I swiped this from someone and now I can’t remember whom. I’m getting old. Leave me alone.

If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?

Here’s how it works:

Open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod).
Put it on shuffle.
Press play.
For every question, type the song that’s playing.
New question – press the next button.
! Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool !
