My writing has been a bit scrambled this week. I haven't been happy with anything I've written so nothing has been posted. I've had this meme kicking around for ages, so I'm hoping it will free up my writing a bit.
If you want to do it, copy the categories below, open your iTunes and hit shuffle. Refresh for each category and hit next song.
Opening Credits: Those Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer - Bob Downe
Wow - iTunes is picking up on my mood today - I've half written three things about summer and the way time changes.
Waking Up: I am a Man of Constant Sorrow - The Soggy Bottom Boys
Yep, that sums me up until I can hit the shower and caffeine.
First Day At School: Alone with you tonight - The Sunnyboys
I love this song. This was the live version from the 25th anniversary concert for Mushroom Records. Even more resonant because I was there. I used to get Sunnyboys from the school canteen, but that is probably the only connection between school and this song.
Falling In Love: Simply Irresistible - Robert Palmer
I don't really associate this song with love. Lust maybe, but all of a sudden I'm feeling an overwhelming desire to pop into some Lycra, a short black skirt and bright red cfm lipstick.
Fight Song: Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer
"I blame you for the moonlit sky, and the dream that died" I've had those completely irrational fights.
Breaking Up: Heavy Heart - You am I
Somehow, I think iTunes said it all for me.
School Formal (Prom): Beyond the Sea - Robbie Williams
I love both Robbie and Bobby's versions of this song. But right now, all I can think of is Homer Simpson wanting to live under the sea with the friendly crustaceans. Now, my brain has just headed off on a sea monkey tangent. I've got no idea how music ended up with sea monkeys. In lounge suits. And cocktail frocks.
Life: Changes - David Bowie
"Time to face the strange" Quite appropriate really. Life is full of change, and there is so much that is strange. Strange and wonderful. I've used lines from this as titles before on this blog, and they are often responsible for random visits from Google.
Mental Breakdown: I honestly love you - Peter Allen
Um, OK. I'm not sure how this one happened, but OK. If it was going to be a Peter Allen song, I think Tenterfield Saddler would fit better. iTunes, you forgot to keep reading my mind.
Driving: Headroom - Josh Abrahams and Amiel Daemion
Where was this one for the mental breakdown? iTunes, A for effort, but you must try harder. Having said that, I do find driving is a good way to get some headroom.
Flashback: The Last Night - Bon Jovi
This is still a very new addition to the music library, part of an album that is still growing on me. Still a good title for a flashback. The last night of what? A relationship? A holiday? A friendship? A house?
Getting back together: I only have eyes for You - Ella Fitzgerald
Ooooooh, Ella.
Wedding: Fame - Irene Cara
This should really be a big musical number, but I'm feeling dudded because it has already been used for musical numbers. Oh, sod it. Bring on the leg warmers and headbands.
Birth of Child: Born Free - Matt Monro
I don't know if this movie would have the birth of a lion cub, but that is the birth I would normally associate with this song.
Final Battle: I want it that way - Backstreet Boys
Or the highway? Isn't that what so many battles come down to? I don't think the Backstreet Boys are usually involved though.
Death Scene: Another one bites the dust - Queen
I just fell off the couch laughing. The cat thinks I'm mad. Yeah, cos he's qualified.
Funeral Song: Goodbye - The Spice Girls
This is a film clip I would have loved to be in as a kid. No, it isn't. I'm getting mixed up with the animation of Viva Forever. Look for the rainbow in every star. Goodbye my friend. I always thought that I would have 50 Years by the Uncanny X-Men. They would be very cool cars for the cortege though.
End Credits: Raindrops keep falling on my head - BJ Thomas
Sad, and yet still perky. Where there is life, there must surely still be hope. Watch out for the sequel; "thisisme - the phantom clones"

Great song choices!!!
Hee hee, very amusing! I especially love 'Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head' for your death scene. I mean, I guess the rain *could* still fall on you, right? Just.... you wouldn't feel it. Being dead and all.
There are also some great suggestions for songs to have arguments to. Next time Fatty and I are having a barney, I will ask him to wait while I race to the stereo, and pump up the volume!
LOL, the Man of Constant sorrows cracked me up!
Another One Bites the Dust as the death scene song... how funny!
Heyyy i quite like your list. It's so very jumbled up... and is a good combination of everything there is :) Haha I do remember the video for Viva Forever. It looked like some cheesy video game...
