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.:(

Whatever is number 1 in 3010.

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

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

Beautiful, flew over to England in June to go see him. Amazing!

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

But then again I could come up with a million songs

Risteard · 30-07-2010 11:45PM

As always with these threads I will repeat my answer. A Tout Le Monde - Megadeth.

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.

MmmmmCheese · 31-07-2010 12:22AM

Any of these:

Time of your life- Greenday
To live is to die- Metallica
Nothing else matters- Metallica
Run- Snow Patrol
Everybody hurts- REM

But preferably:

Here comes the sun- The Beatles

Now I'm feeling very morbid!

Cool Running · 31-07-2010 12:23AM

Has to be this song

QuiteInterestin · 31-07-2010 12:27AM

If it were right now, I think I'd like the song Welcome home by the Radical Face. The lyrics probably aren't that relevant but I really like the song. It's the song from the Nikon camera ad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLzGlRWBW38

For the laugh, think I'd go for Thirteenth Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me -;)

With the state off my health I would guess going to the great gig in the sky some time in the not distant future is a depressing possibility and I fully expect to get the job on bass up their.
Mean time down here every one would expect 'my chemical romance- welcome to the...' but I have the last laugh by having my secret crush blare out 'in my dreams' by Tally Korenhttp://youtu.be/ObVYm1BJaGE

RobFowl · 31-07-2010 12:34AM

But this is what I'd really like ....

this.
When I have fell in love in the past this felt like the raw real me.
Its the only song I can think of that really, really resonates with me and who I am.

What song would you like played at your funeral?
