tuney nark shuffle me

I picked up this neat little meme of sorts from a site I visited yesterday, after the owner had dropped by to say hello. I thought it was kinda cool, letting your tunes answer all those questions instead of thinking too much about it! Sorta like a new way of fortune telling, eh? Imagine me mysteriously saying Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to the kopitiam uncle when he asks what I want to drink!!

tunes

This is how it’s done;

1. Put your music player on shuffle mode (Winamps, iTunes etc.)
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question.
4. Absolutely no cheating!

I have three major sources of music:
- My iPod, which has 2515 tunes!!! Played anywhere, anytime.
- My iTunes on my MacBook, with 981 songs. Played mostly at home.
- My iTunes on my Dell, with 667 songs. Played mostly at work.

My iPod selection is a rather interesting one, since I really have all sorts of songs in it. Kept copying anything and everything into it, but I only listen to maybe 10% (or less) of the tunes! So…

    Cocka Doodle - because the cow moos and the horse neighs lor. Kermit my man, pass that here… *inhales… pufffffff…*

  12. Simple American  |  October 17th, 2006 10:52 pm

    I think it was fun and cool. (Occassionally ridiculous) Could you imagine if for just a while you had to do what the meme suggests. haha

    Might do this, but for some reason my iPod wiped off all of my music. The new iTunes and me are not getting along so good. I could curse right about now, but this is a nice blog and I will mind my manners.

  13. winn  |  October 17th, 2006 11:55 pm

    cool meme! so many sentimentals ..

    gbyeow - totally, dude! chup back right at ya! *grin*

  20. Zara's mama  |  October 18th, 2006 10:58 am

    Wow.. you need to know a lot of songs to do this MEME.. err.. I don’t know 80% of the songs.. Give me nursery rhymes and I’m sure I can whip something out..

  21. sengkor  |  October 18th, 2006 12:51 pm

    just like zmm, 80% of the songs i dunno, and 70% of the singers i never heard before.. i better go home and listen to the laleo more often.. hmmph.

  22. fantasyflier  |  October 18th, 2006 1:18 pm

    Holy cow! thats a neat meme…and damn challenging which I may not do…wakakkaaaaa

  23. titoki  |  October 18th, 2006 2:30 pm

    Gong Xi Fa Cai songs okay mou?! ;p

  24. life is a song « Burung Pipit  |  October 18th, 2006 2:40 pm

    […] Thanks to littlemissmay post yesterday of answer-a-question-with-a-song, i managed to hold back my horse and broke into the chorus of one of Stevie Wonder songs…. […]

  25. May  |  October 18th, 2006 2:40 pm

    seefei - it just goes on and on and on, eh? that’s the best part, a continuous “musical” for all the questions! I’m running out of filler posts, got any ideas? I hope you’re not gonna requests any food posts for now, there are only so many muffins I could bake at one time!

    zeroimpact - the New Pornographers are pretty cool! more of Indie music (”independent”, not “hindi” ah!!). I have loads of stuff in my ipod, ranging from hardcore rock (for the times when I was really down and needed to drown the voices in my head), jazz and Canto pop to soppy love songs, musicals, and your everyday funk! keeps the playlist interesting.

    velverse - uh-huh, this month definitely got velverse on my H U G H U G C L U B™ list! hmmm, a few more top chups and you might even end up with the gold! ok lah, at least the silver. or bronze. chup chup? three cheers for v!!

    Zara’s mama - actually, I’m only familiar with perhaps 70% of the songs on this list. the other 30%, I might’ve just listened to them only once! can’t hum the tune for you on the spot, for sure. that’s the problem with filling up 30GB of space with all sorts of junk! semua pun boleh!

    sengkor - the laleo plays typical pop songs only ler. come, I introduce you to some funky music… some I don’t even know! but we’ll listen and sing (or howl) togeder-geder, ok?

  26. May  |  October 18th, 2006 2:46 pm

    fantasyflier - where got challenging leh? just let your music player do all the answers! absolute beauty of it. no need to do work. if no music player, can use the radio even! LOLOL!!

    titoki - OMG, imagine listening to 27 versions of Gong Xi Fa Cai songs and using them as answers! it’ll have replies like “live long and prosper” (ooops, that was Star Trek, wasn’t it?!), gung hei lei, choy sun dou… errr, those are all the CNY songs I know! ROTFL!

    Burung Pipit - whee! a pingback!! and Life should be a Song. a good, long, lovely tune. *whistles tunelessly between lips*

  27. ChristinE  |  October 18th, 2006 3:18 pm

    not bad.. not a bad idea at all on most days when i’m stuck wondering bout things.. it just hits you with all the wildest possibilities!! (not to mention dead funniest ones too!.. making love at ur funeral.. hmmm =D)

    p/s: *still sulking* not in speaking terms wif lb..

  28. zeroimpact  |  October 18th, 2006 4:20 pm

    When I get an Ipod, I must download all your musics
    :)
    I like your songs
    Can we trade next time
    :P

  29. bkworm  |  October 18th, 2006 4:35 pm

    Lovely Deepavali song…simply lovely….kuch kuch hota hai…*with head shaking to the beat*

  30. May  |  October 18th, 2006 5:27 pm

    ChristinE - yeaahhhh!! I would love to answer questions from the Client this way — *click next* when can we expect that page to be up? *starts singing* One Fine Day… wakakakaka! ok, I’m deliriously bored right now. waaaaa, merajuk wif L B kah?! oooo, I sked liao… *sneaks away*

    zeroimpact - buy now, buy NOW!! iPods are the best! it’s such a handy little tune player, right there in your pocket. I checked out other brands too, but nothing comes close to it somehow. or maybe I’m just biased towards Apple products, LOL! can even burn you a DVD-ful of songs if you like!

    bkworm - doesn’t it just make you do the hindi-head-movement? I caught myself doing it a few times when I listened to it! KKHH!!

  31. Kenny Ng  |  October 18th, 2006 7:11 pm

    Thanks for the link, i’ll urs too… :)

  32. ah nel  |  October 18th, 2006 7:38 pm

    wah.. homework ah?
    but most of the songs I listening to are chinese or cantonese songs :P
    seee if i lazy or not loh.. :P

  34. Simple American  |  October 19th, 2006 7:44 am

    I’ll do it once I’m confident the tunes won’t wipe themselves off again. Took a while to get it loaded right.

  35. kat  |  October 19th, 2006 8:35 am

    At first I thought the song titles actually mean something…ie.
    Q: What will my dying words be?
    A: Hopelessly Devoted to You
    ..and I was like..waahhh..AhMay so terror..can find the right song titles to answer the questions..
    Then I re-read again, slowly…ohhhh…. :D
    (it will be over my dead body before I listen to Michael Learns to Rock!! :lol:)

  36. kat  |  October 19th, 2006 8:37 am

    Something must be wrong with my eyes today…I actually read your title as ‘Turkey Nark Shuffle Me’!!! :lol:
    And I was wondering what turkey had to do with this post!!

  37. zeroimpact  |  October 19th, 2006 10:25 am

    Muahahaha
    That’s nice…
    Must check it out later
    :)
    Thanks
    Hugs!

  38. May  |  October 19th, 2006 1:02 pm

    Kenny Ng - most welcome! all in a day’s job. less than a minute, to be exact… *grin*

    ah nel - at the rate that I’m going with all my music downloads and compilations, you might as well be! hahaha! come pick your tune. go for that special request. chances are, I have it in one of my many mp3 CDs.

    Chen - of course got homework lah! don’t care if it’s all chingchong songs, hindi songs also I sapu! I’m always interested in knowing what other people listen to. sometimes it gives you a little extra in knowing what the other person is like.

    SA - eh? it’s just a quick drag-n-drop from your iTunes library to your iPod. easy peasy lemon squeezy! or just play it from your laptop at home, that works too. so long as you set it to shuffle and let it run the answers.

    kat - MLTR ain’t so bad way back then, when I listened to sugarpop songs! LOLOL!! there are some tunes which I swore I’d never listen to again, yet there they are in my playlist. just for the heck of it. just in case someone asks for it. jukebox. maybe I should’ve named this post Turkey Nark Shuffle Me, it does have its turkey moments!!

    zeroimpact - no problem! just name your tune, give me that list, and I’ll see what I can muster up. or I could just copy whatever stuff I have to it for you to go through… sorta like a box of chocolates ala Forrest Gump style, yea?

  39. Simple American  |  October 19th, 2006 11:09 pm

    See the porblem is I have to put all of those tunes from my CDs back into my iTunes.

  40. zeroimpact  |  October 19th, 2006 11:39 pm

    Well that is a great idea
    I bet I’ll like all your songs
    :)

  41. Chen  |  October 20th, 2006 12:53 am

    aiyak..
    really kena do homework ah?
    okie okie
    one of these days :D

  42. May  |  October 20th, 2006 2:28 pm

    SA - and thus the perfect excuse to do some housekeeping of your songs, and sort out your favourites! *grin*

    zeroimpact - I wouldn’t say that too quickly, I do have quirky taste in music at times, LOLOL!! some which you can’t even imagine me liking or listening to. Nine Inch Nails? At the Drive-in? Postal Service? heheh!

    Chen - of course lah! you already have one up, the oldie… ooops, I mean, that nice Chinese song you put up today. that’s one down, 26 more to go!

  43. zeroimpact  |  October 20th, 2006 7:51 pm

    Try me… I have a wide range of music taste too
    Heh heh heh
    I believe there’s nothing I can’t handle at the moment
    :)

  44. Chen  |  October 20th, 2006 9:43 pm

    muahahha…
    lidat also can?
    *luan-luan lai* :P

    wah.. zeroimpact has a huge collection of songs, I presume? No? Yes?

  45. May  |  October 22nd, 2006 11:25 pm

    zeroimpact - I believe you can handle anything right now too!! you seem like a pretty open person, and very passionate as well. hope you’ve been enjoying the tunes I put up here. mostly mainstream, but nonetheless some of my favourites. :)

    Chen - of course can lah! so where’s your list? make sure you do after you’ve finished your nostalgic walk down memory lane with carcar and cynthia on good old times, ok? still waiting… *taps fingers*

  46. Chen  |  November 8th, 2006 1:23 am

    the list will be up soon..
    one of these days..
    hopefully this week :D

    i gotta type so many chinese characters leh for the list..

  47. May  |  November 8th, 2006 10:56 am

    Chen - can, caaaannnnnn… patience is a virtue I have for waiting for people to finish my tags, hahaha! this week also can, next week also can. I’ll have to pull out the BabelFish translation page to translate all to Engrish liao!

    *taps fingers again… patiently…*

  48. Chen  |  November 11th, 2006 10:46 am

    Chen - very good Doktor, very good!! waaaa, some of your answers very liuliu lor, hahaha! I’ve not heard any of them except for the last one! I’m totally clueless when it comes to chingchong songs. some I know the tune, but dunno what the lyrics mean. but then hor, great way to answer questions you don’t know the real answer to, eh? *grin*
