve Done / The KillersWaking Up: Prove Yourself / RadioheadFirst Day at School: The Caterpillar / The CureFalling in Love: Love Is The Drug / Roxy MusicFight Song: Daughter / Pearl JamBreaking Up: Cherub Rock / Smashing PumpkinsProm/Dance/Ball: Thank You / DidoLife’s OK: Jaded / Green DayMental Breakdown: Everything’s Just Wonderful / Lily AllenFlashback: Trophy / Bat For LashesGetting Back Together: Waiting For The Sun / The DoorsBirth of Child: Sleeping On The Roof / The Flaming LipsWedding: The Second Great Depression / Manic Street PreachersFinal Battle: Telegram Sam / Marc Bolan and T-RexFuneral Song: A Minute Longer / StereophonicsEnd Credits: Mary Jane’s Last Dance / Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
That is a pretty respectable list, although Dido?? Really?? I would not have had you pegged for a Dido fan. Karen has some explaining to do!
Fascinating seeing the songs that people hide in their collections – especially the old stuff that we try not to confess we’ve downloaded again in the interests of technological jollity!Love the new blog…
Thanks Jen!
