i did this as a blog and someone suggested to do it as a thread.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
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 your cool...

This is badass. I think ima give some narroration to my answers.

Opening Credits:
Ghetto Cowboy by Mo Thugz/Bone Thugz (Fucking sweet! This is a great opener.)

Waking Up:
When Time Runs Out by Running Wild (Also awesome, just happens to have a really fast tempo, good for waking up and gettin energized)

First Day At School:
Survival of the Sickest by Saliva (Uhhh... I wasn't actually a wild child, so this might not be appropriate.)

Falling In Love:
Free Bird by Lynard Skynard (I swear, I didn't pick this one out, it was honestly 4th on shuffel, and oh so perfect.)

Fight Song:
Coming Clean by Greenday (Damnit, the one category I wanted something really good in... it's a punk song, so it's aggressive, but still not good.)

Breaking Up:
Dio by Holy Diver (Uhh... no)

Prom:
Bounty Hunter by Molly Hatchet (I never went to prom, so I'm happy that this song is nowhere near fitting for the occasion)

Life:
White Masque by Running Wild (Awesome song, about French Highwaymen... not sure how it applies to life.)

Mental Breakdown:
Long December by Counting Crows (Eh, this could be fitting if it was a more solemn type of breakdown)

Driving:
Deguello de Crockett by Carter Burwell (No, not driving music at all)

Flashback:
All I Know About Mexico by Montgomery Gentry (I don't know anything about Mexico, and would never have a flashback about it)

Wedding:
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson (Not really wedding music)

Birth of Child:
Upstarts and Broken Hearts by Dropkick Murphys (This woulda been better for wedding...)

Final Battle:
Mankind's Entrance Music (Pro-wrestler theme music, very dark and not battle worthy... maybe post battle)

Death Scene:
The Outlaw Torn by Metallica (This could work, but is generally a little too fast paced)

Funeral Song:
I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash (Works fine, I think I'd like some sort of Cash song at my funeral, failing bagpipes)

End Credit:
The Undertaker's Entrance Music/Funeral Dirge (Uhh... woulda been much better one or two answers ago, but it could work for credits, too.)

So, overview: I started off pretty strong, and ended up just plain weird. Hooah.

Place my body on a ship and burn it on the sea,
Let my spirit rise, Valkiries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

Well I had to have a go, tried a few times because I didn't realize I didn't have shuffle on, here's the final results.

OPENING CREDITS:
Bite the Hand That Feeds = NIN

WAKING UP:
Circle of Dust = Chasm (a little too heavy to wake up to)

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:
Hang On = Seether (actually spot on for me)

FALLING IN LOVE:
Twilight Techno = Dimrain47 (I don't think Techno is a good way to fall in love)

FIGHT SONG:
Chasing Sirens = Orgy (not too bad a song to fight to)

BREAKING UP:
Blue Monday = Orgy (now THAT'S perfect)

PROM:
If Everyone Cared = Nickelback (I never went to my prom but if I had this is a great song to have. One of my favorites)

LIFE:
10 Miles High = NIN

MENTAL BREAKDOWN:
Get Down Make Love = NIN (now I actually had one and it never felt like this)

DRIVING:
Reflection = Tool (I don't drive but this would be good to listen to as a driver or passenger)

FLASHBACK:
Juke Joint Jezebel = KMFDM (nothing to say bout this)

WEDDING:
Conga Feeling = DDR (ummmm...)

BIRTH:
Deine Welt = E Nomine (just wrong, so wrong)

FINAL BATTLE:
Heaven Tonight = H.I.M

DEATH SCENE:
Apricot Sun & Cinnamon Sky = Steven Cravis (a beautiful song for a beautiful death)

FUNERAL SONG:
Fire & Ice = Enya (you know I just might like this at mine)

END CREDITS:
Children of the Night = Blutengel (perfect, says so much)


Looking back at my list I realize this would be a rather weird life to see. If only it was as interesting.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting
