Song to be played at Your funeral?

The count down theme tune. From when the clock is counting down. When it reachs zero they will chuck my coffin in the furnace. Or just my mangled corpse. I don't care, its all gonna burn.

As a DJ I was asked to put a play list together for a biker’s funeral a number of years ago. Tracks that were requested included Sympathy for the Devil, (Stones), Electric Funeral (Ozzy Ozbourne), Breaking the law (Priest) and Poison (Alice Cooper). There was no church service; the music was played in the background in the funeral home and crematorium. There was no religious service. It is one thing I would not do again.

Le Moribond by Jacques Brel. And for the times we live in Sixteen Tons by Merle Travis. Never had anything to do with mining but it's such a great song about the basic caracter of society.

Others io would like would be either

Mine is written into my decree which must be read before my funeral. My best friend (provided she doesn't die first has the details).

For me it's Bat out of Hell' Meatloaf.

It's not because I am a rocker, because I am not, it's mostly becuase, I refuse to leave without a roar.

Rammstein - Ein Lied
Nirvana - All Apologies

Or as mentioned previously

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have you ever seen the rain?

As a funny one, I would love to see a rickroll

Half of the people would have confused looks, while the other half would be face+palm (and perhaps 1 or 2 giggling).

'Run to da hills' mentioned being a DJ for a biker funeral where there was no service or religous attachment. Im willing to bet this will become the norm in about 20 years and I plan to have a similar event for mine. That will mean all my favourite songs as well as the above will most likely be played.
