Bagpipes,bagpipes everywhere.
Makes me cry so now everyone else will have to suffer.

And maybe some Johnny Cash or The Cranberries.

Edit: This,definately this.

Loving the Sinatra videos in this thread. Amazing how his songs suit a thread like this.

I've always said I wanted For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica played at my funeral, but I doubt that will happen because it's sort of in bad taste. Having said that at my Grandda's funeral Smoke Gets In Your Eyes was played in the crematorium and everyone was in knots of laughter.

best.

Can't beat his voice. He has a lot of great songs.

I'd pick this though, but I'd only want a song played if a really really good sound system was used.
