Funeral fun

What two songs would you like to have played at your funeral?

I've asked for two Stones classics, 'Hey You! Get Offa My Cloud' and 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

That covers both places if they exist!!

"Highway to Hell"
"I Will Survive"
"Ha Ha, You're Dead" - (Green Day)

I know you said two, but I can't count.

I want everyone to mime along to "Gold". That'd be a laugh!

Also,"R.E.S.P.E.C.T."

Whats new pussycat - tom jones

Wagner's Funeral March ... appropriately... Or Beethoven's masterpiece Moonlight Sonata.

Nah, I don't like the new trend of music at funerals, just imagine in the future people playing Backstreet Boys and Britney etc... no thanks. Plus, a lot of the songs just make people sadder than they already are (not that anyone will when I go.. lol!).

BlitzKrieg · 26-09-2005 4:42am

Depends.

As it currently stands, if i die suddenly for any reason. Then my friends know i want 'Under Pressure' by Queen and 'Only in Dreams' by Weezer.

But if i reach near enough the retirement age.
i'll take a page from one of my all time favourite films...*All that Jazz*

I'll shoot a short music video to Under Pressure and have it played at my funeral. with all the bangs and whistles all that jazz had.

monkeyfudge · 26-09-2005 7:11am

Dust in the Wind by Kanas would be a good one.

But I agree with Kernal... this whole music at funerals is a silly thing. It's bad enough that I have to sit through someones boring funeral, I really don't want to listen to their dodgy record collection as well.
