The Doorstep Challenge

This is genius - and very telling I think!

The Rules: Take 20 fairly standard and innocuous questions and answer them with music lyrics.

1.) Are you male or female?

This is a woman's world. This is my world. This is a woman's world
For this man's girl. There ain't a woman in this world, Not a woman or a little girl, That can't deliver love In a man's world. Woman - Neneh Cherry


2.) Who are you?

She keeps her Moet et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Killer Queen - Queen

When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what's my pleasure A movie or a measure? I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free 'Dreaming' by Blondie


3.) Describe your neighbourhood:

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat Went to the Apollo You should've seen em go go go They said, Hey shuga Take a walk on the wild side I Said, Hey babe Take a walk on the wild side All right, huh Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed


4.) How do you look?

Oh, won't you take me home tonight (please) All down beside your red firelight Oh, you gonna let it all hang out Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt. It is so big. *scoff* She looks like, one of those rap guys' girlfriends. But, y'know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff* They only talk to her, because, she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay? I mean, her butt, is just so big. *scoff* I can't believe it's just so round, it's like, out there, I mean - gross. Look! She's just so ... black!
Baby Got Back - Sir Mix a Lot


5.) What is love?

What is love Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more What is love Yeah Oh I don't know why you're not fairI give you my love but you don't care So what is right and what is wrong gimme a sign What Is Love Lyrics - Haddaway

6.) If you could say one thing to the person you love, what would it be?

It could all be so simple But you'd rather make it hard Loving you is like a battle And we both end up with scars Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity No one loves you more than me And no one ever will Lauryn Hill Ex Factor

8.) Are you strong?

But now I'm stronger than yesterday Now it's nothin' but my way My loneliness ain't killin' me no more I am stronger Than I felt that I could ever be (baby) I used to go with the flow
