Mood: Entertained
I purloined my school laptop to use at home for the purposes of "work". This is of course why I am now doing a music meme.

6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
Opening Credits
April Wine- Sign of the Gypsy Queen
My life is a cheesy prog odyssey about a cursed gold claim. Awesome.
Waking Up
Journey- Something to Hide
A pretty good waking up song actually, if I'm a melancholy normal sort of person who is dissatisfied with their lot in life and just waiting for a cheesy prog odyssey to take them on a whirlwind Indy adventure.
Also the dude in this sings a duet with the guitar. That totally never fails to make me glee in extreme quantities.
First Day At School
Mana- Rayando El Sol (Live)
Hmm... A song about unrequited love? Obviously I meet Indy in the halls and am ruthlessly spurned or something.
Falling In Love
DVDA- What would Brian Boitano Do?
*DIES LAUGHING*
Nothing like a South Park song to add to the romance of that moment. It's obviously Brian Boitano that I fall for, not Indy.
Fight Song
"Limp Cookie Monster"- Did It All For The Cookie
... Ummmmm
Now Brian and I seem to have taken up monster hunting. Poor Cookie Monster, he didn't mean to eat all those townspeople.
Breaking Up
Robbie Robb- In Time
Oh NOES! I left Brian alone by the roadside after explaining that I had unspecified "things to do" but that I would come back for him someday! I WILL BRIAN! BRIAN I LOVE YOU! THIS HURTS ME MORE THAN IT HURTS YOU! WE JUST HAVE TO BE APART FOR A WHILE!
Prom
Tom Jones- She's a Lady
Not sure why I am going to a prom when just a little while ago I was monster hunting with Brian Boitano. Maybe I am ridding a high school of some horrible beasts.
Better still I left Brian because I wanted to finish high school and achieve my dream of higher education!
I am now tarted up in a very pricey ball gown, obviously. I should go to finishing school too, while I'm at it.
Life Is Good
Hot Butter- Popcorn
LIFE IS GOOD! IT CONTAINS POPCORN!
Mental Breakdown
Elvis Presley- Suspicious Minds
I think I am despairing of ever meeting Brian again and have taken up with a guy who is two timing me. My life sucks.
Driving
The Outlaws- Stay With Me
Relentlessly cheerful. I am on a long, soul-searching road trip to find Brian, listening to country rock music because that's just what you *do* when you're on the road looking for an American professional ice-skater turned monster slayer.
Flashback
Joe Jackson- Happy Loving Couples
Obviously my memories of monster killing with Brian can be boiled down to a comedy montage where we go into restaurants on dates and end up with sea monsters in our soup, and never get a real date :(
Getting Back Together
Elton John & Little Richard- The Power
AWESOME.
Brian is still kicking monster ass, and I am now apparently psychic to help him. Either that or I have amazing evangelical powers of healing, but I like psychic better.
Wedding
I don't know if I am going to use this section because bah. But if the song is too good to pass up then I will include it anyway. :D
... Nope, the song suits Paying The Dues better so I am going to cheat.
Paying The Dues
Savage Garden- Break Me Shake Me
This song is absolutely not happy enough to use as a wedding song unless we have a blazing row at the altar. Marrying Brian Boitano is a little further than I want to go anyway!
Instead he is possessed and we are having a real fight with weapons. Thankfully we have been practising our hand to hand combat because otherwise I would obviously be no match for his triple-lutz.
I will have to kill Brian to save my own life, how tragic!
The Night Before The War
Rush- Witch Hunt
Blimey, my life has become very sinister and scary! Brian was possessed and I was forced to kill him, and now I am looking for the evil witch that did it to him! I am pissed off and out for revenge!
Final Battle
KRS-One- The Sound of Da Police
o.O Nothing like a nice Hip Hop track to mark a final battle. Actually it could be me being all badass in a long black coat a la Matrix.
Or it could be a nod to the vigilante nature of my quest which was highlighted rather pointedly in the previous Rush song...
Moment of Triumph
Bruce Springsteen- Secret Garden
Well the mood of this song is very much that I killed the evil witch but am now dying in the process. In fact I think I am having Gladiator-esque flashbacks to all the happy sunlit times when Brian did some salchows for my amusement or something?
Death Scene
Less Than Jake- Gainesville Rock City
... most un-sad death song ever.
I can only assume that we used to live in Gainesville and now I am returning there in my ghosty-form or something.
Funeral Song
Avenue Q- The Internet is for Porn
...
What the hell, MusicMatch? I'm DEAD!
End Credits
Mark Knopfler- Morning Ride
Awww nothing like a bit of Princess Bride soundtrack to happily round off the story of my life. It was full of ups and downs, but hey I was happy in the end.
