What's Your Soundtrack?

Okay, this was blatantly stolen from The Assimilated Negro, but I thought it was somewhat interesting. Here's the premise:

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

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Not quite perfect, but some of those random answers are weird. "Back to the Ground" as a Funeral Song? I mean, the song's not about death, but I could see it working for that purpose. "The Grind" for opening credits? Love it. And "Tsunami" as a mental breakdown song is so perfect. It's weird how things just fall into place like that?
