1. If you can only hear one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Jungleland by Springsteen. It is complex, with a great gritty narrative and really long (over 9 minutes) so it can fill a lot of time in a musically empty void.
2. What one song would you like to be played on your funeral?
Souls of the Departed by Springsteen. A very touching ballad.
3. What one song that is best to describe your feeling right now?
Is there a hungry song? (I ain’t ate the breakfast yet). “Hungry, hungry, hippo.?”
4. What one song would you like to hear when you’re sad and depressed?
Anything from Herp Alpert and the Tijauna Brass. I listened to a greatest hits CD of him yesterday and there isn’t a sad song in the mix.
5. What one song that you wished you have written?
I talked about “The Weight” a few weeks back. That one is on the list. The family of the author of “Happy Birthday” makes money every time that ditty is played. It would be nice to be the author of that.
1. I’m assuming that this question can also be interpreted as “What song would you like to have playing when you die.” In that case, I’ll go for something peppy yet angry, like Hole’s “Violet”.
2. “One More Beer,” by our good friend Mr. Marty Jones.
3. Pass. (I’d need to find a song about lethargy and being achy from sleeping too much).
4. I think we’ve covered this one before, but when I’m sad and depressed, I like to use music to exacerbate things. Thus, I’d answer either “5 Degrees Below Zero” by Ricmond Fontaine, or “La Cienega Smiles,” by Ryan Adams.
5. My immediate answer was also “Happy Birthday,” so I’ll switch up (for the same pecuniary reasons) to “White Christmas.” It’s a lovely song about the birth of Christ *and* racial purity, which still rings true to this day.
1)If I had a million dollars by BNL. Friggin’ gourmet ketchup.
2)Almost anything from the movie Harold and Maude.
3)Old MacDonald had a farm.
4) Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka.
5) A Day in the life by the Beatles.
