The question is this: If your life was a movie, what would its soundtrack be?

The method is this:

1. Open your iTunes library (or whatever software you use for your music playlist)
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 you’re cool—you’re not—just type in the name of the song

So, let’s get on with it. Here is my life’s playlist:

I was really hoping for a cool pre-perv Michael Jackson song, or some kind of truck rental song to commemorate the move to Florida, but I guess that’s a little too specific. 🙂

Which song or songs do you feel are the most appropriate in my life movie playlist? What changes would you make?
