    So apparently the song that most describes the person I "love" is "Du Hast" (it means I Hate, in German).

    Nice. The first 4 were right. The next 7 were laughably wrong though, but it was fairly impressive none the less.

    Human minds are a little funny, I think if you ask people to randomly pick a number between 1 and 5 50% of the time they will choose 3...or something like that.

    Of course the whole wish business is complete rubbish and it is more guess work than science, but whoever wrote it, did a pretty good job.

    Apparently the song which most describes my mind is 'under pressure' - not so bad.

    And for my life - Jesus of surburbia - was listening to it at the time - that is a bit err...

    couple things it was also right on, but I fail to see how it would always be so. Good fun though.

    Apparently the song that describes the relationship I have with a person I like is Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" (hey, I'm a fan of Classical Music ), which is pretty suiting, since the girl I like is Spanish

    OK, if Solypsist declines I'll ask the question: who's a sucker?

    Freaky, ok but somewhat explainable. Do you want me to try and explain it?
    Tell me if you do.

    So, the song that tells more about me is Dylans "Things have changed" and the one about how do I see life is Metallica's "I disappear".....hmmm.... Curious to say the least....

    Well, the Barnum effect (see my link above) works only when the description is vague and general. That applies to all songs, because the lyrics (or any part of them that you wish to isolate) can be interpreted as (a) being said by you, (b) being said about you, (c) being said by others about a third party that is important to you, (d) reflecting your general outlook on life, not on anything or anyone specific. The same goes for the persons whose names you fill into the form. Horoscopes draw huge crowds every day with this same principle. Goes to show that people don't need stars and planets to fool themselves, they can do it single-handed on a little scrap of paper.

    Yea, I'm a party-pooper, I'll shut up now!

    I doubt passing this along to 7 people will heal my toe (which is what I wished, as currently it is injured).

    Interesting nonetheless...perhaps the internet fairy will come and heal my toe after I tell some people.

    Thats frighteningly accurate.

    Song that describes me best is Stairway to heaven.
    The song that describes my outlook on life is God Save the Queen.:D The sex pistols version.

    Ermm, no. what you mean would be Du hasst. "Du Hast" means "you have". It´s a song about marriage. It´s still strange that it should describe the person you love.
