Since Holz was curious, I'm doing the quiz but sticking to English. (Even Celine Dion didn't make my list.)
1. Song that sounds like happy feels:
Song 2, by Blur
2. Earliest memory:
My mother singing a song at the kitchen sink "I'm nobody's child" which I hated hearing because it made her cry, even if I didn't understand the lyrics or know anything about the song. (Still don't.)
3. Last CD you bought:
Can't remember. Don't generally buy them. Possibly the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack, though technically I bought Kylie's greatest hits for someone at Christmas.
4. Reminds you of school:
The Boomtown Rats "I don't like Mondays". Because work is not so bad, even on a Monday morning, when you're the CEO. But school was a nightmare, especially on Mondays.
5. Total music files on your PC:
Which PC? I've got a quite pathethic 5 at work. I recently backedup by music from home onto two DVDs, but it was approximately 1500 music files.
6. Song for listening to repeatedly when depressed:
Anything by Nick Cave, or the Radiohead track which closes off "Romeo and Juliet" or the track "Wonderful life" by Black. And recently "Dad" by K's Choice, for obvious reasons.
7. Song that sounds British, but isn't:
Anything by U2.
8. Song you love, band you hate:
Road to Hell, by Chris Rea
9. A favorite song from the past that took ages to track down:
Honey by Bobby Goldsborough or Summer (the First Time) by Bobby Goldsborogh.
10. Bought the album for one good song:
The Alan Parsons Project "Old and Wise"
11. Worst Song to Get Stuck in your Head:
Kenny McCormick and Mr. Hanky sing "The most offensive Christmas song ever". It's impossible for me not to laugh like a loon when that song is playing in my head.
12. Best song to dump a beer on someone's head to, then storm out of the bar?:
Talk about a silly question. Even if I dumped a beer on someone instead of drinking it (like, if it was Bud or Heineken or carlsberg or Harp or some other muck) there's no way you could just storm out of the bar. Tossing the drink is going to get you in a fight, period.
13. Who should do this next?:
KMan. Because I don't know enough about Christian rock.
