Gathering of the Figments

It's a little game I play when I'm bored.
It's easy!
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
I tend to try and tie all the songs together in a story. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not.
Here it goes!

Opening Credits:
Along Comes Mary by George Benson
//Nice and jazzy opening. Hard to judge what's going to happen. Sounds like a comedy though.

Waking Up:
Word Is by T.S.O.L
//Ah man, punk. Well I want a lover. At least when I wake up.

First Day At School:
Pictures at an Exhibition: Bydlo by Moussorgsky
//Of course I forget all this when I have to carry my very very heavy backpack. We're talking heavy. Really heavy.

Falling In Love:
No Difference by Against Me!
//Sadly more punk. I fall in love to unintelligible lyrics. Probably at a protest.

Fight Song:
Believe It by Mike Stern
//Slow fighting. Really slow. I bet it's a verbal battle.
"Thou ill-footed knave." "At least my feet are merely ill, rather than possessed!"

Breaking Up:
Rumble in Brighton by Brian Setzer
//My girl doesn't approve of my fighting. Not that I care. I never liked her much.

Prom:
Leechwife by Rasputina
//I... uh... practice leechwifing at my prom? Someone gets hurt and I fix 'er up via leeches!

Life:
The Likes of You by Flogging Molly
//I can't get over the loss of my girl. I guess I learned that fighting isn't worth her love.

Mental breakdown:
Cotton Tail by Oscar Peterson
//In a fit of mental breakdown I duel someone JAZZ PIANO STYLE! I must be really upset. Normally I'd use my tenor.

Driving:
How We Quit the Forest by Rasputina
//I'll pretend this even begins to make sense...

Flashback:
Hanging on the Telephone by Blondie
//So I'm remembering the time that my girl left me on hold on the telephone. She was probably cheating on me...

Getting back together:
Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix
//But it's okay, we fall in love again while stoned.

Wedding:
I Could Write a Book by George Eps
//Ooo nice and romantic. We marry in a small cathedral.

Birth of Child:
Angry Eyes by Loggins and Messina
//I could tell from the beginning that my daughter and I would never get together. She hated me from the instant she saw me.

Final Battle:
In My Place by Coldplay
//I don't want to fight. I bet it's with my wife.
"I love you!"
"Love is just Evol spelled backwards!"

Death Scene:
Track 04 by SFX
//Appropriate my death scene is really just... an explosion!

Funeral Song:
Perry Mason Theme
//And when I die Perry Mason comes in to sue the company who wasn't being responsible with the barrels of C4 that killed me. He wasn't very nice, interrupting my funeral.

End Credits:
Transylvanian Concubine by Rasputina
//Perfect end credits... assuming the above was an action movie with a bunch of prostitutes... and I was on of the "women of the night".

So in conclusion. I was a violent man, who fell in love with a liberal protest. I got in regular verbal battles, and finally my girl and I broke up because of it. After saving a life at my prom, I saw the error of my ways and pined for my girl again. Finally I suffered a mental breakdown and challenged her present boyfriend to a jazz piano duel! Having lost, I drove away while my composer had a coffee break, but forgot to turn the soundtrack off. While driving, I had a flashback to the time she left me on the telephone and refused to talk to me for an extended period of time. I realized that she must have been cheating on me! In grief, I started taking some serious drugs (we're talking LCD people). Ironically she did too, and we fell in love again (the LCD made me forget about my flashback). We got married in a small cathedral. And when our daughter (because I said so!) was born, we instantly hated each other. I fought her in a verbal battle (a very relunctant battle on my part). In the end a barrel of C4 exploded killing me. During my funeral, Perry Mason walked in to sue the company who owned the barrel that killed me. Then the end credits roll in. In the background there is what appears to be Transylvania. It is inhabited with many very attractive prostitutes. Angels walk around, revealing it to be heaven, but in one last bit of irony, it is revealed that I am among the prostitutes.
Wow... my life... sucks...

I take it you listen to a lot of Rasputina...

Opening Credits:
Apocalypse Please - Muse
\\it's definitely an action/thriller type movie

Waking Up:
Sweet Liberty - from Jane Eyre
\\first line is 'It's seven o'clock in the morning.' How utterly appropriate. I'm an early riser with an annoying voice. Slightly morbid, but a dreamer and social activist.

Maybe I'll be able to put up with this musical one day (I hated it)

First Day at School:
Celtic Dream - from Lord of the Dance
\\Instrumental and surreal. Obviously on drugs (sort of goes with the social activism).

Falling in Love:
Enchantment - David Arkenstone
\\Strange vocalizations. Maybe he/she belongs to a cult... There might be dancing involved. And medieval-style dresses.

Fight Song:
Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer
\\A VERY slow fight. I can't even picture it.

Breaking Up:
Sean in the Fog - Lúnasa
\\Wow, I like this piece. Again, at a Renn Faire, Celtic festival or similar (my SO seems to be into that). I did the breaking up. There was crying but no shouting.

Prom:
Seize the Day (Chorale) - from Newsies
\\I boycotted and then marched on Prom with the gay men's choir, protesting. Possibly because I didn't have a date.

Life:
My Little Shirtwaist Fire - Rasputina
\\Locked in a burning building? A factory worker? Poor, in any case.

Mental Breakdown:
Dites-Moi - from South Pacific
\\I revert to childhood. (Due to the trauma of the fire?)

Driving:
Keep It Gay - from The Producers
\\*dies laughing*

Flashback:
Nocturne - from Cirque du Soleil
\\Sleepless nights smoking ...something.

Getting Back Together:
Thataway - from Curtains
\\ "He made a getaway, he left me flat-a-way" I chase him relentlessly.

Wedding:
Fields of Despair - DragonForce
\\Doesn't sound promising...

Birth of Child:
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear - Josh Groban
\\Born at Christmas (like Jesus--or maybe it is Jesus). Soft, pretty, and loved.

Final Battle:
Nowadays - from Chicago
\\Definitely verbal, in a nightclub. Probably with someone I'm having an affair with.

Death Scene:
It Had Better Be Tonight - from The Pink Panther
\\Skiing accident in Austria (where I went with a man not my husband)

Funeral:
One Last Shot - from Pirates of the Caribbean
\\I'm not actually dead!! Or else my husband is so excited to be free of me that this is him triumphant.

End Credits:
Tooth and Claw - from Doctor Who
\\Reafirming that it's an action movie. Setting up a sequel where I come back as a werewolf.

I had a weird life...

I listen to Rasputina, but not a whole lot. Well I'm trying again with a different music library (my iPod, which actually contains more songs than my computer).
And yes, this is because I'm bored.

Opening Credits:
The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats
//Don't know what to think. Although I evidentially love to dance (if you don't dance then you're no friend of mine).

Lazy Bird by John Coltrane
//I wake up and move really fast.

First Day at School:
Rock-a-Bye Basie by Count Basie
//Nice slow swingy day at school. I must like school.

Peter the Great from Civilization IV
//We fall in love while I play as Peter the Great (I can't believe I actually have this)

Fight Song:
Brian Damage by Pink Floyd
//Er... what? I guess I plan to... I don't even know. Maybe I'm fighting insanity.

Breaking Up:
Jane by Barenaked Ladies
//I loved Jane, but she broke up with me because she's emotionally unstable and paranoid about guys.

Prom:
Virgo Splendens by Qntal
//Either they started playing weird Latin techno, or I got high for prom.

Life:
Innervision by System of a Down
//My life is filled with a quest to find my true love and getting really really high and sometimes both at once. Or maybe I'm a Catholic Buddist...

Mental Breakdown:
Let's Get Away From It All by Frank Sinatra
//I go insane and "get away from it all"

Driving:
Beethoven's Sonata No. 28 Part IV.
//What? I drive to classical music evidentially.

Flashback:
Little Girl Blue by Frank Sinatra
//I remember the depressed girl who lived near me, and how I could never work up the guts to talk to her.

Getting Back Together:
I Get Around by the Beach Boys
//I bought a new car, evidentially my girl is shallow enough to instantly love me again when I start driving around.

Wedding:
Vogelfluc by Qntal
//Okay, I get married in an ancient pagan ritual of the Germans (and I don't even have that much Qntal).

Birth of Child:
Best of My Love by the Eagles
//I love my baby girl... perhaps too much...

Final Battle:
Back in Black by AC/DC
//And I return to beat back whatever it was that I was fighting... But really quite appropriate for the situation.

//I'm a wizard and I want some guy to get out of my house, but he stabs me.

//The end credits are dramatic monk songs!
