Borrowed from Websnark, who borrowed it from Howard Taylor… It’s The Very Quick Play-Count Meme. I pared down my iTunes library recently, and some of the mid-to-low-playcount stuff got ditched, so this should be interesting.
- For this little three-question game you’ll need some sort of play-count record on your mp3 library. No guessing!
- What’s the most-played track in your mp3 collection, and how many times has it been played?
A cover of “I Feel Love” by the Blue Man Group: 46
- Divide that play count in half and round up. What’s the nearest song?
Oddly, there’s nothing that’s been played exactly 23 times. Bumping it up to 24 plays, it’s a tie between “I put a Spell On You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and “Bob” by “Wierd Al” Yankovic. Dropping down to 22 is a tie between two Oingo Boingo tunes, “Where Do All My Friends Go?” and their cover of “I am the Walrus” from the albums “Boi-ngo” and “Boingo”, and in that order.
- Divide that play count in half, and round up again.
Down at 12, there’s quite a crowd. The top rated ones are the English National Opera’s rendition of “The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring” from the Mikado, “Poor Tom” by Led Zeppelin, and the six-second thrash metal opus “Anti-procrastination Song” by the Stormtroopers Of Death.
- Care to explain yourself?
No, not really.
Ok, ok… “I Feel Love” is in my Songs that Get Stuck in My Head playlist. Other than that, my musical tastes are a storm of ecclecticism. A random dart-throw could hit anything from Techno to Punk to Classical to an MP3 of a 78 RPM novelty record from the 1930’s.
