It’s Saturday but this definitely qualifies as a lazy sunday surf piece. Whole meme craze has, so far, passed me by – until today, that is, when I got hit by Abul on farcebook. I would have had ignored it (sorry Abul), but I read on his blog, that the whole thing is “of a musical variety” and decided to give it a go. Here is the deal, plus my results and comments (yes, I have to have an opinion about everything):
1. put your itunes/ipod/whatever on shuffle
2. for the answer to each question press for next song – the title is your answer
How did I do? More than funnily, I would say. I put last.fm links to the song titles wherever I could

There you go. I only cheated once when the song title was spanish and I had no clue what it meant. Slightly too many questions if you ask me, but you should try!

Some definite gender confusion going on there but great results, I’m curious how you will die by paper bag but I hope it will happen at the record age of 120 or something and not soon ;)
