    I expect lots of crying, so everybody hurts or something along that line justto help it along.
    Do they actually play songs at funerals over here? Is that not a foreign thing.

    Whitesnake's - "We wish you well"...

    I want them to play the internationale as they lower me into my grave. Just listen to it, an awesome song.

    echoes by pink floyd, i giggle to myself at the thought of people getting p'd off with me as they look at their watches and see that 20 minutes have passed and the song's still going.

    Yeah, it is kinda foreign but ya see it odd time in Ireland... 'Grace' was played when my uncle died...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    Free Bird or Disco Inferno, the latter woulfd be hilarious at a funeral, especially a cremation...."Burn baby burn, disssco inferrrno! Burn baby burn..." *funky bass line.

    My boyfriend wants Live forever by Oasis, I used to want no need to argue by the cranberries played at my funeral (I heard it in a film once during a funeral scene) but then I changed my mind because I think it's a bit too sad, I need to find a happier one :)

    Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield!!!



    Great song and great lyrics
    I stay
    I pray
    I see you in heaven far away
    I stay
    I pray
    I see you in heaven far away
    Far away on the other side.

    I don't think I'd be bothered choosing something clever or funny so I'd probably just like my favourite song played - Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks.

    I would prefer if there was no religious element to my funeral so that should be ok. However, in all likelyhood my family will take over and there will be lots of hymns.:(

    Either Highway to Hell or Party all day by Steel Panther. I will haunt my family if they hold it in a church or have any sort of religion in it.

    A while ago one of my friends father died. When they went to play his music the cd kept on skipping after about 10 seconds. It was horrible :(

    I don't know what it is about this song but it is my most favourite in the whole world:confused:

    I'm 36 and love all the new sh1t like n-dubz, lady gaga etc.......I adore Rod Stewart, U2,coldplay as well as tinie tempah, !!!!!!! Huge mix of everything and anything but this song is my all time favourite!!!

    Had a drink session one night and asked all my mates what song would they choose to listen to if they had 5 mins left to live and only 1 song to hear for the last time and this was mine.......considering my weird/varied song likes, they were all shocked and staring at me:D

    Can't explain it!! but adore it

    For me...it'd either be Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, or else this beauty.

    Glad no-one mentioned a Louis Walsh inspired group for their final song. Can you just picture it at your funeral, the ultimate insult having Westsh1t/Boyzone played as you are lowered into the grave or thrown into the furnace!

    Terminator theme-tune.





    With advances in modern science and my high level of income, I mean, it's not crazy to think I can't live forever. I just read in the newspaper they put a pig heart in some guy from Russian.
