What Song Do You Want Played At Your Funeral?

[Jai Dee]

Yeah I know this might sound morbid but it just occured to me this would be a great way to find some new great songs.

Obviously you're gonna pick the best song you know... so what song do you want played at your funeral?

[Soph]

The Jam - Going Underground

[lampard10]

Zippedee doo dah Zippedee day

[BambinA]

Bohemian Rhapsody - QUEEN

[daveb1]

goodbye my lover by james blunt, amazing emotional song from his current album

give it a listen!

[zaz]

Twinkle twinkle little star....

[Gazza]

'I Feel Good' by James Brown Jing Jing.

And for an epitaph, something witty comparable to the Late Spike Milligan.

"I want a second opinion" or "I told you I was sick"

:D

Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini - Timmy Mallet version.

But seriously, perhaps something by The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers or maybe Oasis - Talk Tonight. Guess it depends on how I eventually snuff it.

[lovejoy]

i just want a faint sobbing sound to be played trough the whole service

[Old Croc]

" Run to Paradise" The Choirboys

"Stone Cold" Jimmy Barnes

"Down Under" Men at Work

[Khutan]

I honestly want some bagpipes playing Amazing Grace.

Failing that "Nobody's Fault but mine" - the unleaded version by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page will do fine.

[Pablo H]

That song from Midnight Cowboy, Willie Nelson I think, Everybodys Talkin' at me.

[Pablo H]

If it was going to be Led Zep surely Stairway to Heaven woulld me more apt, then again........maybe not.

[autonomous_unit]

it's a tough call, but right now I'd lean towards Mr. Bungle, "None of Them Knew They Were Robots"

[wolf5370]

"We're all going down to the bone yard" - Little Angels

"Knocking on heaven's door" - GnR

Anything by Livining in a Box, perhaps?

In all honesty I would have "Tears in heaven" - Eric Clapton. Always brings a lump. ("Honey" is good too for a cry - can't remember who its by though - goes "...and Darling I miss you, I'm being goooood, I long to be with you, If only I could...") There it goes - sniff

[sadman]

"Honey" is good too for a cry - can't remember who its by though

It's by Bobby Goldsboro.

Don't want anything sad - have a good time and get on the massive p1ss afterwards.

(I feel it's best to say this, in case no-one gives a monkey's when I die anyway).

Pearl Jam - Alive:

I, I’m still alive

Hey i, but, I’m still alive

Hey i, boy, I’m still alive

Hey i, i, i, I’m still alive, yeah

Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...

[mrbojangles]

The Jam - Going Underground 

Anything by Livining in a Box, perhaps?

Nice one's Soph and Wolf Or maybe something by The Velvet Underground

Seriously, maybe something like "My Way" - Frank Sinatra

My Way

words: Paul Anka

music: J. Revaux and C. Francois

performed by: Frank Sinatra

And now the end is near

and so I face the final curtain

my friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case

of which I'm certain

I've lived a life thats full

I traveld each and every highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few

but then again too few to mention

I did what i had to do

and saw it through without exemption.

I've planned each charted course

each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, there were times

I'm sure you knew

when I bit of, more than I could chew

but through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all

And I stood tall

And did it my way.

I've loved, Ive laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say "Not in a shy way"

Oh no, oh no not me

I did it my way.

For what is a man

what has he got

If not himself then he has not

To say the things he truley feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it - MY WAY!

Says it all really

[sadman]

Seriously, maybe something like "My Way" - Frank Sinatra

I think the Sid Vicious version might be more fun and comforting for the bereaved.

[Boo]

wild horses by the stones & free bird by lenyrd sknyrd

[Jumbo chilli]

"Swing low, sweet chariot"

"Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming for to carry me home,

Swing low, sweet chariot,

Coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?

Coming for to carry me home,

A band of angels coming after me,

Coming for to carry me home.

Refrain

I’m sometimes up and sometimes down,

Coming for to carry me home,

But still my soul feels heavenly bound,

Coming for to carry me home.

Refrain

The brightest day that I can say,

Coming for to carry me home,

When Jesus washed my sins away,

Coming for to carry me home.

Refrain"
