Soundtrack

I got this from one of my favourite blogs, Lane’s Write; it’s a rather fun meme.

If Your 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
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…because you’re not!
7. Stick the soundtrack on your mp3 player and listen away during the day.

Opening Credits – Cornflake Girl, Tori Amos
Waking Up – Hitsville UK, The Clash
First Day at School – Mountain Dew, Dubliners/Pogues
Falling in Love – The Boy With The Thorn In His Side (live), The Smiths
Fight Song – Tony Adams, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Breaking Up – Lilac Wine, Jeff Buckley
Prom/Dance/Ball – Song To The Siren, Chemical Brothers
Life’s OK – Oh Well, Fleetwood Mac
Mental Breakdown – Sunday Morning Coming Down, Johnny Cash
Flashback – Spark, Tori Amos
Getting Back Together – Corner Soul, The Clash
Birth of Child – Turkish Song of the Damned, The Pogues
Wedding – Safe European Home, The Clash
Final Battle – John Fields’ Nocturne, No. 1 in E Flat

I especially love Hitsville UK as a waking up song, but I would worry a little about the birth of the child one, despite it being an excellent song.
