Swing, Swing

As a firm believer in the higher power that governs iPod's shuffle, I thought the following exercise would be blog-worthy but not Facebook-note-worthy, because that would just be a little too embarrassing. (Is that wrong, that I immediately assume less people will read this and those that do will know me well enough to think I'm still sort of cool after it all? Rhetorical question.)

Your music selection says a lot about you. For example, when Green Day's American Idiot sits next to Kate Perry's I Kissed a Girl and is sharing a room with 84 Chopin compositions (oh yes, classical music shopping definitely ticks that 'value for money' box), you either have ecclectic tastes or borderline schizophrenia.

Momo, don't fail me now. (Momo is my iPod's name. The set up asks for a name and Momo is way better than "Ashley's iPod" or Y:/)

I've included the instructions for authenticity and I promise I've followed the upper case text, because upper case text really scares me. My mum used to write sms' in CAPS because (she says) she didn't know how to switch to lower case but really because "COME HOME NOW" would make any sane person wet their pants - far more effective.

1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!
4. Tag 10 or more friends who might enjoy doing this as well as the person you got it from.
