IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
I love music, and I have a playlist specificly for songs that I feel have a special meaning or significance to me.
Unfortunatly, only one of them came up on this list (I'll let you guess which it was).
So, 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.
(I cheated in that I skipped over the couple times iTunes picked a track from an audiobook)
Opening Credits:
"Before Tomorrow" by "Atomic Rooster"
(Most likely no one reading this will be familiar with Atomic Rooster. They were a British Prog Rock group in the same vein as Black Sabbath. They never really made it, getting ony two songs on the Brit charts.)
Birth:
"Hall of the Mountian King" by "Grieg"
(Apperanly I just kind of...snuck...out of the womb and began dancing around the moment I popped out. Or maybe they did tug-of-war with the umbilicle. Or something...)
First day at school:
"Nash Calling" from the Jurassic Park 3 soundtrack
(I guess it could work, given the right imagery.)
Falling in Love:
"Sjokolade" from the game The Sims 2
(Oh boy...this is not going well... This is one of the songs in 'Simish' - the invented 'language' for the Sim games. It sounds like it should be on the "Clueless" soundtrack.)
Fight Song:
"Flight to the Ford" from the "Fellowship of the Ring" soundtrack
(Love the song, but it doesn't really work. It's a "Flight" song...not a "Fight" song... Although it does have some dramatic moments)
Breaking Up:
"Jurassic Park Theme" from "The Best of John Williams"
Prom:
"Unnamed" (mistitled "Filmmusik - Western Movies") from "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" soundtrack
(Unfortunatly, I don't have the full GtBatU soundtrack, so if anyone has it and wants to make me a copy, I'll do art for you. And this must by one strange prom...)
Life:
"Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth
(That's better! "Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch!" Not quite me, but certainly better then they've been so far)
Mental Breakdown:
"Walking in the Air" from the "Snowman" soundtrack
(Ok, that's just not right... "Snowman" was a film my parents would watch with me when I was very, very little and this song is on my 'Christmas List'. I should hope that if I ever have a mental breakdown, I wouldn't be hearing this...though it might be the cause.)
Driving:
"March Of The Toreadors" (from Carmen) by Bizet
(That must be some drive...)
Flashback:
"Irish Ballad" (a Tom Lehrer cover) by The Brobdingnagian Bards
( "The Bards" are a really great Irish-folk group - playing classic irish songs in classic, sometime humorus, style. However, I wonder what kind of flashback I'm having with this song...it talks about a girl who murders all her family - even cooking up her baby brother and inviting her neigbors in to eat.)
Wedding:
"Self Esteem" by "The Offspring"
(Nice, upbeat song to get married to... This meme has actually convinced my fiance to add this song to RL wedding music list.)
Birth Of Child:
"Communication Breakdown" (cover) by "Soundgarden".
(Alright! Start the kid off right! With ROCK 'n ROLL!)
Final Battle:
"Hello Beastie" from "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" soundtrack
(Strange, not the song I would have choosen, but it is a 'Final Battle' track... This is the song that played when Cpt. Jack Sparrow was devoured by the Kraken.)
Death Scene:
"Shotgun" by "The Outline"
(Maybe this is foreshadowing?)
Funeral:
"A Book in Every Room" by "The Yellow Cabs"
(The Cabs are a local band that I was somewhat involved with. They're on iTunes and I reckomend listening to them."
Ending Credits:
"Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)" by "Led Zeppelin"
(Well, at least Zeppelin got in there somewhere."
Overall, I think this meme failed pretty bad. None of these songs really seem to fit - nor do they seem really funny. Maybe I'll try it again sometime using only my "Assorted" list and not the general library.
D.O.P.R

Given the nature of the lyrics in "Self Esteem", it does make me wonder about our marriage.
