What Song Do You Want Played At Your Funeral?

[kayo]

Cypress Hill - I Ain't Goin' Out Like That

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well, er... Since you´d be dead, you wouldn´t have much to say, now would you.

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...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You are so beautiful........forgot the singer  JO ?

Have I told you lately......Rod

Amacing Grace......

Tougher than the Rest * The Boss 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

you are so beautiful, Joe Cocker. (Mariah Wailer Carey did a version in the 90´s too.

I would have, for the sad part Comfortably Numb too.

The feature song would have to be brothers in arms, and if anybody is still at the funural by this time, I would throw in Jeff Buckley´s Version of the Leonard Cohen Song "Hallelujah".

After that, we´d start the party for anyone still left.

"Beat it" by MJ, of course. A little bit of Jumping Around in the house of pain, and whatever other party songs I grew up partying with.

[kayo]

oh, and I forgot the best song of all....

Taken from Jimi Hendrix impromptu jam with Jim Morrison at the Scene Club in New York (1972) ,

Wake up this morning, and FIND YOURSELF DEAD!

[thaibebop]

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.

[Patsycat]

Angels - Robbie

Where d'ya think you're going? - Dire Straits

And according to a "family decision" - Danny Boy

And then the party may begin....

[jayenram]

Have I told you lately......Rod

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Van Morrison; please!

With reference to VM, how about "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd and Van Morrison?

[bangkokian]

I have "good-bye my friend it's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky...da da da.." in mind, but I prefer ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY, LIFE IS BUT A DREAM. Pongsit Khampee's and Charan Manopet's songs are also great.

Interesting thread...Got to come back later to read it all later .

[p_brownstone]

Anything composed after ...... hmmm - let's say 2050

[OxfordWill]

To get the tears rolling, Barber's Adagio for Strings. If that fails, Elvis.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, you want Albinoni Adagio in G minor. That is just sucidal listening.

[OxfordWill]

Listening to it now (I think..)..where did I put my knife?

[Pie Boy]

Walk on By - The Stranglers

[ilyushin]

Judas Priest - Heavy Metal Grinder

[aughie]

I'm living in a box          Blamanche

Pretty funny. Good one.

I'll Take You There - The Staple Singers

and

Wreck on the Highway - Roy Acuff

Who did you say it was brother?

Who was it fell by the way?

When whiskey and blood run together

Did you hear anyone pray?

I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother

I didn't hear nobody pray

I heard the crash on the highway

But, I didn't hear nobody pray.

When I heard the crash on the highway

I knew what it was from the start

I went to the scene of destruction

And a picture was stamped on my heart.

There was whiskey and blood all together

Mixed with glass where they lay

Death played her hand in destruction

But I didn't hear nobody pray.

I wish I could change this sad story

That I am now telling you

But there is no way I can change it

For somebody's life is now through.

Their soul has been called by the Master

They died in a crash on the way

And I heard the groans of the dying

But, I didn't hear nobody pray.

[AsiaWolfie]

"walk on by" by the STRANGLERS is certainly not bad, "MY WAY" the all time favorite, but actually the only suitable song seems to be "Love will tear us apart" by JOY DIVISION

[Nickerelastic]

Spirit in the sky is my hymn of choice.

[Patsycat]

Mike and the mechanics - looking over my shoulder

[ya5702]

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?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Believe it or not, they actually play "Happy days are here again" during funeral processions in Singapore!!! Probably is.

[LindsayBKK]

Only the good die young - Billy Joel
