This quiz/meme came from Kiki and Babes… but if you click on every link therein you will end up at the end of the Internet, where this surely began (and don’t call me Shirley)!
The idea is, ask your iPod (as if it were your Magic 8-Ball) to answer the following questions. Use SHUFFLE and do not skip songs to get the better/cooler answer. Believe me, the iPod KNOWS its shit! See here:
QUESTION: How does the world see Bon?
IPOD SAYS: “Party’s Fall” by Siouxsie and the Banshees
Through rose-tinted glass you still remember
The gladness, not sadness, only laughter
My happiness depends on knowing this friend is never alone
On your own
A party on our own
We’ll have a party all our own inside
QUESTION: Will Bon have a happy life?
IPOD SAYS: “Pretty in Pink” by The Psychedelic Furs
She doesn’t have anything
You want to steal
Well
Nothing you can touch
QUESTION: What do Bon’s friends think of her?
IPOD SAYS: “Dazzle” by Siouxsie and the Banshees
The stars that shine & the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
Dazzle
It’s a glittering prize
QUESTION: Do people secretly lust after Bon?
IPOD SAYS: “Orange Crush” by REM
Follow me, don’t follow me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
Collar me, don’t collar me
I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I’ve had my fun and now its time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
QUESTION: How can Bon make herself happy?
IPOD SAYS: “Everlong” by Foo Fighters
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
QUESTION: What should Bon do with her life?
IPOD SAYS: “Sweet Talkin’ Woman” by ELO
I was searchin’ on a one-way street
I was hopin’ for a chance to meet
I was waitin’ for the operator on the line
(She’s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don’t know what I’m gonna do
I gotta get back to you
You gotta slow down
Sweet talkin’ woman
You got me runnin’
You got me searchin’
Hold on sweet talkin’ woman
It’s so sad if that’s the way it’s over
QUESTION: Will Bon ever have children?
IPOD SAYS: “I Wanna Destroy You” by The Soft Boys
A pox upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they’re very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
And when I have destroyed you
I’ll come picking at your bone
And you won’t have a single atom left
To call your own
QUESTION: What is some good advice for Bon?
IPOD SAYS: “What You Need” by INXS
Don’t you get sad and lonely
You need a change from
What you do all day
Ain’t no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape
QUESTION: How will Bon be remembered?
IPOD SAYS: “In a Big Country” by Big Country
So take that look out of here, it doesn’t fit you
Because it’s happened doesn’t mean you’ve been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can’t stay here with every single hope you had shattered
QUESTION: What’s Bon’s signature dance song?
IPOD SAYS: “Dig for Fire” by Pixies
there is this old man
who spent so much of his life sleeping
that he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years
he resides
on a beach
in a town
where i am going to live
and i often ask him
“are you looking for the mother lode?”
huh?
no.
no my child, this is not my desire
and then he said
i’m digging for fire
QUESTION: What’s Bon’s current theme song?
IPOD SAYS: “Gigantic” by Pixies
And this I know
His teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her every day
Into a shady place
With her lips she said
She said
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let’s have a ball
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
QUESTION: What do others think Bon’s current theme song is?
IPOD SAYS: “Turn You Inside Out” by REM
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
QUESTION: What will they play at Bon’s funeral?
IPOD SAYS: “Pretty in Pink” by The Psychedelic Furs
She lives in the place
In the side of our lives
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
‘This is it’
‘That’s the end of the joke’
She is gone
But the joke’s the same
QUESTION: What type of men does Bon like?
IPOD SAYS: “Oh! Darling” by The Beatles
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I’ll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never do you no harm
QUESTION: How’s Bon’s love life?
IPOD SAYS: “There She Goes” by Sixpence None the Richer
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can’t contain
This feeling that remains
