- Will I get far in life? "Cheatin'" by the Gin Blossoms -- Does that mean this is the only way I might get far in life?
- How do my friends see me?
"I Believe" by R.E.M. -- Aw, how sweet. They believe in me. Exactly what they believe is another question. - When will I get married?
"The Only Flame in Town" by Elvis Costello -- Since I'm already married, I'm guessing this means I won't get married again, which is what I expect. - What's my theme song?
"Them, Big Oak Trees" by The Wonder Stuff -- That is utterly random, and, thus, I love it. - What is the story of my life?
"No Kruggerands for David" by Camper Van Beethoven -- I was really hoping this would come out as "Story of My Life" by Social Distortion (because it's a good song, and because of the amazing self-referentiality). But this is fine, too. - What am I like in bed?
"Been Around the World" by Cracker -- No comment. - How can I get ahead in life?
"She's the One" by Bruce Springsteen -- but who is she? - What is my best feature?
"Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel -- My best feature is that I quit Genesis because God told me to? - How is today going to be?
"Listen To My Heart" by Ramones -- So I'll do just what I want to do, then. - What is in store for this weekend?
"Uncle Son" by The Kinks -- either hillbillies or a lot of family time, I guess. - What is my life like at the moment?
"I'm Sick (Of This American Life)" by They Might Be Giants -- not particularly, as far as I can tell. - What song describes my secrets?
"Baba O'Reilly" by Dread Zeppelin -- Yes, now I can come clean: out here in the field, I do fight for my meals, and get my back into my living. God, how good it feels to finally be honest! - What is my current lover like?
"Cadillac Life" by LP -- I've never sure if you're supposed to just take the name of the song as your answer, or if the song itself has something to do with it. This is a quiet depressing song about wanting something better than you have, but the name makes it sound like a positive answer to the question. - What song will they play at my funeral?
"Point of View" by Ivy -- Yes, a random song from the other band of that guy in Fountains of Wayne. Suits me; I'll be dead anyway. - How does the world see me?
"Radio, Radio" by Elvis Costello -- As a guy who complains about everything? Or as an actual radio? - Will I have a happy life?
"Is There Life After Breakfast?" by Ray Davies -- I think this one counts as a bunt. - What do my friends really think of me?
"I Don't Want to Know" by Matthew Sweet -- and I'll leave it at that. - Do people secretly lust after me?
"Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits -- You mean I could get paid for it? Oh magic 8-ball, I think your warantee has expired. - Will I accomplish my goals in life?
"Par for the Course" by Aimee Mann -- I think that means yes. - Will I find true love?
"Happy Hunting Ground" by The Church -- I guess this means yes as well. - How do I treat others?
"The Tyger" by Birdsongs of the Mesozoic -- no idea what this means.

Another iTunes Meme
I love randomness (at least in small, controlled doses, for purely research or scientific purposes), so I had to do another version of the "set your playlist to random and answer these questions" meme. I saw this one over at the home of the mighty Sea Wasp.
