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!

Whistlin' past the graveyard by tom waits

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
