Indecision

•

Exactly 2,032 students were accepted to the class of 2016, and those who haven't already committed must make a decision tomorrow. While we here at Flyby know the choice is obvious, we offer this playlist to any prospective students still grappling with indecision.

"Should I Stay or Should I Go?" by The Clash

Apparently Joe Strummer has a tough choice to make, but the lyrics are the only clue that he's not enjoying the decision-making process. Getting caught between a rock and a hard place has never sounded this good.

"Dilemma" by Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland

A duet between two would-be lovers, separated only by Kelly Rowland's boyfriend. Neither of them knows what to do, but at least they make a smooth R&B track while they're doing it.

"Freedom of Choice" by Devo

Devo reminds us that indecision isn't always related to love—sometimes, it's a result of being confronted by the bewildering array of choices that come with our consumerist society.

"I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" by Tommy Hunt

Another track about romance—not every band can sing about capitalism—but it's just as stuttering and nervy as that last song. Since this one is written by Burt Bacharach, however, it's considerably more melodic.

"It's Now Or Never" by Elvis Presley

"Tomorrow will be too late," Elvis impatiently sings over a deceptively mellow beat. Who better than the King himself to remind you that the hour of judgment is approaching?
