Funeral Song

[Ahhh Moneypenny]

Not sure if this has been done before and can't be spaffed to look.

So what song would you have at your funeral? A song that somes up your life? One to make people blub (more), one to raise a smile?

My dad wants 'another one bites the dust' by Queen, I told him he is a sicko but it would raise a smile am sure.

I would have either:
Nothing else matters - Metallica
Or
obla di obla da - Beatles

[G_T]

During my cremation I'd like Johnny Cash "Ring of fire".

But failing that Pink floyd "Shine on you crazy diamond". Make the bds sit there for 15 minutes.

[Evil Jack]

Stayin' Alive

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

I would have " Gonna Fly now" aka theme from rocky as they carry me from the church.....

[WorAl]

Its the end of the world by REM is getting played at my big day

[Twincam16]

'Where Were You?' by Jeff Beck.

Or possibly 'Stairway To Heaven' by Led Zeppelin, the whole lot playing underneath the service, with the moment the coffin disappears into the furnace timed to coincide with the heavier guitar and Robert Plant singing 'And as we wind on down that road/Our shadows taller than our souls'.

[carmadgaz]

Always wanted 'Alive' by Pearl Jam for the irony..... or Highway to Hell

[Nobody You Know]

Deeper Underground - Jamiriqui

[Jgtv]

The prodigy Charlie Says, not for any real reason just to make it a little diffrent.

Failing that the usual Going Underground, Living in a Box, I wish I could fly(Orvil the Duck), This is the End,

[Dibble]

Mate of mine is having "Hit me with your rhythm stick" by Ian Dury.

I'm having "Should I stay or should I go" by The Clash.

[Tony*T3]

Con te partirò (Time to say Goodbye) by Andrea Bocelli. (not the Brightman version)

[Sleekitman]

"Knock Three Times"

Just in case I was only sleeping.

A colleague of mine was at a funeral recently where The Birdie Song was played as his coffin disappeared.

I bet nobody shed a tear at that funeral.

When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease -- Roy Harper

[crofty1984]

Consideration by Reef.

Can't think of a better song to bow out to.

The other option was Promises by Megadeth. But Reef wins by a mile. Do you think it'll wierd out my parents if I mention it? I'm 24 and not due to pop my clogs for at least 5 years or so.

[Sciroccology]

"Death Of A Clown" by The Kinks.

"Tears You Can't Hide" by Madness.

"Old Red Eyes Is Back" or "One Last Love Song" by The Beautiful South.
