The Soundtrack of Your Life

I saw this on somebody's blog, and I just coldn't resist.

okay, rules are....only use a song in one category, sometimes you can use 2 songs

Here's my picks...
1. A favorite political track.
Fight the Power, Public Enemy

2. The song you'd use to tell someone you love them.
The Waters of March, Elis Regina and Antonio Carlos Jobim or Love's Holiday, Earth Wind & Fire

3. A song that has made you sit down and analyze it's lyrics.
Imagine, John Lennon or On and On, Erykah Badu or Potholes in my Lawn, De La Soul

4. A song that you like, that a two year old would like as well.
What If Cartoons Got Saved, Cris Rice

5. A song that gives you an energy boost.
Beats on a String, Jungle Brothers or Can't Hide Love (Masters at Work remix)

6. A song that you and your grandparents (would probably) like.
Doin' it to Death, James Brown or Green Onions, Booker T and the MGs

7. A song that you really liked when you were 14-16, and still really like now.
Johnny the Fox - Mantronix and Woody Woodpecker/Midnight Sun/Moody's Mood by Chuck Brown (gogo)

11.A song that you think should have been playing when you were born.
Nature Boy, Natalie Cole

12. A favorite artist duo collaboration.

13. A favorite song that you completely disagree with (politically, morally,commonsenically, religiously etc.)
anything by Nelly, Chingy, Ying Yang, etc...

14. The song that you like despite the fact your IQ level drops several points every time you listen to it.

16. A song you would send to someone you hate or are mad at.
Still Have Joy - Tye Tribbett

17. A favorite track from an outfit considered a super-group.
Illumination - Pure Gold, Earth wind and Fire or Never Stop (Heavies Extended Remix) by Brand New Heavies

18. A song that makes you reminsce about good times with a family member.
I Want to Thank you - Alicia Meyers

19. Your favorite song at this moment in time.
Beau Mot Plage (Freeform Remix), Isolee and Night in Tunisa (Jazzy Jeff)

20. The song you want playing during the intermission
Beijo, Earth Wind and Fire or theme from Hawaii Five-O

21. A song you like and have no idea what they are saying.
Melody (Masters At Work remix) - Misia (its in japanese)

22-26. Bonus Tracks
Stop the Violence - Boogie Down Productions
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Red Baron Remix) - Berlin Symphony Orchestra
Latin Lover (Masters at Work remix) - Stephanie Mills
Meio De Campo - Elis Regina

I thought this was really insightful and fun. I also realized I like ALOT of music. There were a bunch of songs I wanted to include, but didn't fit (and there would be like 50 bonus tracks) I sent it to a few of my friends and it is truly a peek into their lives....seeing that we liked the same songs when we were teens even though we didn't grow up together was fun. So what's your soundtrack?
