Facebook has this '30 day song challenge' page and I thought that I might participate, however, the questions got me thinking so much that I now just want to post my responses to all 30 days' worth right now. I also plan to break the rules and have more than one answer per line item some times... and that's ok.
Day 01 - Your favorite song
Always a tough one, as I can be heard saying "this is my FAVOURITE song" a few times a day... but I think I will have to go with Gord Downie - Chancellor. Or "You Are My Sunshine".
Day 02 - Your least favorite song
No question: Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart. ugh.
Or Crazy Bitch.
Or, and I always get flack for saying it but: Ween - Push th' Little Daisies
Day 03 - A song that makes you happy
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Day 04 - A song that makes you sad
hmmm. maybe Pedro The Lion - Bad Things To Such Good People
Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone
The Tragically Hip - The Exact Feeling
Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Jim Guthrie - So Small (Hamburg)
Neil Young - Unknown Legend (driving to Newfoundland with the boys)
Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
Neil Young - Keep on Rockin' in the Free World. OR, more specifically, the live recording of Pearl Jam w/ Wintersleep and gang - Keep on Rockin' in the Free World.
Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to
Eminem and Dr. Dre - Forgot About Dre
Day 09 - A song that you can dance to
Well there is many a dance song out there and I can dance to whatever you want me to. last song I danced to was Thriller, I believe. you know what is a song you can dance to? anything that the Mellowtones play, that's what song.
Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep
I wouldn't say it puts me to sleep, but it could lull me in to relaxation which I suppose could be followed by sleep: Sun Kil Moon - Carry Me Ohio
Day 11 - A song from your favorite band
Radiohead - Idioteque
Wintersleep - People Talk
The Roots - How I Got Over
Day 12 - A song from a band you hate
It's not the band I hate, it's their fans.
But seriously, Arms Wide Open *shudder*
Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Ring My Bell
Mr Big - To Be With You
Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love
Going to stick with Mr. Big here. or Lipps Inc - Funkytown. Although if you really know me, you KNOW I love that song...
Day 15 - A song that describes you
Anything I thought of listing here reads as slightly pathetic so ... next.
Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate
Usually goes the other way for me. I don't have an answer for this...
Day 17 - A song that you hear often on the radio
That bleeping Kings of Leon song from about 2 records ago now.
Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio
Dan Griffin - She's a Drug. Pesky f word.
Day 19 - A song from your favorite album
I don't know that I have one favourite album. I definitely have many, actually. For this purpose:
Postdata - In Chemicals
Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry
Refused - New Noise
Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy
Snoop - What's my Name. Why not.
Day 22 - A song that you listen to when you’re sad
anything early Leonard Cohen. soothing.
Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding
John Lennon - Oh Yoko
Basia Bulat - Oh My Darling
Wintersleep - Listen (listen listen)
Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral
The Sadies - A Good Flying Day. That just came to me, mostly because it just came on the ipod... pretty good one though, yeah? ...or is it some kind of morbid? Tough one. Maybe Mogwai. or Lanois.
Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh
Clarence Carter - Strokin'
Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument
Neil Young - Heart of Gold
any song in the world... on air guitar (yes it counts).
Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play
All the cool ones with the chords that my hands can't make work.
Day 28 - A song that makes you feel guilty
Odd question. One better left alone.
Day 29 - A song from your childhood
Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock
Hall & Oats - Private Eyes
Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year
Good question, but it requires further thought. Is it really December already? Not sure how I got here so fast...
