I am doing an actual meme! And in a minute I'm gonna do another one! (Different memes in the same post is too crowded for my tastes. Your friendslist will be okay.)

karaokegal, it's the MP3 Zombie Apocalypse!
1. Take out your iPod, or your mp3 playing device. Put it on shuffle play.
2. You have to decide if each song is a positive one in terms of survival (songs like Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" or anything that directly references survival, escape or something like that counts double, even something by Survivor, but I reserve the right to laugh at you), or a negative one in terms of survival (Songs by the Zombies, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, about zombies or death or whatnot count double); if you really can't judge the song, just take it as a pass and it does nothing either way for your chances for survival—remember this is entirely up to you to judge.
3. Keep going until you get five songs one way or the other. Five surviving songs means you lived. Five not-surviving songs means you food.
Adding my own rule here: Broadway musical songs don't count. They already have way too much context attached to them, and I have way too many of them to want to subject you all to five hundred passes.
* Naturally, the very first song I get is The Cranberries' "Zombie." Because my MP3 player wants me to die.
Zombies: 2
Me: 0
* "What's Left of the Flag," Flogging Molly
oh my god
what have they done
with mad man's rage
well they dug our graves
but the dead rise again you fools
*facepalm* What did I ever do to you, anyway, o Zen Nano?
Zombies: 3
Me: 0
* "Bound for the Floor," Local H
And you just don't get it
You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You're just so pathetic
Well, at least I won't go to my doom making a lot of excess noise.
Zombies: 4
Me: 0
* Coin Operated Boy," the Dresden Dolls
Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more?
Excellent! A decoy to distract the zombies while I make my getaway!
Zombies: 4
Me: 1
* "Wild Rover," the Dropkick Murphys
A song about a drunken lush who is going to reform. Really. Any day now. Meanwhile, he obviously knows all the good pubs to hide in, since Shaun and company already have the Winchester.
Zombies: 4
Me: 2
* "Torre de Babel," David Bisbal
Dunno. It's in Spanish and it's been a while since I've read the translation, and my own Spanish isn't good enough to get most of the lyrics. I mention it because it is an awesome song and if you look it up on YouTube, you will get to see a delightfully cracky video that involves unironic use of breakdancing during the current millennium.
Zombies: 4
Me: 2, and re-energized by Bisbal's intense earnestness
* "(Don't Fear) the Reaper," Blue Oyster Cult
. . .
That's it, I'm getting a damn iPod. Oh, no, wait, I'm not, becauseiPods suck I AM DED FROM ZOMBIE.
Zombies: OM NOM NOM
Me: *ded*
