Only one...

[Elegant]

You are stranded on a deserted island. At the same time you wonder how on earth you got there, a genie appears from a golden lamp lying in front of you on the sand. He speaks - Welcome to your new island home (as he points to the left and you see a nice/cozy/small cottage on the beach)! As long as you live here you will always have fresh water (as he points to a natural fountain - you don't know where that came from, but you are happy it is there), a restroom (another tiny building to your right), and shelter.

You're thinking to yourself - what's the catch...

The genie says, "There's a catch

," you may only:

1. Eat one thing
2. Watch one movie
3. Hear one song

Knowing that there isn't any food on the island or in the ocean around you...your choices are?
