Why R.I.P. ???

[Lidge]

I should really stay out of this thread (considering the reaction to my early morning & now deleted Heath Ledger thread).

A couple of hours working on a script (A black comedy re: death. Imagine the Darwin Awards meets CSI) had me a few degrees off good taste.

Why R.I.P? Depends on your interpretation of the acronym.

Rock In Peace by AC/DC - their 1976 release may do it for TOD.

Rust in Peace was also an album by Megadeth, which I assume was crap.

Rohypnol in Pina Coladas probably cuts the mustard for Crazy Q

etc etc etc

Interesting.........Um, I'll leave it for someone else to rip into you Lidge

 

[DarwinRoo]

Thankyou. He was a Bombers supporter but we wont hold that against him.

Speaking of songs and R.I.P., I have a mate who wishes to have 'popcorn' as his funeral procession song. Classy. Any BF requests that you wish to document?

For the ex wife...Ding Dong, the witch is dead (from Wizard of Oz).

The baby elephant song would be a good one as I'm getting lowered into the turf.

Fiesta by The Pogues is a must as I'm getting lugged out of the church in a box.

And no doubt, Join in the Chorus will get an airing.

When I fall off the perch, it will be an upbeat affair. Reminds me, I should update my will and include these instructions.

You have it all planed out nicely don't you Lidge?

You know me so well, Lidge.

 

[CrazyQ]

Oh and Pharro and Darwin, I'm feeling for both of you.

Must suck.

Once had my brother "missing" for 2 weeks, no contact, no nothing, I shit you not, I could not go to sleep for any of that period.

This is when I didnt have a weed addiction, so that may be it.

The whole funeral process very much inline with the job interview process.
A cremation with ashes in matchbox thanks. Our childrens children need the room to live.
Oh, and play this from the Captain

Free To Run by Gomez.

The OC Soundtrack.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Nessum Dorma by Pavarotti or maybe Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.

 

[The Other Dean]

Free To Run by Gomez.

I'm still leaning towards Superchunk's "Slack Motherfcuker", Ride's "Vapour Trail", and They Might Be Giants' unsubtly titled ode to dying, "Dead".

The beauty of the latter being that I will be still manage to piss people off even in death.*


(*Scientific tests have proven that the music of They Might Be Giants irritates every one in two humans.)

We sent my brother off to the strains of The Angels singing "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?" live version complete with the requisite "no way, get ****ed, **** off" audience participation. I can report that it was the first time that song had been played at that particular chapel.

That would have been very funny.

Did the priest/celebrant join in?

Classic.

Puts a smile on my face picturing it. Condolences.

Ditto and condolence to Darwin as well.

Went to a friend's dear old dad's funeral last year and they played his fav song at the end "What's New Pussy Cat?" - Tom Jones version. Kodak moment for the looks on the "churchie" types face when it was cranked up.

I've heard of people who know they are not long meant for this earth and have their wake before they go - why should they miss out on a party is the attitude.

Pharro, I meant to ask you, what do you think those 3 young doggies did wrong on the track this week to find themselves at the funeral service with the coach?

The big fella was at the club when K went down there earlier in the week so he was the first one K spoke to. And apparently the skinny bloke and his parents were close to P. It was a surprise to the family that the coach fronted as he only knew our man in passing. Not sure what the link to the third pup was.

Do me a favour, if Dean Laidley turns up to my funeral, I want you to say, "MATE, THANKS FOR COMING BUT CAN YOU WATCH FROM WAY OVER THERE!"

Heh heh heh. I think he would appreciate that.

Various replies:

P.O.D. as a sentiment brings back too many bad memories of the shite band of the same name... but also good memories of Tenacious D's 'Pick Of Destiny'.

I watched the episode of The Simpsons the other day where Maude Flanders died... the T-shirts they handed out at the service... "Let her R.I.P."

My funeral music would have to be 'The Gonk'. The zombie afficianados out there would know what I mean, the tune is the music played ad nauseum in the mall in 'Dawn Of The Dead'.
