1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.).
2. Put it on shuffle and press play.
3. For every question, type the song that's playing. When you go to a new question, go to the next song.
4. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.
(I'm lying a little, to exclude the reams of audiobooks in my iTunes library. Music only.)
Opening Credits: Mediaeval Baebes, "So Spricht Das Leben." Creepy and atmospheric and German. The credits are probably black and white, with a gothic script font that's either broken or distorted in some way. V. cool.
Waking up: Bach, Fugue No. 8 in e-flat minor, performed by Vladimir Feltsman. This is clearly a very weird and emo soundtrack. I love bach, but not usually to wake up to. Unless it's the fourth of the two-part inventions, which is all perky and excited.
Falling in Love: "The Letter," Kristin Hersh. God, this is the most emo movie ever.I must be in love with someone really weird.
Fight Song: "Can't Get Enough of You Baby," Smash Mouth. A fight in a disco! With wacky organ bits! In collusion with all the other emo, this is fairly hipsterish. Ironic use of pop as a symbol for intimate violence.
Breaking Up: "Solitude," Evanescence.
Prom: ""Spice Up Your Life," Spice Girls. Apparently the movie of my life is very, VERY 90's.
Life is Good: Voices of Ascension, "Exultate Deo." Okay, we're exulting. Clearly, life actually is good.
Mental Breakdown: "Summersong," The Decemberists. My mental breakdown involves turning into a lesbian Ophelia, unable to differentiate between my desire for her and my own imagined lovemaking in the sea, and I nearly drown, like one native and indu'd unto that element.
Driving: "Lady Marmalade." I used to drive around cranking this all the time in high school, singing along to the soprano line and feeling like hot shit.
Flashback: Pete Seeger, "Ain't It A Shame." I have flashbacks to my daddy with his banjo, teaching me right from wrong, and that we all have to take care of one another. This motivates me to recover from my lesbian aquatic slump, and to renew my dedication to causes of social justice.
Getting Back Together: "No Such Thing," John Mayer. We realize that we can let go of everything we've been taught, and love each other purely and without strife. This happens in the high school library, where I've gone to help kids with literacy. We kiss on the spot where we first met, in the "Fiction-T" section.
Wedding: Pete Seeger, "We Shall Overcome." I think we're maybe gay, and this is a multiple wedding held on the steps of the Capitol Building as marriage equality legislation is signed.
Night Before the War: Indigo Girls, "Clampdown." THEY WANT TO TAKE OUR GAY AWAY. WE WILL NOT LET THEM!
Final Battle: Simon and Garfunkle, "Kathy's Song." This is a sad battle montage, because the national guard comes in and starts gunning down gay couples, who perish in each other's arms. We collect their wedding rings as symbols of queer oppression, and make them into garlands for the monument we'll build.
Moment of Triumph: "Great Divide," The Cardigans. I think maybe this is the part where everyone puts down their guns and starts making out, where love - or at least sex - triumphs over war. Peace is restored, by we will always remember those who perished on the field.
Death Scene: "Quand Vous Mourez de Nos Amours," Rufus Wainwright. Though we eventually die of old age, it can't taint the beauty of our life or our love. We're buried in a single grave, and Rufus Wainwright sings our eulogy while wearing Swedish milkmaid drag.
Funeral Song: "The Blue Danube Waltz," Strauss. OUR BODIES, BURIED IN THE EARTH, GROW INTO FLOWERS AND EVENTUALLY, AFTER MILLENNIA, BECOME PART OF A STAR!
End credits: "Famous Blue Raincoat," Tori Amos. Aaaaad back to emo. Gothic splintered font, black and white artsy ivy patterns around the edges of the screen. fade to black.
