Funeral Song?

[Binxy]

Cheery I know, but what song would you choose to play at your funeral?

 

[Roddy]

My all time favourite song, The Spirit of Radio by Rush. Not very 'funerall-y' at all, and for no other reason other than it being my all time fave....

 

[legitimatic]

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd or Novemeber Rain by the Gunners.

 

[skilts]

'Funeral for a Friend' by Elton John. Failing that, 'Funeral March for Marionette', by Gounod - the theme music from the 'Alfred Hichcock Presents' TV series of the 50s.

 

[G.O.B]

Postmortem - Slayer
For no other reason than to make people cry. Or throw up.....whatever.

 

[Val Venis]

November Rain or Bittersweet Symphony...Probably the former

 

[Minkus_Swan]

I'd like a mixture of technical death and symphonic black metal songs to ease people into Green Carnation's 60 minute epic song/album- Light of Day, Day of Darkness.

 

[exe ex machina]

The Final Countdown by Europe

 

[bradrowe#32]

'Exit Music (For A Film)' by Radiohead.

The music is great (especially that fuzzy guitar bit) and the lyrics are good, and it gives a bit of f-you to everyone at the funeral - 'we hope, that you choke'.

 

[evo]

I plan on being cremated.

The Doors -Light my Fire would seem apt(at least in title)

 

[metallicamatty]

Megadeth - Rust In Peace

OR: AC/DC - Highway to Hell

 

[exe ex machina]

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Pfft, you wish! Face it, you're going to Heaven for far too many good deeds in your life. Gonna live it up on Heaven's porch with all the grandmamas and grandpapas.

Get back to me when you're evil.

 

[SorryIHammerChicken]

Pearl Jam - Alive

 

[metallicamatty]

Pfft, you wish! Face it, you're going to Heaven for far too many good deeds in your life. Gonna live it up on Heaven's porch with all the grandmamas and grandpapas.

Get back to me when you're evil.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The Benny Hill theme. Mourners have to chase each other up and down the aisles and someone should knock over the casket. And then later they can play a video of it in fast motion. It should win Australia's Funniest Home Videos which willbe a comfort to my grieving family.

Or, if I'm being serious, Psychopomp by the Tea Party.

 

[heyhey]

another one bites the dust

 

[m.diddy]

Eminem - Without me.

 

[Contra Mundum]

Jesus is Waiting - the Very Reverend Al Green

 

[Hawkers]

Dress Sexy at my Funeral - The Smog

or

I Feel Good - James Brown

 

[Mr Eagle]

The Long Road - Nusrat Khan and Eddie Vedder


(with Always Look on the Bright Side of Life at the end, of course.)

 

[Binxy]

"When You're Smiling" by Louis Prima

 

[Captain Sensible]

I'm going to live forever.

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

I can actually answer this with the actual songs iv'e chosen.

Iv'e told my family what i want should i ever kark it.

As people enter the church it will be "House of Fun" by Madness.

During the service it will be the Carlton theme song.

And as the coffin leaves the building it will be to "Time to go" by Supergrass.

"Thanks to everyone for everything you've done but now it's time to go.
You know it's hard, we've had some fun but now we're almost done it's time to go,
Who could ask for more?"

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Black - Pearl Jam

 

[Hot Spenny]

Asleep - The Smiths
If You See Her Say Hello - Bob Dylan
