Because I can

Yet again not sleeping so thought I'd do something productive. Okay, this is by no stretch of the imagination even remotely productive. But I'm doing it anyway.

I did this a little over a year ago (with My Soundtrack, Take 2) so I figure it is okay to do again, and even if it isn't - my blog, my rules. Deal.

My Soundtrack, Take 3
So, I wanted to do this with my "Top Rated" playlist, which is one of the top playlists if I'm not listing to my "Moody" playlist or my "Current Favs" one. Our of 400 some songs, lets see what we get.

If my life were a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle, for every question, type the song that's playing
3. Press play
4. When you go to a new question, press the next button
5. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...


Opening Credits: Rock n' Me by the Steve Miller Band. Okay, cool song. Not really sure how this works for opening credits music but who cares. SMB rocks.

Waking Up: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers. Hey, it starts "When I wake up" so rock on! But then it says "I'm gonna be the man" so we have a little problem with that. Gender issues already and this is just the credits. This could get ugly.

First Day At School: White Sandy Beach of Hawaii by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Um, okay. Maybe I see the really cute popular guy and go straight into a little fantasy sequence that takes place on the beach. Or else I go to beach bum school. Okay, that's kinda cool.

Falling In Love: Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic. Why do I always have such weird falling-in-love songs? The last one was Beer for My Horses by Toby Keith. This time I'm falling in love with an Amish guy? Cause you know, those outfits are so sexy. And a man that can drive a buggy, oh yeah....

Fight Song: Business by Emenim. Dude, I'm a superhero! To the Rap-mobile! Or else my fight is a little freestyle rapping. Because yeah, that's so me.

Breaking Up: Right Now by SR-71. Okay, this kind of works. I see a montage with break-ups and make-ups over and over ending in an ultimate break up. Though why does my break up song have "She may not be Miss Right" and "You know I used to be such a nice boy". More gender issues? Ugh.

Prom: Show Me Your Glory by Third Day. Christian school prom? Or perhaps slow dancing with Jesus? Why do I always have weird prom songs? Of course, not like the rest of this has been normal.

Life is good: Let's Get It Started by Black Eyed Pea. Why is this song on my Top Rated? Oh wait, good beat. Lordy, I have such crap taste in music.

Mental Breakdown: Check by Teddybears STHLM. Okay, really like this song, but how would this be mental breakdown. Unless one must have electronica/dance to truly get the most out of a breakdown. I picture manic crying. Running mascara. And bubbles.

Driving: Punk Rock 101 by Bowling for Soup. Hmm. Okay, I do tend to have delusions of grandeur when I am driving down the highway, windows down and music blaring. But under no way am I even close to punk.

Flashback: Looks by Mike Doughty. I'm flashing back to people giving me funny looks? Of course, if I push every button on the elevator when someone is in there with me, I'd be giving me a look too.

Getting Back Together: Why Don't You Get a Job by the Offspring. Yeah, so not a "get back together" song unless I'm in a very unhappy relationship. I'll get back together with Amish guy so I don't have to work but he wants me to get a job? Maybe I can learn to quilt?

Wedding: Sexyback by Justin Timberlake. Wow, Amish guy is more progressive than I thought if this is our wedding song. Apparently, Amish guy is sexy. Woo hoo! It's the big ole beard that does it, I bet.

Birth of Child: I'm a Believer by Smashmouth. Okay, I now believe in love because I had a baby girl and the red, wrinkly face of a newborn hairless monkey, uh, baby, makes me believe in fairy tales. Yeah, this works not so great even though it can be twisted. This whole thing is twisted.

Final Battle: Indian Reservation by Paul Revere and the Raiders. Apparently, I am fighting THE MAN. And I'm part Native American. Who knew? I think I'd rather go back to the fight scene where I got to be a superhero and have a Rap-mobile.

Death Scene: Tsuki Ga Naiteru by Ayano. Aw, yay, the moon is crying for me because I'm so gentle and cute. We'll ignore that this is a love song and concentrate on the crying thing and the rain and wind. Very sweet death song. Sigh.

Funeral Song: Where'd You Go by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Dude, that ultimate question at this time. Though a little peppier than I would anticipate given the fact that, you know, it's my FUNERAL!

End Credits: Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Atkins. Oh. My. Lord. Why? Why? I'm seeing credits rolling over my butt. This. Is. So. Wrong.

Well boys and girls, what have we learned today? I think basically what I've learned is that my playlist has some of the most random songs and I should be very embarrassed to admit what is on there. Yep, that's my lesson.

I would love to see the travesties of soundtracks people come up with, so do this, post it on your blog so I can go and laugh and feel better about my iTunes playlist. Please?
