Rol and I both cheated on the "no matter what", and selected next until an answer came up that made some sort of sense. After all, there are not too many questions with the answer "Clarinet concert no 2 by Weber".
I won't do the normal thing and nominate people, but I had a little fun doing it.

"Following my fortune now the Holy Grail is found
And the Holy Bread of Heaven it is given all around

Poor as the birds but to give their song away
Gathering possessions round to make a bright array
Dark was the night, praise God the open door
I ain't got no home in this world anymore."

No surprise that you couldn't resist that one, Mike.
Does your Dansette have a "shuffle" feature, Dave?
This is the proudest day of my life.
(Tomorrow, I fall.)
Oddly, I don't own an i-pod. I do have an MP3, with a shuffle feature.
I'm not playing this silly game though, which just seems designed to impress people with the catholicity of one's musical tastes.
Rol. Your humility is touching.
Dave. Of course it is, and we will not judge those who do not take part, nor assume that they only have Cliff Richards singing "Congratulations" and a selection of "Wham's Greatest Hits" on their player.
Eh? And I'm not from Liverpewl.
Did anyone else spot that Vicus came out as a campanolgist in this post?
I don't have a shuffle either. It's just the way I walk.
how enlightening
I don't have an MP3 player. I have therefore provided a universal answer:
The Devil Made Me Do It - Rory Gallagher.
My Word!
What a fabulous eclectic collection of great music from the 60s...the 1760s & 1960s!
This meme is surprisingly accurate for such a primitive form of psychometric inquiry.
I once caught a nasty dose of Benedictus from some Paukenmesse that was undercooked...
the cure consisted of eating the Pauken from infected, dead, Benedictine Rabbits for 10 days.
Go figure?
Ooooo can I nick that one please
Sadly, I am without an ipod or shuffle or whathaveyou. I'd borrow The Boy's ipod but I fear all I'd get would be some ghastly noise with pigs squealing in the background.
No, it's not music,thankyouverymuch.
maybe I should purchase a music player thingy and do this. . .
. . .properly
for the moment I have to say that today's tune is probably the answer to many of these questions, but not all
(-:
I have shamelessly stolen this in a Friday afternoon act of blog terrorism.
Hilarious! I'm giving this a try too.
