Pick the wrong song and you'll get the rotten tomatoes.

As the closing credits begin to roll at the end of the movie of your life, the audience sees you riding off into the distance. What are you riding on/in? What is on the horizon? And what song is playing in the background?

Thanks to Shyla for the ipost.

Thelma and Louise-style, I'm jumping out of plane. It's not obvious whether I will pull the chute or not. In the distance, the plane becomes an ant. The perspective switches to watch me fall from the plane and I become an ant. The song is an oldie but goodie, reworked by the artist who wrote it. It will leave the audience stunned and heartsunken.

It'll be hailed as the modern, more Islamic version of Harold and Maude.

My friend requested Lennon's "Beautiful Boy" (Listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrfi8-9JVtE ) for his funeral procession. It killed me. What a good way to end the soundtrack, though.

The movie of my life ends like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. And the song is Lyle Lovett's "All Downhill." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lq1Opz5r4

I'd be riding a zipline made of vines across an enormous chasm somewhere in the Yucatan while "Big Love" by Kevin Drew plays in the background. Here's an intensely boring video featuring the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPTuQwW5nk0.

"Big Love" is totally on my "music that inspired the film" soundtrack. So is the majority of the BSS catalog. But as far as enders go, how cool would it be to end life with "It's All Gonna Break"?

When i was a kid, you fucked me in the ass...

I seriously considered "It's All Gonna Break," but the beginning of it is not as immediately cathartic as "Big Love." If we cut into "Break" near the end of the song when the horns start kicking in, then yeah, that'd be the stuff.

Yeah, "Break" is a soundtrack in itself. The tension it builds from verse to verse is remarkable and doesn't really work outside its entirety. I wouldn't want to start that song half-way through. But the "fuck me in the ass" line does fit you.

I was watching a documentary on the seminal rock band RAWK SEXXX the other day and they closed with their cover of "You Shook Me All Night Long" -- it was awesome. I thought they would have done "Where Is My Mind?", but "You Shook Me..." was a way better fit. I love that band. They were awesome.

My favorite part was when they garbled the lyrics to the song and really only knew the melody for the chorus. Oh wait, that was the whole movie.

I'm jacked (like I always hope to be but never quite am...) and am swimming out from the shore into the ocean. There is no doubt that I'll swim forever. Next to me, there's a duck. Playing? Somehow, "Good Vibrations" comes into my head...
