mosca posted this in her journal a few days ago. I was intrigued, but it took some time to figure out my answers. Here it is:
1. Your favorite song with the name of a city in the title or text.
"London Calling" - the Clash
2. A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life.
"Cuts You Up" - Peter Murphy
3. Ever bought an entire album just for one song and winded up disliking everything but that song? Gimme that song.
"The Bog" - Bigod 20
4. A song whose lyrics you thought you knew in the past, but about which you later learned you were incorrect.
"Diamond Dogs" - David Bowie (I had half the friggin'song wrong.)
5. Your least favorite song on one of your favorite albums of all time.
"Space Invaders" - Pretenders (I'm sure an instrumental based around video game sound effects was edgy in '80, but it got old fast.)
6. A song you like by someone you find physically unattractive or otherwise repellent.
"Got Your Money" - Ol' Dirty Bastard
7. Your favorite song that has expletives in it that's not by Liz Phair.
Only one? "Too Drunk to Fuck" - Dead Kennedys
8. A song that sounds as if it's by someone British but isn't.
Does it count if they try to sound British and fail? If so, "Everyday is Halloween" - Ministry
9. A song you like (possibly from your past) that took you forever to finally locate a copy of.
"Blender Blues" - Bonnie Raitt
10. A song that reminds you of spring but doesn't mention spring at all.
"Like Someone in Love" - Bjork
11. A song that sounds to you like being happy feels.
"Feelin' Good" - Nina Simone
12. Your favorite song from a non-soundtrack compilation album.
"Waiting for the Night" - Rabbit in the Moon
13. A song from your past that would be considered politically incorrect now (and possibly was then).
"Los Angeles" - X (I understand the feeling they're trying to evoke in the song, but I still cringe every time I hear the line She started to hate every nigger and Jew, every Mexican that gave her a lot of shit, every homosexual and the idle rich. Ugh.)
14. A song sung by an overweight person.
"Tell Mama" - Etta James
15. A song you actually like by an artist you otherwise hate.
"Bury Me" - Smashing Pumpkins
16. A song by a band (whose members actually play instruments) that features three or more female members.
"Cherry Bomb" - Runaways
17. One of the earliest songs that you can remember listening to.
"Daniel" - Elton John (my sister was a fan)
18. A song you've been mocked by friends for liking.
"Rock Your Body" - Justin Timberlake
19. A really good cover version you think no one else has heard.
"Down on the Street/Little Doll" -Jayne County (We Will Fall, the Iggy Pop tribute)
20. A song that has helped cheer you up (or empowered you somehow) after a breakup or otherwise difficult situation.
"Haunted" -Poe Time to gather up these splinters, build a casket for my tears.
Extra tracks, if you have more room:
21. A song you've listened to while fucking/masturbating. AND/OR
"No Ordinary Love" - Sade
22. A song not in English—preferably a foreign-language version of an English-language hit.
"Revolucion Rock" - Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (Spanish-language cover of a Clash song)
