<p>Haha, yeah. That's true.</p>
<p>wanji - what did you write?</p>
<p>My response:</p>
<p>Though there are many songs I enjoy to sing, if I were in a talent show, I’d perform one of my own. They’re not great love ballads or political statements like those by my favorite singers, but rather songs about inane homework assignments. Perhaps you’d be interested in “Ode to Differentiation,” or “RNA Polymerase Love Affair.” But my most popular hits of late have been of the hip hop genre, including the track “Cultural Revolution Gangsta.” Alas, I rarely record or even remember my works, but put me up on stage with a problem set. Hit factory!</p>
<p>Hahah, that's creative! Nice one.</p>
<p>One Small Voice - Elmo, from Sesame Street</p>

<p>Here's the response as I submitted it:</p>
<p>Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" because . . .
1) It is such an irresistible convergence of funkiness and paranoid urgency.
2) The meaning as I hear it? Don't let life go by empty, unappreciated; don't follow any predetermined, commercial life cycle -- be it marriage, religion, "letting the days go by" -- without stopping to think. "My God, what have I done!?" is the resulting cry.
3) David Byrne's tortured yelp ("this is not my beautiful house!") perfectly matches my limited vocal range.</p>
<p>"Crazy" by Patsy Cline</p>
<p>I hated it because my grandpa played it constantly in the car. When he died, I developed a new found appreciation for it. And it's lovely to sing along to.</p>
<p>"...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. (Very funny story behind it though.)</p>
<p>I choose "I did it my way" by Frank Sinatra</p>
<p>whoever wrote about Such Great Heights by The Postal Service is amazing. definitely one of my favorite songs. but i wanted to choose something practically no one has ever heard. totally worth it since i got in XD</p>
<p>"You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will." by Bright Eyes</p>
<p>Degausser by Brand New (Yes, my username is after the song. haha)</p>
<p>"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey</p>
<p>But not cuz of the message. Just because the song is awesome.</p>
