Fascinating! I would like to try this later, no time this morning.

Hope you are feeling ok today!

Lauralew said...

Some of the answers are really ironic. Also funny! I'll try this later.

Glad to see I'm not the only person with Secret Garden in the music collection.

Christy said...

I'm almost fearful to do this with all the rap songs I have on my IPod.

Kathy said...

I have a lot of John Phillip Sousa's marches on my IPOD -- and showtunes from LES MIS! How funny!

Connie said...

Too cute...I guess I am the only person on the planet that doesn't own an ipod!!!

Dawn said...

You got some fun answers from this, and you have some great music on your ipod!

Rosezilla said...

Uh-huh, so your hobby is "Set the Fire to the Third Bar?" Hmmm... This was cute. Yikes, that dying "Unforgiven," I think I would have had to cheat and use the next one! Glad the colonoscopy went well, that's one test I actually don't really mind, how sick is that? Well, it's not as if I like it or anything... I just don't hate it as much as some tests.

Marking Time said...

Ooh. So much "Synchronicity", oddly accurate responses to the questions (Like "Goin' Up the Country" as a metaphor for heaven.)

But you didn't post it as Santa Claus is Coming to Town! I won't hold you to it, though.
Thanks for playing, ...next victim!?!

You have some wonderful songs on you iPod.

Don't have one of those yet, myself, but that game was fun to read.

Take care,
Elizabeth

Jan said...

Fun! I'm not sure if I could do this though.

There's a friend award for you over at my blog.

Jan said...

Except that I do NOT have an ipod! Oh, well. . . .

I loved some of the answers! My favorite was "Going Up the Country" for the funeral song. Wow!
