The Whipping: itunes shuffle meme
My friend Aubrey posted this over at her blog, and I thought it was great.
The Rules:
1. Put Your iTunes on Shuffle.
2. For each question, press the ‘next’ button to get your answer. (or listen to each song, like I did.)
3. You must write down the name of the song no matter how silly it sounds!
4. Put any comments in brackets after the song name.
You can find my answers, and a link to listen to my answers in mix form after the jump…
Stream this while you read the answers…
