Funeral songs

Perhaps not the cheeriest of discussions but interesting none the less... if you could have one song played at your funeral, what would it be? Mine would be Time of your life (good riddance) by Greenday x

already have this set up
Metallica - To Live is to Die

My Brother wants Skynard - Freebird

What can i say he is a biker

my best friend wants 'im dying tomorrow' by alkaline trio

Madness - One Step Beyond!



Seriously though? The Mr. T Experience - big strange beautiful hammer. (And One Step Beyond, too. Why not!)

Don’t you laugh as a hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet
Then they put you in a box
And cover you with dirt and rocks
All goes well for about a week
Then your coffin begins to leak
The worms crawl in and then worms crawl out
In between your toes and in your snout
So don’t you laugh as a hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die

I will seriously walk out of any funeral where they play that song.

My funeral will have happy music. Starting with AC/DC "Highway to Hell".


"My friends are gonna be there too..."

Either:

Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia - Holomovement

or

Pretty Girls Make Graves - This is Our Emergency

the curse of the hearse- by terry teene.

One More Hour - Sleater Kinney

beautiful peace- the murmurs

Songs: Ohia "Blue Factory Flame"

"Bittersweet Symphony" - Verve

Natacha Atlas - Adam's Lullaby

or Slowdive - Albatross

Chopin - Funeral March

that was a no brainer.

Nick Cave- Death Is Not The End

(Then I lurch out of the flames)

Three Mustaphas Three - Aj Zajdi Zajdi Jasno Sonce.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Though I ought to get it translated first - it's in Macedonian, and for all I know it's about having carnal relations with a goat

Great choice.

Carly Simon - Nobody does it better

"......And nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, baby, baby you’re the best!"

Going down to die by Danzig. Then I'd have something off the first Mr. Bungle album to annoy my friends.

Alice In Chains - Don't Follow

Are you old enough to be on SG?

i think mine whoudl be

F# a# oo xxx

ever freeking minite of it

you know, cos its quite uplifting and that

i'll take the ship song, by nick cave

and the decline by nofx.

I have thought about this quite a bit.... maybe I'm just a bit morbid sometimes but I thought that I had it all figured out but now that I think about it some more I don't want anyone to be sad when I go so....

"No One Lives Forever" by Oingo Boingo

You worry too much / you make yourself sad
You can’t change fate / but don’t feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / it’s just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!

Let’s have a party there’s a full moon in the sky
It’s the hour of the wolf and I don’t want to die

I’m so happy dancing while the grim reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can’t get me (I’m as)
Clever as can be, and I’m very quick, but don’t forget
No one lives forever!!!

You think you got it rough / what about your darling doggy?
Ten short years / and he’s getting old and groggy
I don’t think it’s very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it’s all relative my friend ’cause
No one lives forever!!!
Let’s have a party there’s a full moon in the sky
It’s the hour of the wolf and i
Don’t want to die (but) . . .

No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there’s no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
’cause any second it may end.
And when it’s all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust (’cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one . . . . . . . (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (hey!)
