If you asked me to

Actually, no, if sharkysmachine asked me to, I just might change my mind and do a meme.



1. A favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
Chicago - Sufjan Stevens


2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
If I Were Brave - Shawn Colvin


3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and winded up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
Girlfriend - Queen Pen


4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but about which you later learned you were incorrect.
Tin Man - America


5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
Memory - Barbra Streisand


6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
Step In Name of Love (remix) - R. Kelly


7. A favorite song that has expletives in it.
Lazymuthfucka - The Coup


8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole -- Martha Wainwright


9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
(tie) Look What You've Done To Me - Boz Scaggs and With You I'm Born Again - Billy Preston and Syreeta (of course, this is all pre-mp3 downloads)


10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
Kissing the Lipless - The Shins


11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games - Of Montreal


12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
Be Kind to My Mistakes - Kate Bush (from the Theodore alternative music compilation)


13. A song from your past that would be considered politically incorrect now (and possibly was then).
You Could Be Mine - Guns N Roses


14. A song sung by an fat person.
Make You Feel That Way -- Blackalicious (I thought this question was bogus, but then when I was scanning through my music to think of which song I'd pick, I realized how many fcking skinny people are singers.)


15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise hate.
Aqueous Trasmissions - Incubus


16. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
He's So Shy -- the Pointer Sisters


17. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
How Soon Is Now? - T.a.t.u.


18. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard
Like I Love You - Bell X1 (except for Liza, of course, who I downloaded it from)


19. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation.
A World of Hurt -- Drive By Truckers. I'm using the word 'empowered' loosely, I suppose. But the last line is "it's great to be alive".


20. A song that reminds you of school days.
Love Will Never Do (Without You) - Janet Jackson


21. A song from an artist that you are embarrassed to admit you like.
Shut Your Mouth - Garbage.
(It's not that I'm totally embarassed by liking them at all....it's more about embarassed for how much I like them. Though their last album is straight up boring crap that I deleted off my itunes.)


22. Whatever it is, it's got to be funky.
I'm (Just) a Sucka For Your Love -- Teena Marie


23. A song for those quiet, rainy days.
Fly - Nick Drake

Made You Look - Nas

It's so weird. kissing the lipless was almost my not spring/spring song. Also, I love mix. Oooh make it for me, pretty please.

HAHAH I also almost picked R. Kelly but I don't really like anything but that "in the closet" bullshit.
