To sum up ones life using all the song titles and lyrics in the world would be pretty difficult to say the least. To have said compendium made up solely of the song titles of only one artist or band would be even more of an accomplishment. A friend of mine recently did this using REM song titles. I liked it and decided to give it a go using, who else, Sufjan Stevens. It's, uhh, pretty accurate.
Here are the rules:
Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think!
Pick Your Artist:
Sufjan Stevens
Are you male or female?
"A Good Man is Hard to Find"
Describe Yourself:
"Out of Egypt, Into the Great Laugh of Mankind, and I Shake the Dirt from My Sandals As I Run" ...or "Wolverine"
How do you feel:
"Joy! Joy! Joy!"
Describe where you currently live:
"No Man's Land"
If you could go anywhere, where would you go:
"Sleeping Bear, Sault Ste. Marie" ...or definitely, "Pittsfield"
Your favorite form of transportation:
"Majesty Snowbird"
Your best friend is:
"SuperSexyWoman"
What is life to you:
"A Short Reprise for Mary Todd, Who Went Insane, But for Very Good Reasons"
Your fear:
"They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!"
What is the best advice you have to give:
"All Good Naysayers, Speak Up! or Forever Hold Your Peace!"
How I would like to die:
"The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'"
My Motto:
"Enjoy Your Rabbit"
