Music Quiz

Courtney pointed out how ridiculous it is that I did not do this for Andrew Bird, so I'm adding my second quiz just below this one, Andrew BIRD style! YO!

Friend Jon posted this, and I decided to follow suit.

Rules of the game:
- Choose a singer/band/group
- Answer using ONLY titles of songs by that singer/band/group

I choose R.E.M., because I've been listening to them since I was 13. Though I was sorely tempted to choose Journey, and put "Don't Stop Believin'" for every single answer.

1. Are you male or female?
"I Am Superman"

2. Describe yourself.
"Man on the Moon"

3. What do people feel when they're around you?
"Strange"

4. How would you describe your previous relationships?
"Everybody Hurts"

5. Describe your current relationship.
"At My Most Beautiful"

6. Where would you want to be now?
"Half A World Away"

7. How do you feel about love?
"I Believe"

8. What's your life like?
"Losing My Religion" (though I also wanted to answer "So Fast, So Numb")

9. What would you ask for if you had only one wish?
"Life and How To Live It"

10. Say something wise.
"It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)."

LEONARD BERNSTEIN!

And now done with Andrew Bird titles:

1. Are you male or female?
"I"

2. Describe yourself.
"Heretics"

3. What do people feel when they're around you?
"Self Torture"

4. How would you describe your previous relationships?
"MX Missiles"

5. Describe your current relationship.
"Satisfied"

6. Where would you want to be now?
"Way Out West"

7. How do you feel about love?
"Don't Be Scared"

8. What's your life like?
"A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left"

9. What would you ask for if you had only one wish?
"Wishing For Contentment"

10. Say something wise.
"Why?"

"Black"

3. What do people feel when they're around you?
"Love Is Dead"

4. How would you describe your previous relationships?

I think from now on if I'm stumped on a question, I'm going to respond "um... Black vomit!"

That or "errr... Stabbed in the face!"

"whiteliberalonwhiteliberalaction"

That's pretty darn hilarious. My world is slightly better knowing that song title exists.

Wait... this could show my lack of cultural culture (is there any other kind?), but why the random shout out to the Maestro?

Next time I see you, I'll play "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" for you, and you'll understand.

It's something that people who spent their life listening to rock and roll would get, but not necessarily someone who spent their life listening to musical theater, so you're forgiven.
