So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
Opening Credits: Ladytron - "Laughing Cavelier"
Sounds like something from the Dr. Who soundtrack. Perfect. (Did anyone else watch it as a kid and wonder how the hell that computerized office fit in a phone booth?)
Waking Up: Medeski, Martin and Wood - "Mami Gato"
If I could wake up in this type of jazzy mood each morning, I wouldn't hate my life so much.
First Day At School: Wintersleep - "Migration"
If I have to migrate to another "first day at school," I will kill myself.
Falling In Love: The Kills (covering Serge Gainsbourg) - "I Call It Art"
Yes, I'm that pretentious.
Sex Scene: MSTRKRFRT - "She's Good For Business"
It's funny 'cause it's true.
Fight Song: Air - "Photograph"
I love you Air, but I'm so not fucking fighting to your limp-wristed, vanilla lullabies.
Breaking Up: Eagles Of Death Metal - "Poor Doggy"
Nothing like reducing your ex to a dog. Or maybe doing it doggy one more time for the road. Whatever the case, it works.
Prom: Lush - "Ocean"
If they played this at my prom, I would have been one happy starry-eyed, shoe-gazing, hormonally-charged 17-year old.
Life's OK: The Strokes - "Electricityscape"
Life would be A-OK if I was in NYC with Julian and company.
Mental Breakdown: Beck - "Static"
I'm breaking down as we speak.
Quitting Shit Job: Half-Life 2 Soundtrack - "Lab Practicum"
The fact that I have this song in iTunes is a testament to why I -- and the person who sent me this track -- should stop gaming and get back to work.
Driving: The Rapture - "Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks"
Not only apropos, but fucking hot.
Flashback: Jackson and his Computer Band - "Moto"
Jackson can flash my back any day. Wiki him and you'll understand.
Getting Back Together: The Magnetic Fields - "Underwear"
The only reason to get back together, really.
Birth of Child: The Arcade Fire - "Headlights Look Like Diamonds"
Can the father of the child be Win Butler? No? Fuck it, then.
Wedding: Supergrass - "Run"
Indeed.
Final Battle: The Vines - "Gross Out"
It would be a minute-long fight, but dammit, it would be fucking crazy.
Death Scene: Boards of Canada - "Tears From the Compound Eye"
YES.
Funeral Song: vitaminsforyou - "Everything is Always"
My funeral song will not sound like postmodern fluff.
End Credits: Roni Size - "The Streets"
Fuck this, let's dance.

I'm gonna do this! This is fun! Plus, it kinda makes up for the fact that I couldn't DJ with you tonight. Kinda:
Opening Credits: Beck - "Earthquake Weather" - This opener makes me WAY cooler than I am...OR not NEARLY as cool as I am. It's up to the viewer to decide.
Waking Up: Sloan "Two Seater" - I could see this as my waking up song if I was in "Spun 2" directed by Kevin Smith.
First Day At School: Radiohead "Everything is in its right place" - Kinda appropriate actually, except I wish I HAD heard this song before my first day at school. I probably wouldn't have understood its deep resonance but it might have helped.
Falling In Love: Jimi Hendrix "May this be love" - OK, that's a little too obvious JIMI. Come up with something more original next time, won't cha?
Sex Scene: *prologue* oh boy, this better be good - Thurston Moore "Off Work" - well, it's good sex scene music if the scene is rife with emotional tension and kinda sloppy.
Fight Song: Danger Mouse - "Public Service Announcement" off of the Grey Album - Kinda cool. Update version of "Mama said knock you out" for this context. It would be MY fight song, if I fought.
Breaking Up: Beck - "Hell Yes" - Now that's just funny.
Prom: The White Stripes - "Hypnotize" - This would be the BEST prom I'd ever been too. It's would be David Lynch's Prom with a rockabilly fever!
Life's OK: Beck - "New Pollution" - *author's note: I have too much Beck on my Itouch - Very appropriate, but then again, every Beck song is appropriate for me and all my many moods.
Mental Breakdown: Deftones - "Change (in a house of flies) - Wow, that's kinda creepy, since that is the CREEPIEST song I have on my Ipod. Yeesh. I wanna bath in salt water now.
Quitting Shit Job: Radiohead - "The National Anthem" - AWESOME. Fuck 'em.
Driving: Kanye West "Family Business" - Wow...I'm Gangstaaaaaar. But I feel the pain.
Flashback: Coldplay "Swallowed by the Sea" - Wow. Again, a little creepy. Getting a little too "Six Feet Under" for me.
Getting Back Together: Broken Social Scene - "Prison Province" - If you go by the title, awesome. If you go by the actual song, it gets a little interpretive dance.
Birth of Child: The Arcade Fire - "Wake Up" - Niiiice! Very suitable for the birth of a child. Where's my cigar?
Wedding: Sebadoh - "Mind Reader" - Uh oh. You know how they say that "a wink is as good as a nod to a blind man". Well Sebadoh is as good as a curse to a wedding. It would have been more appropriate for "angry sex".
Final Battle: Ladytron - "Beauty 2" - Woah. Did I jump into the future too? A final battle in the future? I'm rad.
Death Scene: Eric's Trip - "Sun Coming Up" - I think this is the best Ipod prediction! Such a good death scene song. The tempo is confusing but leaves on a good note.
Funeral Song: Does it offend you, Yeah? - "Let's make out" - HA HA HA! THIS is the best prediction. I've got to make this into an actual movie just because of this choice.
End Credits: MIA - "Mango Pickle Down River" - Nice! MIA had to show up or it wouldn't be "real".
PS. Your answers were HILARIOUS!
