jesse_dylanA song you like with a color in the title.
This could qualify for a lot of these categories, though. I didn't listen to it for 6 years, because I was afraid listening to it would make it come true.
A song you like with a number in the title.
A song that reminds you of summertime.

Listen to this live version instead! I love how dirty it is, like they were just like, here we are, and here is the effin' song. It's really loud, too. They were probably on drugs, but let's pretend they were not. Just once, I'd love to rip something out really loud like that.
Anyway, my first girlfriend, who wouldn't even call herself my girlfriend, and I would drive around in her green convertible listening to this album (that I got for $3 used) in the 100 degree weather. Then we'd go home and try in vain to figure out the guitar parts. I can play it myself now (who needs a band?). One of my best moments was when I was doing a (really small) show (that I wasn't even on the poster for). She just happened to be there with her husband, and this song just happened to be the first song on my setlist. I'm sure it looked like I was saying "fuck you," or, more pathetically, "you wrecked me." I wasn't saying either of those things (it had been nearly 10 years at that point), but, you know. It could be construed kind of epically. Or really pathetically.
A song that reminds you of somebody you'd rather forget about.
I always thought if she died (like Guy Clark's wife), this song would kill me too. I'm glad she's not dead, but I didn't think she'd leave me. Or maybe I did think she would, which is why I thought this song would kill me. She, as in, the person I was with for 6 years and thought I'd be with forever, not my first girlfriend I was only with for 5 months when I was 18 (now that would be pathetic).
More, to make me look as pathetic as possible...
About a billion other songs, like Gone (Pearl Jam), entire albums (Rolling Stones' Beggar's Banquet), whole bands (Radiohead in general)...
A song that needs to be played LOUD.
A song that makes you want to dance.
I don't know if anything makes me want to dance, but I always find myself nodding my head to this song, which is a lot more than the foot bouncing I normally limit myself to.
A song to drive to.
(and like half the other songs on that album... guess I must have driven to it a lot)
A song about drugs or alcohol.
Favorite of many favorites from my favorite album of all time, a whole album that reminds me of heat and August, and unfortunately came to remind me of her, too. Eddie needs me to sing this one with him live. No one in the band can do the high bits. I still won't admit this song is about drugs.
A song that makes you want to fall in love.
Some of these questions, I can think of a limitless number, but some, I can think of nothing. I don't think a song could ever make me want to fall in love.
A song that breaks your heart.
There are a lot of songs that break my heart. This guy could qualify for the "voice I love" question below (he learned to sing between the first and second albums, and you can really tell)--great songwriter, too.
A song by an artist with a voice you love.
I could have shared so many here, but I learned a lot from listening to this guy sing (like, he actually knew how, unlike myself and pretty much everyone I listen to). Apparently they had a posthumous song on the Twilight soundtrack, like what? They were making the Twilight soundtrack and went back to like 2002 and bought one of their songs?
A song that you remember from your childhood.
I still fukkin' love dis shit...
And like 10,000 other songs that are so unpopular they won't be on YouTube, but I'll see if I can find any. I was really into the Ghostbusters soundtrack and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack. :)
Holy crap, they exist on YouTube!
These are the best ones of the 20 or so I had in mind. :P
A song that reminds you of yourself.
This might be the first song with vocals that I truly ever fell in love with. I started playing guitar a year or so later, writing songs, and trying to figure out how to sing. I also desperately wanted a black Guild jumbo guitar.
This could qualify for a lot of these categories, though. I didn't listen to it for 6 years, because I was afraid listening to it would make it come true.
