mr_cellaneousA year or so ago, a friend of mine moved away to go live in a third-world country, and he left with me a USB hard drive containing his immense and eclectic collection of MP3s.
The vast majority of these songs I don't even know, and a lot of the ones I do aren't particularly to my taste, but still, I thought it might be fun to retry the old musical 8-ball meme that went around a few years ago with this new, vastly-expanded universe of possible answers... so!
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press next track for each question.
3. Use the song titles to answer the questions, even if it doesn't make sense.
NO CHEATING!
Will you get far in life?
Magical Misery Tour
Uh oh.
How do your friends see you?
Our Love is Here to Stay
Works for me.
Will you get married?
Question of Degree
Hmm. Not sure if this reflects the fact that we waited until I graduated from college, or the fact that I'm not a polygamist...
What is your best friend's theme song?
Sea of Love
Yay!
What is the story of your life?
Love is Just a Four Letter Word
Nah, this one doesn't work for me.

Streams of Whiskey
Hee.

Kings
It's true, I just love that about you guys.
What is today going to be like?
Oh, Good Grief

Makes sense, what with the holiday and all.
What song describes you?
Child of Innocence
Hey, when the thing's right, it's right.
What song describes your grandparents?
Station to Station
Whatever.
How is your life going?
Prelude in D Flat Major
Meaning it's just getting started?
What song will they play at your funeral?
You Keep Me Hangin' On
Uh oh.
How does the world see you?
All The Things You Are
Cool.
What do your friends really think of you?

I guess I'm gonna take that as a no.

Excellent!
What should you do with your life?
What You Will
Okay then.
Will you have children in the future?

...yeah, I'm trying to think of an interpretation, but I just can't make this one work at all. Maybe I should try again?
Parakeet
Much better.
