Ipod content- a song is worth a thousand words... or one hundred and seventy three.

It's currently about 1:30 in the morning EST, and I'm having the worst time sleeping ever. What do I do? I go to the Ipod to see if there is anything in there that will soothe me into a peaceful slumber. While listening to Chris Martin sing about the Osaka sun, I realize that there is something to be said for people and what they have on their Ipod versus how you perceive them. If you went on a date with a girl and the first song she want to listen to during the ride over is David Banner's "Play", It's likely going to throw you for a loop. When given choice of musical selection, be it in the car, in a party situation, etc., you can usually tell a lot from them based on their selection. I've compiled a small list of what you can expect from the typical party situation.

Sugar Ray- Fuck yes, I grew up in the nineties!

Dave Matthews Band (to a lesser extent, Jack Johnson.) - This is such a sweet jam, pass me a brewski would you bro?

Death Cab for Cutie - I don't really know a lot about music, but I want to seem like I know my way about the indie music world.

Lady Gaga - I want to make bad decisions tonight.

Bob Marley - I want to find out who else in the room smokes.

Ratt - All of my musical taste comes from my dad.

Any Disney Song - I want everyone to sing a long except those who didn't have a childhood whom I want to feel awkward.

Dropkick Murphys - Who here is from Boston?

The Fray - I want you to ask me what I'm sad about.

Green Day (recent)- I want to talk about politics with someone. Let's see if I can goad any Republicans here into asking me why I put this on.

Sean Paul - I don't know the words to many songs, so I might as well put on something that no one knows the words to.

Akon - I've been stuck having to pick the next song at the party and need something to put on.

Fall Out Boy - I've just had a terrible lapse in judgement. Fall Out Boy is like masturbation. Only by yourself, and never talk about it.

Vengaboys - I want this night to turn into a middle school dance.

Coldplay - Hmmm, what's something everyone agrees on... Oh! Here we are.

Afroman - I want to know who is here to party and who isn't.

Haddaway - I need an obnoxious dance move that everyone here will recognize, but that other guy already did the dice roll from Knocked Up...

Journey - I want other people to sing with me.

Katy Perry - I need to counter the Lady Gaga that other person put on.

Boy Bands (Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, LFO) - I want to talk to this girl about how much we loved this song when we were little. Remember to work in that you liked it even though the other boys gave you a hard time.

The Dream - I am a Chris Brown fan who was devastated by his fall from grace. I'm letting this clown try to fill his shoes the best I can.

Basshunter - I want to get a dance party started.

My Chemical Romance - I want to get kicked out of this party.

Rhianna - I'm about 6 months behind the times.

Lonley Island - I think things are funnier for way longer than everyone else does.

Rick Astley - I'm an avid internet user and an asshole to boot. I trolled this party cause i'm 1337.

Moldy Peaches - I want to talk about Juno.

Jim Jones - Someone on the ruit table wanted a "good song to shoot to".

Nelly Furtado (early) - I'm a nice girl who loves the positive messages being provided to me by Ms. Furtado through her artistic music.

Nelly Furtado (late) - I'm down to get down. Getting me and drink and telling me you like the way I move will totally work.

Nickelback- I ate lead as a child. Like pounds of the stuff.

The Outthere Brothers - I need an excuse to go rub myself against that girl.

Taylor Swift (excluding Love Story, as that is actually known relatively well) - The boys here look like they are having too much fun. Let's make them feel a little awkward.

Crazy Town - I know and understand music and what people like to listen to.

The Killers - Hi, I'm Sam Sheehan and I'm the only person who will ever try to put on The Killers in a party situation.
