What's the soundtrack to your life?

Jun 3, 2012 4:10 AM

I was thinking about this project I did a long time ago. It was to make up the soundtrack to your life they had 18 categories and you had to pick a song for each one. I thought Woot should do it too!

For each category pick a song

Opening Credits
Waking up
First Day of School
Falling In Love
Fighting
Breaking Up
Prom
Life
Mental Breakdown
Driving
Flashback
Making Up
Wedding
Birth Of Child
Final Battle
Death Scene
Funeral
End Credits

Wow, this question is really, really hard!

I have some sappy songs in my head from The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz but I think I will spare myself the embarrassment of actually naming them. :)

Really hard indeed, I seriously answered all my questions the way I wanted it (and took forever getting links up) and I guess it's no bueno.

I guess I read the question wrong.. I just found it hurtful on the negative feedback there.

Thanks @gideonfrost for the question! Please excuse me for not participating, but just the thought of trying to assemble appropriate songs makes my head hurt. I'd also like thank everyone that did post lists (especially @captainsuperdawg @gideonfrost and @joshobra for all those links)! I had a lot of fun browsing songs, many of which were outside my normal purview. Two songs I hadn't heard and especially liked were Anything Like Me and Rockelbel's Canon in D.

I can't help but think of the episode of Family Guy when Peter is granted a wish to have his soundtrack of life playing all the time as performed by John Williams... Good question, BTW, but too much work on a Sunday morning... :-)

It is really hard. It took me over an hour. to make my post. I should have done it before I asked. I would have taken off some categories.

Too hard for me, so I'll just choose any and all songs sung by The Wiggles.

@gionot: You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed that song as much as I did! The piano guys are truly amazing musicians. I seriously spent a whole day listening to their songs over and over on YouTube when I first heard them.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
