\"magic_8_ball.jpg\"This one came from my daughter Katie, it’s a fun little game that requires you to brave your iTunes library as you use it essentially as a Magic 8-Ball and allow it to answer a series of questions. Most answers will come out as nonsense, some are surprising and will test your ability to live up to Rule #3. After one false start, I took another try at it and came out with the below results. Song title links lead to SongMeanings.net<\/a> or other lyrics sites for those that want to pursue further psycho-analysis.<\/p>\n

RULES:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Put your iTunes, windows media player etc on Shuffle<\/li>\n
  2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.<\/li>\n
  3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS<\/li>\n
  4. Put any comments in brackets or parentheses after the song name<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If someone says “is this okay?” you say:
    \n    Room With No Number<\/a> – Elvis Costello<\/em><\/p>\n

    (‘While the sign outside says there’s no vacancy’ – probably means I’ll respond ‘huh’ and they’ll need to ask me again)<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n    Cheat<\/a> – The Clash
    \n(‘Want excitement, don’t get none, I go wild’ – I dunno, hard to say I like lying and cheating in anyone, but maybe I just wouldn’t know?)<\/p>\n
