Random music meme

Here’s how:
1.Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the ‘next’ button.
6. Don’t lie.

I find this meme very strange - so many of the songs seem so apt somehow. First seen at Ampersand Duck’s.

(I have probably used up my quota of memes this past couple of weeks. This morning I don’t have much time to read, ponder and blog as I have to be at work early (M needs to get in early to do daylight saving preparation with our servers). It’s very grey and raining at the moment - most un-Novemberish!)

    Great songs!

    They do make sense!

    Falling in love: Keeping the customer satisfied
    Fight song: Country feedback [I will never listen to this song the same way again]
