iceinyourmusicI made way too much tuna-veggie-goo for my pasta. Can I use it on tuna-veggie-goo sandwiches now? Tune in next week to find out.
1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
"This Mess We're In" by PJ Harvey. (Or, you know, "Minä suojelen sinua kaikelta" by Ultra Bra, forever andever and evaaa-aah, but. you know.)
2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
Can't think of anything - although I guess I wasn't feeling too peachy around the time of the Cd-Player Stuck On Playing Cry Me A River 26 Times In A Row incident, does that count?
3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and winded up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
"Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis (not that my dislike for, say, "Wonderwall" is particularly violent - just, meh).
4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but about which you later learned you were incorrect.
This would be just about every song I've ever heard in my life ever, but. Let's say "Mr. Zebra" by Tori Amos, as I hilariously enough actually did think I knew the lyrics, at one point. bwaha.
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
"My Old Man" by Joni Mitchell, on Blue.
6. Song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
Skip, as I can't bring myself to care enough to think about this.
7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair.
Too tired to choose. Something Eminem, no doubt. skip.
8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
"Still Alive" by The Crash, though the objective Britishness of the sound is debatable, I'm pretty sure.
9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
"Wish You Were Here" by Rednex, which I still have no copy of, though continue to wish I did, only not so much that I'd actually go out and buy, like, albums or such.
10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
"Paris Train" by Beth Orton.
11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
"The Two of Us" by *NSYNC, hands down. Not so much for the lyrics as for the beat, maybe. But, yes.
12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
Laura Branigan's "Self Control", which I only have on an '80s compilation album. Or "Face in a Cloud" by Audio Bullys, on Muzik's Bassline Pressure bonus cd. Surely neither one of these really counts.
13. A song from your past that would be considered politically incorrect now (and possibly was then).
Used to really really really like Abba's "When I Kissed the Teacher", though the political incorrectness of that is probably a bit vanilla.
14. A song sung by an overweight person.
Bah. skip.
15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwisehate find fairly uninteresting or annoying, sometimes.
"Sexed Up" by Robbie Williams. (It's the "find another you" bit.)
16. A song by a band (whose members actually play instruments) that features three or more female members.
Sahara Hotnights play instruments, right? "Drive Dead Slow".
17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
"Return to Sender" by one Mr. Presley, dude - I seem to remember we even made up a dance choreography to it, the cousin and me.
18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
I don't think I've ever really been mocked, much, for liking any particular song, possibly because I've always been mocked so much for my lame taste in music in general that I've never really developed the habit of talking about specific songs with my friends. But, hey, admitting to liking "I Got You" by Nick Carter did earn me a point and a laugh or two, I'm fairly sure.
19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard.
I'll go with Maija Vilkkumaa's cover version of "Peltirumpu" just because I'm reasonably sure none of you have heard it. ("Version you think no one else has heard", really, now. What do you think I am? Some sort of an obscure music connoisseur? If it's not featured in the top 40 on Kiss FM between seven and ten in the morning on weekdays, I haven't heard it.)
20. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation.
Still too tired. skip.
21. A song you've listened to while fucking/masturbating.
Uhm. "Can't Fight the Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes, but let's not ever talk about that.
22. A song not in English -- preferably a foreign-language version of an English-language hit.
"Keresem a szót" by I-wish-I-could-find-the-Barátok közt-soundtrack-tape-and-check (Rudi Krisz? Krisz Rudi? something), which continues to be a Hungarian version of "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You". Also another one I'd like to locate any given copy of, right now.
Turns out I can't keep up with a discussion for two hours in a row, these days, unless you want to talk about my cd collection, or books I've read so recently I still remember the plot.
