    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 :D

    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 :p 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.

    what a lovely thread to start my morning

    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.
