Well that was pretty funny I guess. But it would’ve been a lot better if there were more songs I actually know and like! My iPod’s kind of a mess, it’s full of tons of songs that I haven’t even heard yet, that I got off MP3-blogs or wherever. If you’re wondering what I’m actually listening to you’re better off checking my AudioScrobbler.
#19 though, hoooooly shiiiiiiit!!!! ‘Cuz it just so happens I have the most ferocious crush on that same exact song! I think the oracle must be just fuckin’ with my head there.

I just tried this meme on my own blog. My response to #3 was "Maneater," which makes no sense at all. But then the response to #9 was "No Glory" by Josef K, which is accurate, and #15 was "Waterloo Sunset," which I think would make a lovely funeral song…so who knows?
