Soundtrack of My Life

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 (feel free to annotate, since snarky commentary is half the fun)
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

Opening Credits

"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps"- Doris Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUVT1NZtZPo

Ah, memories of ballroom class with Rob. I learned to rhumba to this song. I think I'm going to like this picture.

Waking Up

"Deadbeat Club"- B-52s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KyhesAa-DA

Nice, mellow and happy song to wake up to. I'm probably still half dreaming at this point.

First Day of School

"Dawn is a Feeling"- The Moody Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuxnZvlvOqw

Appropriate. It's easier to get through school if it all seems like a dream.

Falling in Love

"Drive My Car"- The Beatles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ts2U1mkfz4

I'm falling in love with my chauffeur? Or there is a cool car somehow.

Love Scene

"Science Fiction/Double Feature (Reprise)"- Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpwGClS_-sA

We must be all worked up from watching the movie (this is the closing credits after all). But are we at home or at the theater?

Breaking Up

"Bubbles"- Dressy Bessy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiFDEziHJRI&playnext=1&list=PLC8931369C52A10E3

From Heroes and Villains," music inspired by the Powerpuff Girls. Apparently, I'm taking the break-up very well.

Life is Good

"Honey Don't"- The Beatles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiFDEziHJRI&playnext=1&list=PLC8931369C52A10E3

I picture a charming montage of me enjoying life post-breakup. Maybe going to the comic book store and buying something silly. And trying on hats.

Mental Breakdown

"Fly Me High"- The Moody Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4XuaZmO6lg

As far as breakdowns go, this one sounds pretty cool.

Driving

"Yesterday"- Paul McCartney Live in New York City

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH5x1ChYhcI

Here's where I start getting all weepy. Or maybe I just really wish I was married to Macca.

Flashback

"What You Feel"- Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once More With Feeling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gNUmJROzwM

What a weird flashback.

Getting Back Together

"Hush ("Silent Night/ First Kiss etc.)"- Buffy the Vampire Slayer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Iuk_wb0OE

Probably an excellent sign that this relationship should not be resumed.

Wedding

"Reflections in the Pond"- Reflections of Nature: Zen and the Art of Relaxation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K610NUXh8A

I'm getting married by a pond, all peaceful and nature-like. Perhaps the calm before the storm.

Birth of Child

"Let it Be"- Macca Live in NYC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6T5C-jzSH0&feature=related

Okay, that's kinda beautiful.

Final Battle

"Super Heroes"-The Rocky Horror Picture Show

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQ0tNoVXKk

Oh, this battle did not end well.

Death Scene

"Smoking Banana Peels"- Dead Milkmen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMOhkdhsWsI

Someone slipped me a joint as I lay wounded and dying. How thoughtful.

End Credits

"Rise and Shine"- End Credits for the Flintstones (1960)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg_mnsoOVok

Perfect.
