Meme On The Run
This song meme stolen from Chris' joint.
1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
"Have Nots" by X.
2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
"What A Crying Shame" by the Mavericks.
3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and wound up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
I purchased Honey's Dead by the Jesus & Mary Chain because I loved the song "Far Gone And Out." None of the other tracks on that album do a damn thing for me.
4. A great song in a language other than English.
"Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" by Edith Piaf.
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
Song for song, Tim is arguably the Replacement's best album. But I doubt I've listened to "Lay It Down Clown" more than twice.
6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
I'm a big Shane MacGowan fan. Nuff said.
7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair.
I'm drawing a total blank on this one.
8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
"Stonehenge" by Spinal Tap. 'Where the demons live and they do live well...'
9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
I still haven't found a copy of "Throw Your Arms Around Me" by Hunters & Collectors (not counting a download).
10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
"Aisling" by Shane MacGowan.
11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
"Private Idaho" by the B-52s, although there are plenty of other B-52s songs that will do as well.
12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
"Autour De Minuit" from Jazz A Saint-Germain - the stand-out track on an eclectic collection of jazz standards.
13. A song that reminds you of high school.
"Paul Revere" by the Beastie Boys.
14. A song that reminds you of college.
"Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" by the Ramones.
15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise dislike.
"Mmmbop" by Hanson. Laugh all you want - it's a catchy tune and a fine example of a pure pop song.
16. A song by a band that features three or more female members.
"Burn Don't Freeze" by Sleater-Kinney
17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
"Cecilia" (by Simon and Garfunkel) is the earliest song I can recall listening to.
18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
Look, I treasure bad songs from the 80s. I think "The Rain" by Oran 'Juice' Jones is terribly unappreciated - not everyone I know shares these views. And my abiding affection for Motley Crue can still raise the occasional hackle.
19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard.
Live bootleg of Sleater-Kinney covering "Fortunate Son."
20. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation.
I thought that was what beer was for.
