My Life Soundtrack

Thanks to cousin Jake (who I believe is blogless so I can't link to him) for making my day with this. I think I could do this over and over again. I'm pretty sure that should my life story be made into a movie, the soundtrack would be better than the plot...

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Zune, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
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.
