Meme Music Quiz

I stumbled across this on a friend of a friend's blog and thought I'd give it a try. Basicly you set your itunes, or in my case my MP3 player, to play randomly and the song that plays is the answer to the question. Give it a go and no cheating!

How does the world see me?
Silver Road- Sarah Harmer with The Tragically Hip (Men with Brooms soundtrack)

Interesting one. A beautiful song but now I'm paranoid that the world thinks I'm a fictional character in a modern-Bronte-type novel.
"Had you been thinking that you were all alone,
While I still thought of you"

How do I see myself?
Wearing Me Down- Dashboard Prophets (Burning Out The Inside)

I am my own worse enemy, so the title makes sense. I'm also easily frustrated by some people.
"It's not what you've done,
It's what you said"

Will I have a happy life?
You Got The Love (Now Voyager Mix)- The Source featuring Candy Staton (cd single)

A song about faith? Apart from the odd pitfall to overcome that's a yes then. Wonder if the fact it's an extended mix is relevant...
"Occasionally,
My thoughts are brave and friends are few"


What do my friends really think of me?
See The Sun- Black Lab (EP)

What's this obsession with the world seeing me as some sort of romantic figure? What's going on? Another beautiful song and my partners name gets used so its got added significance for me.
"I'm by your side
And I feel fine"

Do people secretly lust after me?
Something For The Weekend- The Divine Comedy (cd single)

Er...? Apparently I'm seen as a one night stand.
"If it's nothing like you say
Then you can have your wicked way with me"

How can I make myself happy?
All You Good Good People- Embrace (cd single)

Stand up and say what's important to me.
"You won't have to fake it while I'm around"

What should I do with my life?
Hungry (Radio Edit)- Kosheen (cd single)

Eat more? Or maybe chase some of my goals a little. Knowing me I'll go for the first option.
"You're like a child with old eyes
Cynical and sensible, always full of surprises"

How do I see the world?
If You Believe- Our Lady Peace (Spiritual Machines)

It's all gone wrong and it can't let go of the past, but there is some hope.
"You thought you could buy your last piece of mind"

Will I ever have children?
I Did It- Dave Matthews Band (Everyday)

Yes I did. Very true.
"You better lock me up I'll do it again"

What is some good advice for me?
Grazed Knees- Snow Patrol (Final Straw)

Don't be scared. Another sublime song by the way.
"Just give a second thought
What if we don't get caught"

How will I be remembered?
Could I Be You- Matchbox Twenty (More Than You Think You Are)

Women want me, men want to be me... maybe.
"You're laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive"


What is my signature dancing song?
Sophia- Bif Naked (I Bificus)

A song about a lesbian couple? Sure, I'll dance for lesbians.
Actually it's about her dog. Sorry to disappoint anyone.
"When ya pant at me, Sophia, I know what you're thinking"

What do I think my current theme song is?
Take Me Away- Lifehouse (Stanley Climbfall)

I reckon the title speaks for itself. :-)
"There is no one else who can take your place"

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Warm Machine- Bush (The Science of Things)

okaaaaay... So everyone sees me as a... machine. That's warm. My friends see me as a radiator. Either that or everyone wants to see me chained to a radiator. That's just mean.
A song about trying to fit in and be a part of something.
"There's a thousand miles to go
Without blinking"

What song will play at my funeral?
Mass Romantic- The New Pornographers (Men with Brooms soundtrack)

A fantasticly upbeat song for a funeral. Actually I've always thought Meatloaf's 'Life is a Lemon and I Want my Money Back' was the ultimate funeral song. But what on earth is going on with this romantic theme? How many women are there going to be at my funeral?!
"Like everyone wants to say 'I love you'
To someone on the radio"

What type of men/women do I like?
Nearly Impossible- Face to Face (Ignorance is Bliss)

Going by that title I'd say unobtainable ones. We're back to the lesbians again I'd guess.
"Highly improbable
But not hopeless"

What is my day/night going to be like?
Kick Some Ass- Stroke 9 (Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back soundtrack)

A great, fun song, so here's hoping!
"And how many people are sick of holding it back?"

You seem to have everyone convinced you're a romantic soul at heart. aaw. are you in fact Lord Byron?

Very definately not. And let's not confuse being a romantic with being a poet. Byron would have stuck it in mud if he'd have thought it would wriggle.

Although he did have a pet badger so he couldn't have been all bad.

And before anyone asks, there's no record of Byron ever having had a pet clown.

The Welshman could be another matter.

Finally a man who recognises that, for them, lesbians are unobtainable. That's rarer than you'd think!
