What do your band names say about you?

FOUR SENTENCES I'VE NEVER SAID.

1. "That skort looks really good on you."
2. "Baby farms...that's genius!"
3. "Sure, I'll go to the local Republican rally with you."
4. "No thanks." (to someone who has passed the dutchie)

SONG TITLES THAT REFLECT HOW I'VE FELT THIS WEEK.

1. Who the Fuck? by PJ Harvey. Because I met someone out on Thursday night and apparently this girl knew me and I had absolutley no recollection of her. I didn't even pretend to know who the fuck it was.
2. Pretty Good Year, by Tori Amos. Because I just got my taxes back and despite owing the state of Iowa $17.23, I'm getting much more back from the govn't than I had expected.
3. I'm a Cuckoo, by Belle and Sebastian. Self-explanatory.
4. Another Kind of Green, by John Mayer. Because I'm currently all out of my other kind of green.
5. Panic Striken, by Leona Naess. (See number 4)

WHAT I'D BE DOING ON A PERFECT DAY.

Hopefully I'd be enjoying it.

5 ROCK BAND NAMES I CAME UP WITH.

1. White Rabbit
2. The Sunday Nights
3. The Intrilligators
4. A Little to the Left
5. All Together Nows

I GET TO GO BACK IN TIME AND STOP 3 SONGS FROM BEING WRITTEN.

1. "Seasons of Love" from RENT. For that matter, all songs from RENT except for "La Vie Boheme" because it's the only one that doesn't make me cringe. Even Roasario Dawson couldn't save that movie.

2. "Barbie Girl" by I don't even know who...it's the one that goes, "I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world / life in plastic, it's fantastic." I don't know who I blame more, the person who wrote the song or the people who had a hand in its popularity.

3. "I'm a Little Tea Pot." It gave me terrible body-issues as a young, impressionable tot.
