Elton John has re-written "Candle in the wind" in the event of my untimely demise.

lezizi · 30-01-2008 10:53pm

Leaving on a jet plane, no seriously Don't Cry Guns n Roses.

30-01-2008 10:59pm

I like the Joe Dolce idea. But perhaps Monty Python's "The Bright Side of Life"

Crazy Christ · 30-01-2008 11:00pm

probably something from Chas and Dave

30-01-2008 11:03pm

Actually, best song ever would be the Hokey Cokey - "..They put the right foot in, the right foot out.."

30-01-2008 11:05pm

The last time I saw one of these threads. One of the posters had been killed within a few months.
Touch wood ye all.

That would be so class. If I was going to have a funeral I'd want that played.

Mushy · 30-01-2008 11:08pm

Would have to be something by QOTSA for me. Better Living Through Chemistry being my favourite, so would have to be up there. Song for the Dead may be suitable. Either of those.

Smack my Bitch up by the Prodigy

The local choir has some fancy classic singer that does the Christmas mass and funerals, she would nearly put people to tears with her singing. I'd have her singing some song that gets really somber. At the end have that screaming ghost thing from those stupid power point and java games burst in.

keen · 30-01-2008 11:32pm

Fire by Jimi Hendrx while being cremated.

Stargal · 30-01-2008 11:36pm

Johnny Cash - We'll Meet Again. All of his family join in on the final chorus and I swear to god, there wouldn't be a dry eye in the place after that.

If not that then maybe Whipping Boy - When We Were Young or Nick Cave - Into My Arms.

Mr_Roger_Bongos · 30-01-2008 11:44pm

This thread came up a while back and someone suggested this -

Song starts at 24 seconds!

I think it's called "the breakfast machine" by Danny Elfman.

Imagine the look on their faces

It'd be grief mixed with complete and utter confusion. Probably hushed whispers of 'are they playing the wrong song?' etc. Hilarious!!

I'd probably have that song 'Dont you forget about me' like they played in the end of that family guy episode where peter poses as a kid in meg's school.

Yes, and the played the song at his funeral.
Then the board made a forum out his posts for his family.

Slidey · 31-01-2008 12:19am

Have to be Glen Hansards version of Britneys Hit Me Baby One More Time.... not a dry eye in the house...

Neil young's "my my, hey hey (out of the blue)" or "Hey hey,my my (into the black).

I'd try to come up with something funny, but I don't think I can beat basquille's.

Would have to be AC/DC - Highway to Hell

phasers · 31-01-2008 5:55am

there will be no music, it is a time to mourn the loss of a great citizen, not some crazy German discotheque

Dammit! You beat me to it! Now I'm gonna have to go with the Macerena! They will try to resist it, but you know they all will end up doing the dance by the end!

Damn it YOU beat me to The Macarena

Anyway serious answer: Mazzy Star: Fade into You. Dunno why exactly- something about Hope Sandoval's ethereal voice - irresistible.

Sorry, but if anyone is gonna get a church full of people to do the dance then I call dibs!

Serious answer, Halleliuah by Jeff Buckley, the most amazing song ever recorded
as far as I know.

Whenever one of these threads comes up, loads of people always vote for AC/DC's Highway to Hell. Not a bad choice, but the real AC/DC fans who really want to shock all the gathered mourners would vote for Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be. It's awesome.

I used to think about this subject all the time, and I had my hear set on Good Morning by the Dandy Warhols. These days, I might go with something by Sigur Ros, maybe Sorgolopur (or whatever it's called) off Takk, or the last track on ( ).
Who'll Stop The Rain by Creedence was a great choice too.

Actually, I have it! In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin! It's my favourite Zeppelin song, and it is about the very subject. It would have people rocking in the aisles and playing air-drums, as it is the track that features Bonham's best work, in my opinion.
