A Spot of Fun to Distract from Reality

I came across this tag while reading a friend’s blog, so I thought why not? Constant study is getting me a bit down and it has been a week at work that I’d rather forget.

The idea:

1. Put your music player on shuffle.

2. Press forward for each question.

3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn't make sense. No cheating.

4. With the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

5. Tag someone else

Alright, I’ve got a nice glass of red at the ready and I’m going to chill out for a bit. itunes is fired up and I’ve merged my playlists for a truly random experience. Don’t let me down now music library…

How are you feeling today?
“Uptown Girl” Billy Joel.

Oh damn… what an awful start. Umm yes, the rough edged blue collar downtown guy singing about inter-class unrequited love – tricky.

Ok I’ve got it. After slaving away in the steel mill (and by steel mill I mean an air conditioned swanky new Docklands office) all week I really look forward to seeing my girl Sherly who is uptown (directly North in Carlton).

Will you get far in life?

“Take me out” Franz Ferdinand

Yes I’ll get far, but ‘I know I won’t be leaving here with you’ (or anyone for that matter).

How do your friends see you?
“Harder Better Faster Stronger (Live)” Daft Punk.

Umm, well the less said about this one the better, especially the ‘live’ bit. Moving right on then.

Will you get married?
“Look What You’ve Done” Jet

… you mentioned the M word.

What is your best friend's theme song?
“Lean on Me” Bill Withers

Go itunes! Yup, gotta love my mates Harry and Irz. Actually we tend to sing this song on the streets when we’ve had a bit to drink.

What is the story of your life?
“Hello Hello” The Cat Empire.

If at first you don’t succeed try again.

What was high school like?
“Blues Brothers Theme” Blues Brothers Soundtrack

Imagine black suits, black ties, black sunglasses and a mission from God.

What's in store for this weekend?
“Nasty Girl” Inaya Day

Haha… oh dear, I shouldn’t have included my club playlist. Well, one can always hope…

How's your life going?
“Cello Suite No. 1” Bach

So true, my life is exactly like Bach’s cello suite 1 right now. Frankly, I’m so glad that cello suite 2 didn’t come up, because that would have been absurd.

How can you get ahead in life?
“Gimme Some Lovin’” Blues Brothers Soundtrack

Yup, asking people for some lovin’ always gets you far.

What's the best thing about your friends?
“The Rhythm” The Cat Empire

My friends always find time to appreciate the lighter side of life.

What song will they play at your funeral?
“Worthy is the Lamb” Choir/ Religious Hymn

*sob* He was one worthy lamb alright that boy. Seriously, what the heck is this doing in my playlist anyway?

How does the world see you?
“Great Southern Land” Icehouse

Well I’m a little offended. I’d like to think people see me as more than that…

Will you have a happy life?
“Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major” Beethoven

Yes. Yes I will. Not feeling all that happy about including my classical playlist though.

Do people secretly lust after you?
“All I want for Christmas is you” Oliva Olson – Love Actually Soundtrack

Well, I guess they do. That’s news to me.

How can you make yourself happy?
“Respect” Aretha Franklin

I’ve got to show myself and others a bit of respect. All I’m asking is for a little respect.

What should you do with your life?
“Stuck in Moment you can’t get out of” U2

Apparently I should just be nostalgic and live in just one moment of my life.

Will you ever have children?
“Billy Jean” Michael Jackson.

Yes, but I will deny responsibility. ‘The kid is not my son.’

What song would you strip to?
“It had to be you” Frank Sinartra

Ahhh I’m a romantic at heart.

What does your mum think of you?
“I don’t remember” Powderfinger

Oh gosh… I hope not. How sad.

What is your deep, dark secret?
“It just takes some time” Jimmy Eats World

I won’t tell you just now.

What is your mortal enemy's theme song?
“Relax, don’t do it” Duran Duran

Yeah very fitting. I can see us grappling over a gun James Bond style. ‘Hey, relax Goldfinger, don’t do it! Save the world from the evil death ray.’

What's your personality like?
“Can’t Touch This” MC Hammer

Alright, I might have issues with letting people get close. Let’s just move on, ok.

What song will be played at your wedding?
“U.F.O” Sneaky Sound System

Very appropriate wedding music.

The end….

Alright, I tag Sherly and Irz (update your blog fool).
