Who Are You Am I
By Mitch Berg
Someone – frequent commenter BillC, if memory serves – sent this around on Facebook a while ago.
The idea? Pick an artist or band, and then answer the questions using nothing but song titles from their discography. The source album is included in italics (I add this mainly because if I don’t, one of the entries is going to look kinda weird…)
I chose…:
Pick Your Artist: The Who
Are you male or female? “I’m A Boy” [Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy]
Describe yourself: “The Punk meets the Godfather” [Quadrophenia]
How do you feel about yourself? “I Can See For Miles” [Who Sell Out]
Describe where you currently live: “Amenia, City In The Sky” [Who Sell Out]
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? “Tommy’s Holiday Camp” [Tommy]
Your best friend is: “Baba O’Riley” [Who’s Next]
Your favorite color is: “Red, Blue and Grey” [Who by Numbers]
You know that: “The Music Must Change” (Who Are You)
What’s the weather like: “Heat Wave” (yes, it’s a cover of Martha and the Vandellas, from A Quick One)
If your life was a tv show, what would it be called?: “Won’t Get Fooled Again” [Who’s Next]
What is life to you? “Faith In Something Bigger” [Odds ‘n Sods]
What is the best advice you have to give? “Bargain” [Who’s Next][used as a verb in the imperative, naturally]
If you could change your name, what would it be? “Doctor Jimmy and[/or] Mister Jim” [Quadrophenia]
Your favorite food is: “Heinz Baked Beans” [The Who Sell Out, and yes, I know, it’s not technically a song – it’s one of the fake ads from the album, which was in its entirety a face radio broadcast. But the game just says titles, not “songs”. I think]
Well, that was fifteen minutes I don’t have to figure out how to occupy…
