The Soundtrack of My Life

1. Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing.
5. New question – press the next button.
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool.

I don't really have an mp3 library and so I did this with a mixed CD I made recently ("My First 60 CDs", though you can see I relied heavily on only a few). Not many LOLs -- maybe just one. Okay, I see 2.

* Opening credits:
"Gump" Weird Al

* Waking up:
"Cavity Search" Weird Al

* First day at school:
"Rock and Roll Creation": Spinal Tap

* Falling in love:
"Mr. Tambourine Man": The Byrds

* Breaking up:
"Wonderful Tonight": Eric Clapton

* Prom:
"Jurassic Park" Weird Al (too much Weird Al!!)
(I never went to any of my grads. I'm not sure if we had any.)

* Life’s okay:
"The River of Life": Billy Joel

* Mental breakdown:
"The Majesty of Rock": Spinal Tap

* Driving:
