Avernus

Meme on loan from Lizzu. Though I rather doubt that my life in lyrics will compare with the Brian Boitano-filled ultra-violence of hers.

Opening Credits
The Monkees - Saturday's Child
Wow, apparently I'm the kooky free-spirited heroine of a 60s madcap romantic comedy! So long as that madcap romantic comedy isn't I Dream Of Jeanie, because hareem pants aren't for me.

Waking Up
Gravitation - Gravitation, pure silence mix. You know the one. The slightly melancholy piano background music that plays when Yuki and Shuichi have a serious moment.
Hum. So apparently I'm a kooky free-spirited heroine with a really sad homelife, who probably wakes up in the morning and looks at herself in the mirror and wonders if people are ever going to accept her kooky free-spirited ways, before sighing in a matter of fact way and going downstairs to wake her alcoholic father from the chair where he's fallen asleep in front of the football with a bottle of cheap whiskey in his hand. Oh noes.

First Day At School
The Beiderbecke Collection - Vive Le Van
And we're back on the madcap romantic comedy! I quite clearly rollerskate down to the bus stop, but miss it by inches, so I hook the rear bumper with my umbrella handle and hitch a lift, picking up a coffee and a newspaper on the way from some comedically startled vendors as I zoom past. I may fall into a thyme bush when the bus pulls into school, leading to my getting a reputation as kooky and free spirited.

...I think my character is bipolar.

Falling In Love
Corelli - Christmas Concerto.
...apparently I fall in love with the serious-minded leader of the school orchestra. I sense madcap odd-couple shenanigans! He clearly doesn't think much of me at this point though.

Fight Song
The Monkees - Randy Scouse Git.
Evidently, Monkees are the major soundtrack influence on my life. Apparently I'm leading the students in a sit-in which goes wrong after someone starts playing loud music and smoking dubious substances, leading to fight with The Man as represented by the teaching staff. I think there are some comedy props involved. I suspect I've got my serious-minded violin player involved, for which he won't thank me.

Breaking Up
David Bowie - Five Years.
Wow. It's the end of the world. Bummer. I choose to interpret this in the light of Kacho Oji, and have it so that only a synthesis of my kooky 60s wildchild modern-rhythm-type-music and my serious-minded violinist's classical skillz can create the music which will bring about world peace and stop the asteroid hitting the planet. Kinda like Bill & Ted. With less time travel. (Sadly.)

Prom
Ding Dong Merrily On High
....all right, so it's a Christmas prom. What are we doing here when we should be saving the planet?! Maybe we finally bond over our mutual love of traditional English Christmas carols.

Life Is Good
Gundam Wing - Far Off Dawn (Zechs Merquise's image song.)
...holy crap. Life is *not* good if the soundtrack is anything to do with this song @_@ I mean, not that I don't love it, but... But maybe it's just in here because it's kinda got a motorbike-across-wide-plains-of-the-midlands feel to it. My serious-minded violinist and I have set off on his newly purchased Vespa to study music under a reclusive guru. Although the burden of our future bears down upon us, I'm sure we can still have some madcap adventures on the way. Just...not to this song @_@

Mental Breakdown
Damien Rice - Volcano.
This is too mellow for any kind of mental breakdown. Well, maybe a very quiet kind of psychotic break. But it seems our love was never meant to be, as he thinks I'm too immature to save the world. ...man, my 60s madcap life is getting waaaay too serious.

Driving
I *already* drove! But it's okay, I got -
Vashti Bunyan - Iris' Song (version 2)
so instead of driving, I've managed to get hold of a tiny gypsy caravan and an old plodder of a horse to pull it, and I've set off to find the true England. *That's* more like my kooky free-spirited 60s life! Though my serious-minded violinist and I have now parted ways, so I am in a Sad and Reflective mood.

Flashback
Koko wa Greenwood - No-Brand Heroes
D'awwww. My serious-minded violinist is remembering the various kooky scrapes I got him into. I am gradually winning him over by the power of spaz!

Getting Back Together
The Kinks - Where Have All The Good Times Gone?
See??! He has realised the error of his ways! He has finally realised that the kooky madcap 60s life embodied in his kooky madcap 60s ex-girlfriend (viz. me) has much to recommend it. And, after all, we *do* need to save the world.

Wedding
Belle & Sebastian - We Are The Sleepyheads
Heh. He's in entirely correct morning dress, I'm wearing an op-art print dress and far too many beads.

Paying The Dues
Poulenc - Salve Regina.
Whoa, dude @_@ Who died?! Please say it's not my reformed-serious-minded-violinist! Though maybe he did :S We just had time to create one perfect song, and then he got shot by a sniper who's in the employ of the Russians, who want the asteroid to strike because it'll wipe out America and its decadent free-love ways, allowing Mother Russia to become the undisputed super-power of the world.

The Night Before The War
The Smiths - Never Had No One Ever
Apparently I prepare for battle by angsting about my beloved dead reformed-serious-minded-violinist. I am teh emo.

Final Battle
Tori Amos - Hotel
...whoa @_@ Trippiest final battle *ever*. This is apparently the song which stops all wars and can be channelled at the asteroid as a sort of sonar-weapon. Holy crap.

Moment of Triumph
OH MY FUCKING GOD
I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT BETTER IF I'D PLANNED IT
WINAMP IS PSYCHIC ZOMG SO SCARED
Kacho Oji - Cautionary Warning.
Nobody is *ever* going to believe I didn't cheat to get that, or go through and generate all my songs before I started writing the plot, but I swear on all I hold dear, I didn't @_@ IT'S THE SONG THAT SAVED THE WORLD, PEOPLE.

Death Scene
Elisabeth - Der Letzte Tanz. - about two-thirds of the way down the page.
...holy crap. Death was in love with me and my kooky 60s ways all along. That explains *such a lot*. An asteroid being thrown at the earth is his equivalent of a bouquet.

Funeral Song
The Monkees - Take a Giant Step
ZOMG. Death has joined me in my madcap kooky 60s ways, and is serenading me in Monkees lyrics, encouraging me to join him in madcap 60s capers Beyond The Veil.

End Credits
Stephen Lynch - Superhero.
....oh, *yes*. It's kooky! It's crazy! And now Death and I can go on and be the kookiest, craziest superheroes of all.

Sorry, deceased-but-formerly-serious-minded violinist dude. But if it comes down to a choice between you and der Tod, then he wins every time.

....I think I love my film. I want to see this, like, now. Any suggests for a title?

I should also perhaps note that there are 1692 songs in this particular playlist, of which 30 tracks are by the Monkees. So I think the fact that Winamp picked three songs by them as the soundtrack of my madcap 60s life proves once and for all that the damned program has developed sentience.
