Twenty Questions (in song)
I can remember when people used to email these surveys back and forth. Now we blog them. Ahhh, progress. :)
1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
- "Newark Wilder" by Pavement
2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
- "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann
3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and wound up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
- Oh Christ. Far too many to remember.
4. A great song in a language other than English.
- "Ça Plane Pour Moi" by Plastic Betrand
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
- "Caroline No" by The Beach Boys (from Pet Sounds)
6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
- I still cannot stand Mike Love, so any song by The Beach Boys
7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair.
- Oh that's easy. "Holidays in the Sun" by The Sex Pistols
8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
- "Yeah Yeah Yeah" by The Minders
9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
- "Do the Donkey Kong" by Buckner & Garcia
10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
- "Come Together" by The Beatles
11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
- Anything by The Apples in Stereo
12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
- "Chris R" by Swirlies
13. A song that reminds you of high school.
- "In Between Days" by The Cure
14. A song that reminds you of college.
- "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure
15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise dislike.
- "White Minority" by Black Flag (yes, I never really liked them)
16. A song by a band that features three or more female members.
- "Our Lips Are Sealed" by The Go-Go's
17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
- "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" by Tony Orlando & Dawn / "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain & Tennille (tie)
18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
- Such people I do not consider friends. :)
19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard.
- "Our Lips Are Sealed" by Fun Boy Three (though maybe not a cover, since Terry hall of FB3 actually co-wrote the song with Go-Go Jane Weidlin)
20. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation.
- Anything from my past that reminds me that, yes, I have survived in the past and I will survive this (whatever it may be) too.
