The Shuffle Game- Themes Of You

[Mr Silver]

Thought this might be a cool and fun thing to do (although its very much overdone)

Premise is simple, stick your Ipod or any other musical device with a shuffle function and then put what song comes up next to the questions below

(Sorry about the basic questions, but i've tried for gender neutrality, sexuality neutrality, etc but i'm sure we'll get some interesting "themes" none the less)


1.) Theme You Were Born To

2.) Theme Of Your First Day At School

3.) Theme Of Your First Love

4.) Theme Of Your Teenage Years

5.) Theme Of Your First Car

6.) Theme Of Your First Job

7.) Theme Of Your Wedding/Civil Ceremony

8.) Theme Of Your "Decision Making"

9.) Theme Of Your Best Friend

10.) Theme Of Your First House

 

[RJDiogenes]

My musical device is Winamp on my laptop.

1.) Theme You Were Born To
"Right Back Where We Started From"

2.) Theme Of Your First Day At School
"Killer Queen"

3.) Theme Of Your First Love
"Talk Of The Town"

4.) Theme Of Your Teenage Years

"I'm Too Sexy"

Well, that could have been funnier. I'm tempted to falsify the results.

 

[Holdfast]

Why not, I'm bored enough. And I swear, I didn't cheat on any of these, they were what came up with shuffle, which is pretty hilarious considering how appropriate some of them are:



Theme You Were Born To - James Bond, Scouting for Girls (hell, YES)

Theme Of Your First Day At School - Highway to Hell, AC/DC (actually, school wasn't bad, but it sure felt that way on that first day!)

Theme Of Your First Love - Fun, Fun, Fun, The Beach Boys (yeah, I'd go for that)

Theme Of Your Teenage Years - Don't Leave Me This Way, The Communards (lol, so true!)

Theme Of Your First Car - The One And Only, Chesney Hawkes (damn, the first song that really doesn't work, as I've had several)

Theme Of Your First Job - Great Balls of Fire, Jerry Lee Lewis (funny, 'cos my first job when I was a junior doc was in Urology)

Theme Of Your Wedding/Civil Ceremony - Something Inside So Strong, Labi Siffre (pretty romantic theme, so yeah, why not)

Theme Of Your "Decision Making" - Rockin' All Over the World (OK there's seriously something freaky with shuffle)

Theme Of Your Best Friend - That's My Goal, Shane Ward (eh, the run of synchronicity had to break down somewhere, though frankly I'm more concerned about the fact that you all now know I have an X-Factor winner's single on my hard drive)

Theme Of Your First House - Hand on Your Heart, Kylie (well, they do say home is where the heart is, and I do love my home)

Some pretty nifty coincidences in there!
