The soundtrack to the movie of my life

Here's how it works:

  1. You're given a list of scenes, from opening credits to end credits, each of which must have a song.
  2. Open iTunes and set it to shuffle.
  3. Hit play and see what pops up for each scene.
  4. Make up a title and pick a cast.

So, here's my cast:

  • Marilyn Monroe as younger Me, Bette Midler as older Me
  • Nicolas Cage as Peter
  • HRH, The Queen as my Mother
  • Brad Pitt, Jeff Goldblum as rejected lovers.
  • Shirley Temple as daughter.

Opening Credits: “Never Touch that Switch" by Robbie Williams (Explicit)
A bit organic, a bit urban, and a bit pessimistic. Is this movie worth watching? Seems a bit mysterious to me...

Waking Up: "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton
Urban grind, rush rush rush. Isn't that the way all good movies start off - until something happens?

First Day At School: "Headlong" by Queen
I always loved school. Strong minded, headstrong and rushing headlong into all things academic (other than PhysEd)

Falling In Love: "Yokozuna" - WWE Song
A lovely Japanese, spritual love-fall, completely inappropriate for my first inroads into the world of men. A paradise of slow thought, slow movement, and fantasy.

Fight Song: "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake
They said there'd be snow for Christmas. They lied.

Breaking Up: " Smiley Faces" by Gnarls Barkley
Clearly, I'm loving this breaking up thing, or the man is.

Prom: "Shoot You in the Back" by Motorhead
School Discos sucked. We didn't have Proms, we had discos - no one danced.

Life: "In My Heart" by Moby
"All I want you to be - is in my heart". A constant search for love after some rejection, and so is the story of my life. It's easy to love, but sometimes not so easy to be loved.

Mental Breakdown: "It's All Over" by the Rolling Stones
"Because I used to Love her, but it's all over now". Did I tell you about the time I saw a shrink over the pain I felt when breaking up from men?

Driving: "Legs" by ZZ Top
Pure driveability - on my drivetime collection. Peter and I went to see a ZZ Top concert in Wellington New Zealand, and this is pure memories of our dating days. 

Flashback: "Kiss me Where it Smells Funny" by the Bloodhound Gang
Er, we're obviously flashing back here to my younger and more, shall we say,  athletic years.

Wedding: "Walk Like a Panther" by the Pretenders
Lesson to the man of the future - "You've got to fly like an eagle, prowl like a lion in Africa, Leap like a salmon come home from the sea. To keep up with me - You've Got to walk like a panther tonight" Remember this, my standards have fallen, but you don't come near unless you follow these recommendations.

Birth of Child: "Juice Head Blues" with Sam Brown, Jools Holland
Is this pertaining to the medication necessary to get through the event of birthing?

Final Battle: "Second Coming" by The Stranglers
I have no idea.

Death Scene: "Acrobat" by U2
Long musical start to this. Contortionistic overtones - it might be a slow death scene. "don't believe what you see" U2 suggests, and additionally, "Close your eyes, and you can see your enemy". Great.

Funeral Song:"Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" by Moby
Excellent - this is exactly what I want playing at my funeral, so that everyone weeps. I'm hoping they might be a little sad, anyway.

End Credit: "Footballs Coming Home" by The Lightning Seeds
Okay, this is completely wrong - it's picked up the end credit for my hubbie, not me.

Try it yourselves! If nothing else, it might remind you of some great songs in your collection. And a note of explanation - my ITUNEs is a combination - heavy rock for my hubbie, and the softer stuff for me. And there's some kids stuff on there, too!

 In the Content Section, you will find some old content of mine -

  • Podcasting 101
  • Using and Setting Up Bloglines

The later still has the images hotlinked to my older blog at Squarespace, but eventually I'll move these over as assets on here, and redo the link.
