Uses of musicFollow

What is your favourite use of music?

Motivation? Energy getter-ridder-ofer? Distraction?


Personally, mine is freaking people out. I like to sing, you see. Any time, any place. And I can carry a tune (certain songs are excepted) fairly well. However, people don't like this. They ignore it. This makes things fun.

    Freaking people out 101


What to use where and why.

1) At night: Fear of the Dark, Iron Maiden. Why? Because people ignore it, but you get to see them glance over their shoulders warily as if you're singing the truth.

2) On public transport: Bicycle race, Queen. It confuses people. They're wondering why there's someone singing about bikes on a bus and their mind turns to goo.

3) Behind slow-moving old ladies: Fuel, Metallica. Because they're slow, and you're singing about being fast. Who doesn't love irony?

4) Outside the theology department: There goes God, Crowded House. I got someone to look out of the window once before they realised what they were doing.

5) Anywhere: Shiny Happy People, REM. People get scared when there's a teenager singing such a jaunty tune. He must be up to something.

6) Anywhere: Who are you, The Who. Everybody thinks you're talking to them. Self-absoprtion is a common trait around town, I've noticed.

7) Near a delivery guy: Money for Nothing, Dire Straits. There's always some guys delivering groceries to a shop I walk past in the mornings. "Got to move these Granny Smith apples, custom fruit delivereeyeeyey!"

8) Any dark alley: U can't touch this, MC Hammer. Tempting fate is fun.

9) Around the Computer Science department (especially in the post-grad area): Wasted Years, Iron Maiden. It's funny because it's true.

10) In the dark: Thriller, Michael Jackson. See #1. Especially that bit at the end.

11) City centre: I like driving in my car, Madness. This song is purely silly and annoying, and it's good for a pedestrian to sing in crowded areas. Once again the confusion application as in #2.

12) Outside the doctor's clinic: Everybody hurts, REM. Hey, music can cheer people up too you know.

13) Near the **** alleys/RLD: Torture me, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Hey honey, lookin' for some fun? I got whips and ******...

14) In a shopping centre: Chop Suey!, System of a Down. This is just fun to do. God, the looks you get.

15) In a busy place: Good ol' fashoined loverboy, Queen. Bonus points for winking at anybody attractive.

Experimentation is the way forward!

So, what do you do with music?

Sexy time rhythm and moods.

And no, that's not just some pervy answer, that's honestly my favorite use of music. The right soundtrack can really enhance an already awesome night.

I don't think even music could make sex with a ginger worthwhile.

Miles is great, regardless of the presence of drugs. However, I'd bet Sun Ra or some other crazy freeform shit would probably make your brain explode if you were on 'shrooms.

I use my music for enjoyment, and occasionally to turn my ears off so I don't have to hear anything but the music, whether it be to just relax or to concentrate. It works.

I like to burst out
"I wanna hold you till I die.. till we both break down and cry.." to strangers. It's a good way to pass time around here.

Music is something to lose yourself in, to absorb and analyze, to appreciate for both technicality and simplicity. It is the fuel for the mind, soul, and even occasionally the body and heart. If there is a better way to control one's emotion than by some well-placed music, then I have not found it.

See my location.

Currently listening to: Octavarium by Dream Theater.

I like to listen to classical music when I'm doing long road trips. It helps me stay awake and focused. Otherwise I usually listen to whatever radio station people have turned on. It's mostly background noise to me.

edit: I always liked pump me up music before volleyball games in high school.

I like to use music to give spoilers away for movies. Also, I use music lyrics as a post on allakhazam forums to **** people off.

Umm, you mean "Possum Kingdom", by the Toadies.

I like music because I like music. It makes car rides better, and races GREAT.

#21REDACTED, Posted: Oct 25 2007 at 4:49 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If you sing I am the Walrus anywhere outside of a group of close friends or at home people will think you are crazy, probably for good reasons too.

I've heard listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUwWC4QzBuk while on an acid trip is something interesting.

But mainly I use music just for fun, or (depending on what I listen to) I can give people the impression that I'm a very strange person, which is amusing.
