A meme. Not quite as fun as 'in my pants', but still amusing. Go to your iTunes/media player/mp3 player and put it all on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and after each one press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question.
What do you think of me, o music player?
Let's fall in love (Diana Krall)
I think my music player thinks a lot of me!
Will I have a happy life?
Always on my mind (Phantom Planet)
Doesn't make an enormous amount of sense... but I'm going to take it as a yes.
What do my friends really think of me?
The Lucky One (Alison Kraus)
Am I lucky because they like me, or am I lucky because all of my friends hate me and so I should take this opportunity to get new friends?
Do people secretly lust after me?
Walking out of stride (Badly Drawn Boy)
People only secretly lust after me when I'm walking funny?
How can I make myself happy?
Yesterday (The Beatles)
So I'll never be happy again!?!?! My time has past...
What should I do with my life?
Some kind of monster (Metallica)
Make of this answer what you will.
Why must life be so full of pain?
I'll never fall in love again (Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello)
Damn love, it's a killer.
Will I ever have children?
Weather with you (Crowded House)
So I'll have weather, but not children?
Will I die happy?
Shed a little light (James Taylor)
You're supposed to be shedding light on the answer, stupid music player!!
Can you give me some advice?
American Pie (Don McLean)
Mmm, pie...
What do you think happiness is?
Holy Grail (Hunters and Collectors)
Yeah, but what's the holy grail you stupid program?!
What's my favourite fetish?
Swing Down (Soweto Gospel Choir)
Once again, make of this what you will.
If nothing else, this meme reinforces the utterly random nature of my music collection. From Diana Krall to Metallia to Burt Bacharach to the Soweto Gospel Choir. Maybe my music player is just too plain confused to offer any helpful advice...

Just to be facetious, and to see how many of the few 'modern' songs might appear here I go:
What do you think of me, o music player?
What a wonderful world (OMG, a modern song first, and fitting!)
Will I have a happy life?
MOzart Piano Sonata KV 279. This is pretty fast so...?
What do my friends really think of me?
Beethoven Piano Sonata 31, another fastish one.
Do people secretly lust after me?
Gilbert and Sullivan "Where is the Plaintiff?" Trial by Jury
So... the plaintiff lusts after me?
How can I make myself happy?
La Boheme! LEgna! (translation, Italian for WOOD!) So I need wood?
What should I do with my life?
"Now harken to my strict command" Princess Ida Gilbert and Sullivan, so join the army?
Why must life be so full of pain?
"No one is alone" from Into the Woods. So life is painful because we are not alone? Not because we are alone?
Will I ever have children?
Prelude to "Akhenaten" by Phillip Glass. It goes for a long time so, lots of children?
Will I die happy?
Bach French Suite 6: Courante. It is a very fast and fun dance. So I will not die, but dance for eternity?
Can you give me some advice?
Winter Reveries Symphone Tchaikovsky. Frolick in the snow? Where's the snow?
What do you think happiness is?
Wagner Gotterdamerung "Hoiho!" Lots of men on a hunt, is that happiness?
What's my favourite fetish?
Copland Buckarro Holiday I, so cowboys are my fetish?
Beard stroking moment, every else should get off their arses and do this. Especially a certain Lendrum!
