Random 25 Songs

GWC Community Off-Topic/Other
#1

Stealing this right off of Facebook as I think this will be interesting for our community. I have always felt that looking through someone’s music collection tells you something very interesting about that person. With that in mind let’s try this here.

Rules as follows:

  1. Turn on your MP3 player.
  2. Go to SHUFFLE songs mode.
  3. Write down the first 25 songs that come up–song title and artist–NO editing/cheating, please.
  4. Or you can do what I did being an iTunes geek and made a smart playlist which accomplishes the same thing and export the playlist to paste in.
  5. As an added bonus GWC twist add a 26th song that didn’t appear on your list that you feel is necessary

Ready? Here is mine:

1 - Little Bitty Pretty One - Bobby Darin
2 - Overkill - Colin Hay
3 - Just Like Heaven - The Cure
4 - Quick - Eddie from Ohio

How do you export a playlist without all the file location and genre fields?

#4

Mine had a lot of soundtracks, no wonder since it compiles about 40 % of my hole library.

I went on vacation in Europe with family as kind of a graduation gift in 2000. Oh my God, Sex Bomb was on half the time whenever I went into department stores.

Also love that rendition of “Misunderstood.” Really elevates the song.

Lastly, which Danny Elfman “Prelude” is it?

#6

I would guess, that you have to close all infos (playtime, album, playcount etc.) in that playlist before you export it.

#7

Yeah around that time 1999/2000 Sex Bomb was played over and over. lol
The over 10 minute version from the Kill Bill Soundtrack always gets me dancing around.
And the Danny Elfman “Prelude” is from Psycho.
