Soundtrack Song Shuffle

[Joey788]

I found this survey on Myspace of all places and it looks pretty interesting. Sadly, there's not much variety in my answers since I had to restore my iPod recently and haven't uploaded much besides U2 and The Beatles plus a few others. So post your own answers and see how good of a match you get.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
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...
