The Lilah Music Challenge // Two Year Anniversary of the Horrible Tag

So two years ago (almost exactly) my friend had a blogoversary. Her first year of blogging! (on that blog anyway.)

And she foolishly decided to have an AMA (Ask Me Anything...)

If you're new here, you can read the full story of what happened next in the tab on the top left of the page labeled, "The Lilah Music Challenge." But basically, I was the worst best friend.

You can also steal the list of questions from there if you want to do that tag.
You can also find the rules there because I'm too lazy to put them here even if it just means copying and pasting them. And anyway, this post is going to be long enough as is.

 

1. One song on the radio that annoys you?
    I haven't listened to the radio in so long...
      
2.  One song that you love and sing along to every time it comes on the radio
    If I know the lyrics and am either alone or in a car with friends or family, I sing any song that I know all the words to
   
   
3.  Favorite and least favorite genre of music?
   Favorite...Oof. I'm not sure. I don't think I have one since I basically just steal my favorites from whatever my friends and family are listening to.
   Least favorite would probably be screamo?
   
   
4.  Last song you listened to?
   Why stop there? Here are the last five songs I listened to
   
   Back in Black by AC/DC
   There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes
   Mama's Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert
   Guns and Ships from Hamilton
   You'll Be Back from Hamilton
        
5.  Song you've been listening to a lot?
   I haven't especially listened to anything recently, but There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes was a recent discovery so I've listened to it a bit these past couple weeks
   
   
6.  Favorite music video?
   Me! by Taylor Swift was pretty cool and Piano Guys' Mission Impossible Theme...And of course my answers from the last time around still count...but I'm not sure what my favorite is.
    
7.  Are you listening to music right now?
   Yes. The Summit by Avi Kaplan
    
8.  Favorite romantic song?
   In Case You Didn't Know by Brett Young
   Anywhere With You Is Home by Kurt Schneider, Sam Tsui, Alyson Stoner
   I Believe In You by Michael Bublé
   And Gentleman by Will Jay is pretty cute too
9.  Last song you cried during?
   I honestly can't remember ever crying during a song...
   
   
10.  Last song that made you laugh?
     Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by The Four Lads
    Not because of the actual song, but because it's in my travel playlist.
    Which is also set as my morning alarm on my phone. It sounds like a good idea right? That way you wake up to songs that make you want to GO! And DO STUFF!
    
    Well, it's all fun and games till this monstrosity comes blaring in your ears and scares you half to death.
    
    But also You'll Be Back from Hamilton is amazing
    
    
11.  A song you like in a different language?
    A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal from Brave (in Celtic)
    Sonrisa by Kendji Girac
    Maria Maria by Kendji Girac

    I don't have a favorite-favorite, ...but basically any country song.
       
13.  Road trip song?
    Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts, of course
       
14.  Put yourself to sleep song?
    I am a college student. I could probably sleep through a rock concert. Besides, if I was trying to put myself to sleep I'd probably put on a podcast of someone reading a book or something else that has someone talking.
    
    
15.  While-you-read song?
    Any song. But usually, I don't bother turning on music since I know I'll mostly zone it out
       
16.  While-you-study song?
    I mix it up so it stays novel. But either something with a good beat to keep me motivated or classical music (or any wordless music) to help me focus and block out extra noise.
       
17.  Last song on your playlist?
    I looked at my last answer to see what playlist I should pick this time... and all I can say is "Gesundheit"

    I couldn't listen to We're Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift for a looooong time because I kept seeing those horrible backup dancers
    
    Also, Tequila by Dan and Shay was cuter after seeing the music video

    I probably wouldn't recommend one song to every single person...so I'll just say nothing. (I also don't have to think of a reply this way.)

    Excuse me?

    The songs from Moana are so CATCHY and ugh. Save me.
     
45. A song you listen to while pretending you're listening to someone talk?
    I don't listen to music while pretending I'm listening to people. I pretend I'm listening to music while I'm listening to people.

    Any song is a children's song is you tell a child it is

    Something Irish...
    
    Ok to be honest, my kids would probably just have to hear me softly singing whatever song I have stuck in my head but in a lullaby cadence
    
    Me: He's got...nine....lives
           Cat's. eyes.
    
    
    The only trick is if I can get myself to not yell, "CAT'S EYES!"
    
    
        
48. A song that is "your theme song"
     My family once had an interesting discussion about this (we were bored on a road trip) and we decided that Never Been In Love by Will Jay was 100% me in a song
