Rules: Set your itunes or other media player on shuffle. For each number click next, and write that song down as the answer. Don't cheat! You must write that song down no matter what! The answers don't always work, but they're almost always amusing.
Post and enjoy!
Stablergirl notes - ok so I stole this basic premise from a facebook app, and I know it's usually a fortune teller about YOU, but I thought it would be fun to apply it to our favorite characters! I came up with thirty questions and pulled up my itunes and here we go. Try it, it's fun. Feel free to steal these questions and hit up your own itunes to see what happens. Also, I like to find a quote from the song that I think applies, but you don't have to do that if you don't want. Enjoy!!
1. This song best describes the group of friends on HIMYM.
"Epiphany." - Altar Boyz
"I look into your eyes and I see the pain you hold inside. Aren't you tired of the lies you tell so you can hide?"
2. This song describes how Lily feels after a day of work.
"Greensleeves" - Loreena McKennitt
3. If a song could adequately describe Barney’s suits, this would be it.
Loch Lommond - John McDermott
"The broken-hearted ken nae second spring again, and the world knows not how we are grieving" (he would definitely grieve over his suits if he lost them)
4. This is how Robin feels about Canada.
Kiss Me, Part II - Sweeney Todd
(so Canada is the boy who will save her for the adopted father who wants to marry her? excellent)
5. If the booth at MacLaren’s could talk, this is what it would say.
Halloween- RENT (oddly enough, my bootleg of NPH as Mark is the version that played. Trippy)
"Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door? And Collins choose that phone booth back where Angel set up his drums? Why did Maureen's equipment break down? Why am I the witness?"
6. This song best describes how Ted feels about Marshall.
Cop Song - Urinetown
7. If Robin Scherbatsky were the star of her own show, this would be the theme song.

"Once upon a time, I had tides to control, I had moons to spin and stars to ignite."
8. The yellow umbrella has something to sing, and it’s this song.
Overturn/Work Song - Les Miserables
"I know she'll wait, I know that she'll be true" ( that is one optimistic umbrella)
9. This song describes how Barney feels about Shannon.
All I Ask of You Reprise - Phantom of the Opera (Broadway)
"I gave you my music, made your song take wing. And now how you've repaid me. Denied me and betrayed me."
10. This song describes how Barney feels about Robin.
What You Own - Rent
"What was it about that night? Connection in an isolating age. For once the shadows gave way to light, for once I didn't disengage." (hmm, surprisingly apt)
11. When Marshall looks at Lily, he feels like this.
I'm Gonna Make You Love Me- The Jayhawks

14. This is Marshall’s idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon.
Out Tonight - Rent
"What's the time? Well, it's gotta be close to midnight. My body's talking to me, it says 'time for danger'" (anyone else getting awful mental imagery of Marshall as a stripper?)
15. This is Lily’s unreachable dream.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Celtic Woman
16. Ted and The Mom are going to dance to this song at their wedding.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Theme
Aha! So Ted marries Buffy. Problem solved. They do cast an awful lot of Joss' people in this show...maybe that's a hint?
17. If Barney met God, this is what Barney would say.
Giving Up on You- Lara Fabian
"After all we have been though, I can only look at you through the eyes you lied to. I'm giving up, I'm giving up, I'm giving up on you." (yikes)
18. This is the drinking philosophy of our five favorite bar flies.
It Just Wasn't Meant to Happen- NPH (blanking on what show it's from right now...)
"There won't be a happy ending, can't fight with destiny, there's just no more use pretending that happy ending will come to me. It just wasn't meant to happen, just wasn't meant to happen." (the drinking is apparently not going to end well for everyone involved...)
19. This song is what Barney thought of Ted when they met for the first time.
I'm Not Afraid of Anything- Songs for a New World
"I'm not afraid of anyone. I am sure to win with anyone at all. I'm not afraid of anyone, not a soul alive can get behind this wall. So, let them call, and watch them fall. Cause after all, I'm not afraid" (little does he know he's just met his best friend...makes you wonder about how lonely Barney was before meeting Ted...)
20. These will be Robin’s dying words.

23. When a stranger meets Lily, this is what they might think of her.
What a Mess- SR-71
"I confess, it's all true. I'm a mess, what a fool. Now, what do I do?" (sorry, is that some of my Lily-dislike coming out? Oh, well)
24. This is what Ted would shout from the mountain tops.

La Vie Boheme- Rent
"To being an us, for once, instead of a them"
26. When playing laser tag, Barney feels like this.
Castle on a Cloud - Les Miserables
"There is a room that's full of toys. There are a hundred boys and girls, nobody shouts or talks too loud. Not in my castle on a cloud" (so he uses laser tag to deal with his childhood issues. Yeah, saw that one coming. Also, Barney is apparently an 8 year old girl. Hah.)
27. When smoking a cigar, Robin feels like this.
Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benetar
"We are young, heartache to heartache we stand. Not promises, no demands. We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong." (wonder who she's thinking about...?)
28. 9 out of 10 times, when Marshall goes to the jukebox he plays this song.
Even Angels Fall- Vanessa Carleton
"You found hope, you found faith. Found how fast she could take it away. Found true love, but lost your heart. Now you don;t know who you are."
29. If Ted had a video resume, this would be the song playing in the background.
Take Me or Leave Me- Rent
"And if you give a damn, take me, baby, or leave me" (rather informal for applying for jobs, but the sentiments are about right.)
