So, I should be going to bed (hell, I should have been in bed hours ago) but instead I am doing this silly iTunes thing:
Here's how it goes: shuffle your mp3 playlist and take the song titles in the order they play as answers to the following questions.
I promise that these were the songs that came up, so here they are:
What do you think of me, iTunes?
"Come On Eileen" - Dexy's Midnight Runners
iTunes thinks I'm catchy, in a British way. I can live with that.
Will I have a happy life?
"The Silver Swan" - The King's Singers
Here are the lyrics to this madrigal:
The Silver Swan, who living, had no note
When death approached unlocked her silent throat.
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sang her first and last, and sang no more.
Farewell all joys,
Oh, death, come close mine eyes.
More geese than swans now live
More fools than wise.
So, I'm guessing.. no.
What do my friends really think of me?
"Moon Over Parma" - Drew Carey
So, they think I'm fat, have short hair, and wear glasses. The truth hurts, bub.
Do people secretly lust after me?
"Drive of Death" - Nellee Hooper from Romeo + Juliet
Umm.. I suppose that's a no too. Duly noted.
How can I make myself happy?
"De Der Down" - Brak
Ahh, Brak does make me happy. So the secret to happiness is to maintain my child like wonder and remain silly. I can do that.
What should I do with my life?
"Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah" - Barenaked Ladies
Great, I have to be a Rabbi. Thanks a lot, iTunes.
Why must life be so full of pain?
"Swamp" - Talking Heads
Here is a snippet from the lyrics: 'Watch but touch monkeys
All that blood, gonna swallow you whole' Is that a yes, or a no?
How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
"American Nightmare" - Misfits
This really makes me question my sex appeal.
Will I ever have children?
"Every Sperm is Sacred" - Monty Python
That's a definite yes. Little Scotts will inherit the earth!
Will I die happy?
"Stealing My Heart" - Rolling Stones
I'll take that as a yes because who needs a heart?
Can you give me some advice?
"It's Funny to Everyone But Me" from the Impostors (good movie by the way).
Ok, iTunes that's the last time I tell you a knock, knock joke.
What do you think happiness is?
"It's a Sin" - Paul Anka (yes, that Paul Anka)
Message received loud and clear, iTunes.
What’s my favorite fetish?
"Twisted" Annie Lennox
I'll leave that one to your imagination, dear reader.
