MP3 Game.Bec

MP3 Game.

Because I'm bored and I feel like writing one.

Get your MP3 player, computer, or any other music-playing device. Put your music on shuffle. The order the songs come up is the answer to the following questions:

1. Who are you?
2. Are you alive?
3. Is this the real life?
4. Why are we here?
5. What item is right next to you?
6. What was the last thing you ate?
7. Where do you live?
8. What song will play at your funeral?
9. What will trigger the end of the world?
10. What are you wearing?

I'll do one or two rounds to demonstrate:

1. Who are you? Born for This (Paramore)
2. Are you alive? Grow Up (Paramore. Must be alive if I can grow.)
3. Is this the real life? Little Talks (Of Monsters and Men)
4. Why are we here? Fences (Paramore. To build fences.)
5. What item is right next to you? I've Seen That Movie Too (Elton John. Um...movie tickets?)
6. What was the last thing you ate? I Put A Spell On You (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
7. Where do you live? The Lonely Surfer (from a random surf CD. On the ocean?)
8. What song will play at your funeral? MMIX (Coldplay. More of an interlude than a song. DARN!)
9. What will trigger the end of the world? Miserlou (More random surf songs. Sigh.)
10. What are you wearing? Dying is Fine (Ra Ra Riot. Guess I don't care about clothes.)

ROUND TWO!

1. Who are you? Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple)
2. Are you alive? Mountain Sound (Of Monsters and Men)
3. Is this the real life? You're My Best Friend 1991 Remix (Queen)
4. Why are we here? Lookin' Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
5. What item is right next to you? Mustache Man (Cake--funny.)
6. What was the last thing you ate? Down on the Corner (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
7. Where do you live? South California Purples (Chicago. Finally, a semi-answer!)
8. What song will play at your funeral? Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochran...funny. Maybe I'll die in summer.)
9. What will trigger the end of the world? Help! (The Beatles. Very fitting.)
10. What are you wearing? Hate to See Your Heart Break (Paramore)

I'm going to do two, also.

 

Round One

1) Who are you?

Baby, It's You by The Beatles (I am you.)

2) Are you alive?

For No One by The Beatles (Wow, that actually sounds like an answer.)

3) Is this real life?

Bride's Lament by The Drowsy Chaperone original Broadway cast (No, it's a musical from the 30's)

4) Why are we here?

Dare You to Move  originally by Switchfoot, but this is the KidzBop version because it's actually a good CD.  Don't judge.  

5)  What item is right next to you?

Trebles Finals: Bright Lights, Bigger City/Magic by the Treblemakers from Pitch Perfect 

6) What was the last thing you ate?

Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright (Isn't there a food company called Hallelujah?)

7) Where do you live? *crosses fingers, hoping Nerdfighteria Island pops up*

Home from the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical (Well, that was fortunate.)

8) What song will play at your funeral?

In My Life from the Les Mis movie (Again with the fortune!  Thanks, iPad!)

9) What will trigger the end of the world?

Gold Rush by Ed Sheeran

10) What are you wearing?

Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles (Well, either you can wear people now or Eleanor Rigby has become a famous fashion designer.)

Round Two

1) Who are you?

The Siamese Cat Song performed by B5, originally from Lady and the Trap (Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.  I'm really a feline, guys.xD)

2) Are you alive?

One Little Spark by Billy Barty and Chuck McCann from the Imagination pavilion in Epcot, back when the Dreamfinder was there.  (No, I'm a Figment of imagination.)

3) Is this real life?

Nothing by the Script (Well, that's depressing.)

4) Why are we here?

If Only (quartet)  by The Little Mermaid original Broadway cast 

5) What item is right next to you?

Go the Distance by Lucas Grabeel originally from Hercules (A ruler.)

6) What was the last thing you ate?

Say You Like Me by We The Kings 

7) Where do you live?

Mr. Know It All by Kelly Clarkson

8) What song will you play at your funeral?

Please Please Me by The Beatles (It's not a bad song...)

9) What will trigger the end of the world?

I Want to Tell You by The Beatles (Well, that's frustrating.)

10) What are you wearing?

Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo

 

Wow, my iPad loves the Beatles today.

I'm using Pandora on shuffle, because we have no iPod ish thing in our house.

 

1. Who are you?

I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair from the 2008 South Pacific Broadway Cast.  A bottle of shampoo?

2. Are you alive?

Skibereen by Mick Moloney.  Nonsense word open to interpretation by the audience.

3. Is this the real life?

One from A Chorus Line. "Do I really have to mention?" always sounds like "Do I really have dementia?", so no.  I'm demented.

4. Why are we here?

Whiskey You're the Devil by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.  I do not agree with alchohol being the reason for life on earth.  No further comment.

5. What item is right next to you?

On the Overgrown Path For Piano.  A leafy road?

6. What was the last thing you ate?

Here I switched to just Broadway ish radio, because Pandora was being annoying.  Consider Yourself from Oliver.  And it just said "empty larder days", so nothing.

7. Where do you live?

Chim Chim Cher-Ee from Mary Poppins.  A chimney!

8. What song will play at your funeral?

You'll Be In My Heart from Tarzan.  That would actually make sense, sort of.

9. What will trigger the end of the world?

Doll On A Music Box/Truly Scrumptious (Reprise) from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  An imprisoned army of dolls.  On a side note, the book is completely different from the movie, although the difference is so great that it's hard to compare them properly.

10. What are you wearing?

Impossible, from Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.  A ball gown?

Over all, a thoroughly puzzling answer set.

7. Where do you live?

Alaska. (Sky Sailing.) Okay, that's just a little bit creepy. (I don't actually live in Alaska. But still.)

8. What song will play at your funeral?

Hahahaha I just had this flashback to one of my friends saying, "At my funeral, I'm going to pay people to play Welcome To the Jungle, turn on strobe lights, and drop my body from the ceiling on wires."

True story.

Hot Air Balloon. (Owl City.)

IRONYIRONYIRONYIRONY

For those of you who do not know that song (probably everyone) go give it a listen and see if it reminds you of a funeral.

9. What will trigger the end of the world?

Vanilla Twilight. (Owl City.)

10. What are you wearing?

Silver Blueberry. (Port Blue.)

Huh . . .
