This thread has two purposes. I'm making an old blog game into a forum game to entertain us (below this somewhat wordy paragraph). However, I am also asking a question about this game and others like it. Back when I blogged regularly and a number of my friends were bloggers as well, there used to be these things people called "blog memes". Usually, they were a list of personal questions you'd answer, but sometimes they were fun activities to create a post on your blog (such as this, which I originally came across as a "blog meme"). What made them "memes" was that they had built-in spread, like chain letters: you'd do whatever the "meme" was, and then you'd name five bloggers as "tagged" to also do the "meme". Do people think that "blog memes" as a concept are a meme, or is it only certain instances of the phenomenon? But anyway…
Song Shuffle Meme Game
Get your iPod, mp3 player, or whatever you use to listen to music electronically, and put it on "shuffle". Ask the following 15 questions, and click "next"; the song will be your answer. (Addition of lyrics to your post is optional.)
1. What do you think of me, mp3 player?
Dead Melodies by Beck
Does that mean you're not happy with my music choices?
2. Will I have a happy life?
Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters
 What have we done with innocence
 It disappeared with time
 It never made much sense
 Adolescent resident
 Wasting another night on planning my revenge
 One in ten
 Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
 One more indecent accident
 I'd rather leave than suffer this
 I'll never be your monkey wrench
That doesn't sound really positive.
3. What do my friends really think of me?
Creep by Radiohead
Real nice…
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
Who Said I Would? by Phil Collins
I guess I'll take that as a "no".
5. How can I make myself happy?
Bottle of Blues by Beck
Medication. Got it.
6. What should I do with my life?
Girls on Film by Duran Duran
Are you encouraging me to make porn, or just watch it?
7. Why must life be so full of pain?
Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
Not sure what you're saying here. Maybe that since we have hearts, we inevitably experience heartbreak?
8. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Florida by Modest Mouse
 I guess I'll pack up my mind
 It took so much effort
 Not to make an effort
 Oh, what a flawless design
 It was always worth it
 That's the part I seem to hide
 And the busy ant empire
 Put all your clothes inside
 Even as I left Florida
No idea here.
9. Will I have (more) children?
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John by Belle & Sebastian with Norah Jones
What are these, name suggestions?
10. Will I die happy?
You're Not by Nataly Dawn
 Why do the little words
 Tear us apart
 I’m not entirely sure
 Where this whole story starts
 You’re not what I expected to hear
 Here tonight
 And I am not like you
 I don’t like planning my life out
 Pretending my house is on fire
 While I’m waiting to expire
Hmm, another less-than-encouraging answer.
11. Can you give me some advice?
Your New Twin Sized Bed by Death Cab for Cutie
Ah, get a new bed? That might be helpful.
12. What do you think happiness is?
Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
Wow, you're a real downer today.
13. What's my favourite fetish?
Last Resort by Papa Roach
I didn't know suicide was a fetish! It doesn't sound very sexy.
14. What is my significant other thinking at this very moment?
The Cheat Theme Song by The Skate Party
Oh, dear.
15. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?
Say No Go by De La Soul
Okay, forget I asked.
