iPod as Magic 8-ball

Filed under: — Aprille @ 4:34 pm

I’m copying this from Angie, who’s copying some guy I don’t know.

Basic instructions: set your iPod on shuffle (although I’m going to do it with iTunes since I don’t have my iPod with me at the moment), and the songs that come up answer the questions below.

How does the world see me? “Slippery People,” Talking Heads (doesn’t sound so good)
Will I have a happy life? “Raining in My Heart,” Buddy Holly (oh dear)
What do my friends think of me? “Palace of the Brine,” the Pixies (?)
Do people secretly lust after me? “Thriller,” Michael Jackson (I am a sexy, sexy zombie)
How can I make myself happy? “Happy Birthday,” Concrete Blonde (that seems logical)
What should I do with my life? “I Go Walking After Midnight,” Patsy Cline (set low goals…)
Will I ever have children? “Cat People,” David Bowie (no! I am not a crazy cat lady who refers to felines as children!)
What is some good advice for me? “S.C.O.,” John Scofield with Pat Metheny (um…)
How will I be remembered? “Under Pressure All the Time,” (50 Cent’s “High All the Time” mashed with Queen/Bowie’s “Under Pressure”; I hope I don’t come off as that stressed out)
What is my signature dancing song? “Cherry Pie,” Warrant (hah! I think it actually was, in 8th grade)
What is my current theme song? “Pumps and a Bumps,” MC Hammer (no comment)
What song will play at my funeral? “Down to the River to Pray,” Alison Krauss (wow! I’m not religious at all, but this is actually a very pretty song, and somewhat funereal)
What type of men/women do you like? “Der Kommissar,” Falco (authoritarian types, eh?)
What is your day going to be like? “Something Against You,” the Pixies (sounds like a bad omen, but actually I had a pretty good day)

That was kind of creepy. I guess I should just be glad that only two of the songs were embarrassing for the world to know that I listen to.

    My weirdest one was “Say Hello to Heaven” for “What should I do with my life?” Also, for “Will I ever have children?”, I got “The Wheels on the Bus,” which is the song Ava INSISTED on listening to over and over and over again on our trip to CO. Spooky! Lastly, the song at my funeral will be “Cool it Now,” by New Edition. Actually, that’s not a bad idea….

    What is my current theme song? “The Return of the King,” Howard Shore (From the Return of the King Soundtrack)

    Who knew I was really the reincarnation of Elvis!?!

    That was fun! I put it on my blog too!

    The best was my funeral song. It was “Brazil” by Ray Conniff. HA!

    Never mind why I have that on my iPod.
