so, on my myspace, i get messaged all these silly lists. some of them are completely stupid and ridiculous, but some of them are rather interesting and fun. one of my students sent this one:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS 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 your cool…

here’s my list:

open credits - weezer - undone (the sweater song)
waking up - sun ra - enlightenment
first day of school - korn - another brick in the wall, pts 1, 2, & 3
falling in love - the future sound of london - divinity
fight song - johnny cash - let the train the blow the whistle
breaking up - trisha yearwood - (you’re the) devil in disguise
prom - luke doucet - broken one
life’s ok - nazareth - love hurts
mental breakdown - super xx man - usual way
driving - the go-gos - unforgiven
flashback - the beastie boys - gratitude
getting back together - nirvana - heartbreaker (live, 1987)
wedding - man… or astroman? - shape
final battle - jose gonzalez - slow moves
funeral song - danny elfman - wonka’s welcome song
end credits - robert plant - come into my life

for posterities sake, i should admit that i did skip to the next song when it landed on my audiobook of kerouac’s “on the road.”
