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!!

qz · 25-09-2005 9:36pm

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

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

LadyJ · 25-09-2005 9:40pm

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

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

Matthewthebig · 25-09-2005 9:40pm

"die, die my darling"

Ruska by apocalyptica aswell, nice instrumental.

Whats new pussycat - tom jones

Kernel · 26-09-2005 1:41am

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 3:42am

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 6:11am

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.

deisedevil · 26-09-2005 7:39am

Jimmy Eat World ---- Hear Me Now.

Rhyme · 26-09-2005 8:08am

"Hoi've got a lovely bunch o' coconuts"

"Sit On My Face"

...maybe

impr0v · 26-09-2005 11:12am

After making it a condition that nobody consults the priest, I'd have to go with 'Heresy' by Nine Inch Nails. It would be a funeral to remember.

Draupnir · 26-09-2005 12:34pm

Queen - "Dont stop me now"

Femelade · 26-09-2005 1:56pm

the scientist - coldplay

Lynrd Skynrd - Freebird (the 16min version, really loudly

)

-Roy

Binomate · 26-09-2005 2:58pm

Disco Inferno, whilst being cremated.

azezil · 26-09-2005 4:15pm

The birdy song, and I'll put it in my will that the priest must do the dance.

You realise you just gave an awful lot of people a reason to kill you Azezil?

That's just so funny that it'd be worth ten to life!

26-09-2005 5:26pm

Whistlin' past the graveyard by tom waits

LadyJ · 26-09-2005 5:33pm

I know I've given two already but I'd also like "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head" and "Heaven is a half-pipe". Maybe some Star trek music for the laugh.

frodi · 26-09-2005 5:39pm

Goin' nowhere fast by Fire Inc (from the film streets of fire)

Also somebody to jump up and shout "Frying tonight" as they take what's left of me to the crematorium.

CathyMoran · 26-09-2005 7:59pm

I would like it if my loved ones laughed during my funeral so the two songs would be great:
Always look on the bright side of life - Monthy Python
The Universe Song - Monthy Python

In reality I would love Gregorian chant.

scuba steve · 26-09-2005 8:40pm

This :cool:

Kernel · 28-09-2005 7:53pm

See this is why music at funerals is a bad idea. People wanting to listen to rap or heavy metal songs... **** that... If I was at a funeral and that kind of music came on, I would be like .... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And guaranteed, the current fad song you think you'd like now will be a lot different to one when you are 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 etc.. years of age.

LadyJ · 28-09-2005 8:04pm

I was at a funeral once and the guy had committed suicide. There was some holy songs on a tape being played before the mass started but the tape cut and blasted out "Celebrate good times,come on!"

It was hilarious! I dunno how they could have let it happen but I laughed so much that I cried so it was all good.

Pighead · 28-09-2005 8:12pm

The Next Life by Suede and then The man don't give a FCUK by Super Furry Animals to get the crowd rocking again.I'd be grateful if 3 or 4 of the boardsters here could dress up as yeis and jump on my coffin while the song is playing.Cheers
