The Soundtrack of Life

Apartment 20 has convinced me to indulge my inner junior high school student and cast the possible musical accompaniment for my very existence to totally random chance! Here goes...

‡Opening Credits: Loreli - Styx

*Waking Up: Theme from Knight Rider

†First Day At School: Dance (While The Music Still Goes On) - ABBA

‡Falling In Love: Infrared - Placebo

†Fight Song: The Love You Save - The Jackson 5

*Breaking Up: Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World

*Prom: Then I Did - Rascal Flatts

†Life: Blackout - Muse

*Mental Breakdown: Brass Monkey - Beastie Boys

*Driving: Brimful of Asha - Cornershop

*Flashback: My Favorite Accident - Motion City Soundtrack

*Getting Back Together: Title and Registration - Death Cab For Cutie

†Wedding: Caring Is Creepy - The Shins

‡Birth of Child: Lonely Grill - Lonestar

*Final Battle: Black Capricorn Day - Jamiroquai

‡Death Scene: Battlesong - Deltron 3030

*Funeral Song: Pardon Me - Weezer

‡End Credits: Fashion Zombies - The Aquabats

Well, now that I've conducted this little exercise, I shall now rate the results:
* = a good match (funny, appropriate, etc.)
† = a bad match (totally the opposite or just wrong)
‡ = a completely nonsensical match (totally random--I wonder why?)

According to my calculations, I contrived good tunes for the various facets of my life exactly 50% of the time.

I guess that's pretty good.

The Knight Rider theme for waking up is my favorite of all of the random picks.

This isn't junior high, its boredom on a Saturday.

Battlesong is actually by Deltron 3030. Although he was the rapper for the gorillaz.... Black Capricorn day, definitely a good choice...

Jamiroquai and soundtracks...they just jive well together.
