Love, peace, and the devil

Here is some time-wasting nonsense about the song titles on my iPod:

Out of 3,410 current songs:
  • 92 titles contain the word love -- e.g., "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order; "Love is No Big Truth" by Kings of Convenience; "Love Spreads" by Stone Roses
  • 3 contain hate -- e.g., "Drop the Hate" by Fatboy Slim
  • 4 titles contain the word peace -- e.g., "Give Peace a Chance" by John Lennon
  • 8 contain war -- e.g., "Details of the War" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
  • 23 titles contain the word life -- e.g., "Life in a Glasshouse" by Radiohead; "Breath of Life" by Erasure
  • 7 contain death -- e.g., "Death at One's Elbow" by The Smiths
  • 7 titles contain the word happy -- e.g., "Violently Happy" by Bjork
  • 6 contain sad -- e.g., "Sad Professor" by R.E.M.
  • 16 titles contain the word God (or gods) -- e.g., "God's Silence" by Eels; "In God's Country" by U2
  • 6 contain Jesus -- e.g., "Jesus on the Radio" by Guster; "Jesus Hairdo" by Charlatans UK
  • 4 contain devil -- e.g., "In the Devil's Territory" by Sufjan Stevens
  • 9 titles contain swear words:
    • 1 bitch -- "Son of a Bitch" by Eels
    • 3 shits -- "Old Shit/New Shit" by Eels; "World of Shit" Eels; "The Face that Launched 1000 Shits" by Death Cab for Cutie
    • 5 fucks - "Fuck Up Beats" by The Chemical Brothers; "Fuck You (An Ode to No One)" by Smashing Pumpkins; "Fucking in Heaven" by Fatboy Slim; "It's a Motherfucker" by Eels; "Silverfuck" by Smashing Pumpkins
Way to go, Eels!

It's clear you are going to have some sort of war out of love, but you will be happy about it. Oh, and you feel that christ came back to life. He's magic.

Hmmm... Apparently "Fucker" is not on my iPod. I have it on my iTunes, but I guess it did not get loaded to the iPod.

157 loves, 16 of which are beatles tracks.
