temporary insanity

[enthusiastick]

OK. Its another meme-type thing I made up. Go through your friends list and try and pick out a song for every person on it. You don't have to bother with communities and such unless inspiration strikes you. Here is my list:

amaltheagray: sixpence none the richer - there she goes
attackmonkey: leonard cohen - everybody knows
bobbler: garbage - you look so fine
calhin: goldfinger - get away (or sum 41 - nothing on my back)
cassielsander: cake - comfort eagle
celeloriel: brand new - last chance to lose your keys
erzulie: eve 6 - open road song
herod_the_nut: the mr. t experience - even hitler had a girlfriend
inediblebuddha: tsunami bomb - lemonade
juineve: wir sind helden - müssen nur wollen (or brand new - secondary)
kittysweetheart: indigo girls - fare thee well (or sarah mclachlan - prayer of st. francis)
lassarina: goldfinger - margaret ann
lightdarkgrey: nofx - I'm not insane
loopygirl: the get up kids - out of reach
manslayerliz: brand new - moshi moshi
nakanai: nine inch nails - the becoming
oberndorf: great big sea - ordinary day
pax_malificus: five iron frenzy - my evil plan to save the world
rollick: john mayer - 3x5 (or yann tiersen - la valse d'amelie, orchestra version)
sabrielrose: atom and his package - for aliza whenever she may sleep
spreadnparanoia: brand new - the boy who blocked his own shot (or pretenders - human)
syganzychick mary prankster - tempest (or sr-71 - they all fall down)
timeshaper: reel big fish - beer
zerbie: rem - the great beyond

Some of these are because the lyrics make me think of the person, sometimes its just that I have reason to associate the song with them, and some I simply can't explain. I'm also willing to admit that a few of them are stretches on my part - I'll make corrections if I think of something better.

If you're too lazy to bother doing this for everyone, I'd be interested if you had any thoughts on a song for me.

Well thanks.. at first I was going to bitch because you didn't even include me.. Then you just gave me some foreign song I've never heard of and will pro'ly be hell to look up...

Who's Erzulie thou? THe goddess rocks, so someone who even knows her scores some points.

This one's easy:

LBC- 3 to 10 ^__^

You got two whole songs, you git. And the first one is by a band I wouldn't have even started listening to if I hadn't noticed, while in Germany, that the lead singer Judith looks a little something like you from certain angles.

erzulie is Alana, an NU friend who's studying some aspect of technical theater. She does, in fact, rock.

Dude. That is such a compliment. :-D

[herod-the-nut.livejournal.com]

Thanks, man...thanks a lot.

[pooka-madness.livejournal.com]

Dude! I totally didn't mean it as an insult. Look up the lyrics!

Nixon had his puppy, Charles Manson had his clan -- but God forbid that I get a girlfriend...

This requires time for thought that I will not have, due to the flying out of town at 7 this morning. Must also eventually look up these songs and get some idea what you're talking about.

[pooka-madness.livejournal.com]

Its entirely cool. :) For your short term edification, one of the key lyrics in the main song listed for you is:

maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to lose my way with words

The lyric is later reprised/modified as:

maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to lose my way, but let me say you should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes, it brought me back to life. you'll be with me next time I go outside, just no more three by fives...

[herod-the-nut.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I downloaded the song so I see what you mean. Good song.

[loopygirl.livejournal.com]

This is way cool! Can you tell me a little about the song and why you chose it for me? Do you have an MP3 you can send me?

[cassielsander.livejournal.com]

DUDE!

And I use the term advisedly.

[oberndorf.livejournal.com]

Intriguing. At least I know the song. And like it, come to think.

[pooka-madness.livejournal.com]

It was very strange. I was stuck for a bit as to which song to choose for you, and then it just occurred to me that your song was definitely a Cake song. From there it was just a process of elimination to the one I liked best for you.

[pooka-madness.livejournal.com]

I am more than happy to e-mail you a copy of the song. Sad to say its sort of an overwhelmingly depressing song, but its still one I like. Let me know what you think.

I feel so discriminated against! And all because I have no live journal. Oh the horror.

The incredibly sad thing is that I would consider signing up for one just to find out my song, if one does indeed exist.

[pooka-madness.livejournal.com]

Your song would probably be Counting Crows - Up All Night.

If you did get a livejournal, you would hardly be the only person I know who has one and doesn't actually post in it. Look at pax_malificus, timeshaper and until recently spreadnparanoia.

[erzulie.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm flattered. Also impressed that you picked the one song that I end up singing every time I'm alone in my car and the radio sucks. If I've actually told you that before, you have a good memory.

Sounds like it.. My friend alana is the one on the front of amazonbitch.org, herself.. And she used to do a lot of acting.. funny...ish.. heh
