Daily Dose of Procrastination

I should be working on something more important, undoubtedly, but I got really curious after reading the meme below on J's blog. So I blame her. (Not really.)

My Life as a Soundtrack

The Rules:
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 you're cool.

Opening Credits: Rhapsody for Jazz Ensemble (sorry, no composer on this one - it's from a recording by my alma mater music program at the opening of the new music building on campus. Great song.)

First Day At School: Music, Maestro, Please (Harry Connick Jr)

Falling In Love: My Funny Valentine (Miles Davis) (I am not making this up - good choice, ipod.)

Breaking Up: Rejoice, Greatly, O Daughter of Zion (Handel’s Messiah) (This is my favorite. Unusual choice, certainly, but still - "Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Thy horrible boyfriend hast been smoted!" Or whatever.)

1st date: Spring is Here (Nat King Cole)

Prom: You Learn (Alanis Morissette)

Life's OK: Don’t Be That Way (Benny Goodman)

Driving: Death of the First Born, from Prince of Egypt (Hans Zimmer) (I do listen to a lot of soundtracks. And I do like to sing along to a few Prince of Egypt tunes in the car. Probably not this one, though.)

Flashback: Too Young (Natalie Cole)

Getting Back Together: Forgotten (Storyhill)

Wedding: Can’t Run But (Paul Simon)

Final Battle: Why Georgia (John Mayer)

Death Scene: Mudd Island Chase from The Firm (Dave Grusin)

Funeral Song: Jimi Thing (Dave Matthews Band)

End Credits: How We Operate (Gomez)
