The Music of My Life

Ms Sweets did this, and her list was quite diverse, so I am going to blatantly rip the idea off and have a go myself. I make no apologies for my love of all things 80s, and the potential for bad music to make quite an appearance.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS 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
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 and try to pretend you're cool...

Opening Credits:
Ganster Tripping – Fatboy Slim

Waking Up:
Paper Aeroplane – Angus & Julia Stone

First Day of School:
Zebra – John Butler Trio (quite cool – I could be this, I could be that, who can say on my first day at school?)

Falling in Love:
Heroin Girl - Everclear
Fight Song:
Improper Methods – Love Outside Andromeda
Breaking Up:
Power of Love – Frankie Goes to Hollywood (our first 80s appearance, and it’s the boys who brought us those brilliant “Frankie says Relax” t-shirts)
Prom:
Full of Grace – Sarah McLachlin (which would mean I was crying at my prom, given this song just reminds me of the finale of season 2 of Buffy when she is forced to send Angel to hell…)
Life:
Build Me Up Buttercup – The Goops
Mental Breakdown:
Monsters – Something for Kate (I swear I did not make this up, it just happened… spooky)
Driving:
Mony Mony – Billy Idol (I worked with a girl who thought the back up singers were singing Like a Pony, not Mony Mony)
Flashback:
Paco Doesn’t Love Me – The Spazzys
Getting Back Together:
Bigmouth Strikes Again – The Smiths (lucky it wasn’t How Soon is Now… or Girlfriend in a Coma, really)
Wedding:
Dammit (Growing Up) {live version with a bit of a Vanilla Ice “Ice Ice Baby” bit done in the interlude} – Blink 182
Birth of Child:
Don’t Mug Yourself – The Streets (oh God, my child is going to be a chav)
Final Battle:
Wallet Puffer Smokes Keys - The Cops
Death Scene:
Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep On His Pirate Ship – The Wiggles (back off bitches, The Wiggles rock and I am quite upset about Greg having to leave them because he’s ill, orright)
Funeral Song:
Rappers Delight – The Sugarhill Gang (and to think, I always wanted Ding Dong the Witch is Dead)
First orgy:
Undone (The Sweater Song) – Weezer
Meeting Leonardo DiCaprio in a NY club:
Intergalactic – Beastie Boys (why Leonardo DiCaprio? do I get to punch him in the face, all the while shouting that’s for Titanic, three hours of my life I’m never getting back?)
Getting really drunk at your friend's wedding:
Sunglasses At Night – Corey Hart (not Bryan Adams, Steph…)
Crashing your car:
Last Night – The Strokes
Overdose scene:
Song 2 – Blur (woo hoo!)
End Credits:
Think – Aretha Franklin

Quite a diverse mix. Although I am a little glad that nothing from my Barbara Streisand/Barry Gibb “Guilty” cd was featured. Or anything from my Michael Crawford collection... Then everyone would think I was not so cool as a big diva loving geek. Or possibly a gay man.
