Frankenmix
from
the project by
calikali A song that wakes you up in the morning.
Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down
Best driving music ever, really.
A song you loved in high school.
REM - Losing My Religion
Because obsession was really a big part of my life.
A song that mentions a dead celebrity.
David Essex - Rock On (or, alternatively, Public Enemy - Fight the Power)
'Rock On' was the first one to come to mind--it mentions James Dean. Fight the Power is also good, as it mentions Elvis and John Wayne.
A song you'd be embarrassed to listen to with your grandmother.
Melissa Ferrick - Drive
Just...go get this song. You'll understand.
A song that MTV will never play in a million, billion years.
Buckingham/Nicks - Frozen Love
Well. Maybe in like a thing about Fleetwood Mac.
A song with a title that ends in y.
Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party
There aren't that many on my playlist, and I was thinking Carbon Leaf's 'Life Less Ordinary', but I already have a song on here by them. 'Sides, it's good.
A song that makes you crave something.
Bruce Springsteen - Cover Me
Craving love. Seriously.
A cover song that you think is better than the original.
Leo Kottke - World Turning (or, alternatively, Matchbox 20 - Never Going Back Again)
I love Fleetwood Mac, but these covers are the only two I know of that are superior to the originals.
The original of the previous.
Fleetwood Mac - World Turning (or Fleetwood Mac - Never Going Back Again)
See above. They're not BAD, just...some great things have been done.
A song that reminds you of a fandom OTP.
Bruce Cockburn - Lovers in a Dangerous Time
This song is like, every SF OTP EVER.
You have been caught mouthing the lyrics to this song.
Outfield - Your Love
Hee. I overheard this from
djdaft and I really just...fell for it.
A song that will always make you think of a movie.
Nina Gordon - Tonight and the Rest of My Life
This song was in the preview for that one movie with Angelina Jolie in it that was basically all about sex and was really bad...Original Sin!...but I think of both that movie and Boys Don't Cry when I hear it because about that time was when I saw that for the first time.
A song that should totally have fic written about it.
Antigone Rising - Waiting, Watching, Wishing
I've been saying this for ages. VID TO DOCTOR WHO.
A song you wish they'd play in elevators.
Mark Knopfler - What It Is
Just 'cause.
You'll stop listening to this song when they pry your MP3 player out of your cold, dead hands.
Carbon Leaf - What About Everything?
The most played track on my iTunes. Great. Song.
