Stolen from Facebook... IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For the first question, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button TWICE 6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...just type it in man! 1. Opening Credits Love me Like a Man - Diana Krall 2.Waking up Pretty in Pink - Social Distortion 3. First Day of School Evil and a Heathen - Franz Ferdinand 4. Falling in Love Pretty Pink Ribbon - Cake 5. Losing Virginity The Seeker - The Who 6. Fight Song Not Big - Lily Allen 7. Break Up Song Finding out True Love is Blind - Louis XIV 8. Prom Debaser - The Pixies 9. Life Me and Mr. Jones - Amy Winehouse 10. Mental Breakdown Will Ye Be Proud - The Real McKenzies 11. Driving Fire (God of Hellfire) - Crazy World of Arthur Brown 12. Flashback Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd 13. Getting Back Together: 20th Century Boy - T-Rex 14. Wedding: Should I Stay or Should I Go - The Clash (*snicker) 15. Birth of Child: A Day in the Life - The Beatles 16. Final Battle: Exclamations - Brobdingnagian Bards 17. Death Scene: The Devil in the Kitchen - Ashley McIsaac 18. Funeral Song: Bad Moon Rising - CCR 19. End Credits: Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me - Cast of Rocky Horror Picture Show (I admit I cheated in one respect - I have 22,000 songs in Media Monkey, so I set it to shuffle only songs I had tagged as 4 stars or more - still hundreds to shuffle through!) |

The instructed methodology (hitting "shuffle") in this very important question is blasphemous and insulting! Movie soundtracks and scores are far more important than this capricious question indicates! First, one must identify the composer they most admire, or at least feel most comfortable with. For me, the top 3 are easy...Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and James Horner. Of course Thomas Newman, James Newton Howard, Jerry Goldsmith, Trevor Rabin, and many others are just as important. To pick a movie soundtrack? Hmmm...with commercial songs, you can't get a much better soundtrack than Forrest Gump's eclectic mix of original and commercial tunes. If you're a classic rock fan, then perhaps just sticking with the soundtrack from Dazed and Confused is the way to go. However for a purely original-score approach, I'd have to say that I would be more than happy to have my life themed to the ridiculously awesome original scores found in Braveheart, Gladiator, or the Bourne Supremacy. Few soundtracks are so good from beginning to end while also hitting on every level from romance to war. Just hit shuffle.........BAH! PS. Your answer to #15 I thought was pretty good! |

Psst. 89th. It's a silly game! Get over it! But yes, if I had to hire someone to score the movie about my life, I'd pick John Williams. |

I know 89th. I probably should have thrown a smiley in there as well. But I think as punishment you should do this soundtrack thing!

He's just upset, because he tried it and his end credits came up with Natural Woman by Diana Ross. |
