Daffy D Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I live in a rural area with a couple of temples and an open space where they have regular noisy events near me on three sides. This morning I was woken again before dawn by music blasting from one of the temples rattling the windows, yet another funeral. This happens on a regular basis and can go on for several days depending on the "Hi-So" of the departed. The more wealth the more days of "celebrations" While lying there in the dark listening to my windows rattling I got to thinking to about the situation, yet again, and while realizing nothing could be done I did realized could get my own back at my own funeral. I am going to put together a CD of good old rock music. Starting calmly enough with perhaps a couple of Slim Whitman and Hank Williams tracks progressing to a few of belters from Lonnie Donegan and Bill Haley of course, moving onto some of the rock numbers from Elvis and Little Richard and finishing with a giant blast from Eddie Cochran and Jerry Lee Lewis. I shall make it a condition of my will that this CD should be played full blast day and night non stop for at least three days. If my wish is not carried out all my money will go to a cat home. That'll show em! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soutpeel Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Don't forget "Going Underground" by The Jam. or maybe more appropriately for me "Highway to Hell" AC/DC or for our not so well off OAP's and "English Teachers" who dont have a pot to p*ss in..." Nobody knows you when your down and out"......believe original version was Bessy Smith, but made "popular" again by Eric Clapton Edited March 17, 2012 by Soutpeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orac Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I suppose by planning ahead you could have a list available so as to tailor your final tune to the circumstances of your demise such as: Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd should you suffer from a Pattaya Condo Freefall 'suicide' Highway to Hell - AC/DC for the odds on favourite Thai road death Disco Inferno - Tina Turner in the case of Santika like event.

IanForbes Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 OP, yer my kind of man. Congrats. I've thought the same thing many times when listening to Thai temple music... sorry, edit that... "sound/noise" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiMouse Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 The best way I personally have found to counter this, is I play Flowers of the Forrest for the deceased, ON the Bagpipes. ( Funny, my neighbour came knocking on my door at 03:20am a little while back, but I was not too perturbed about this, as I was playing my bagpipes, so I was awake anyway. 555. Joke ok!)

Lantern Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Some funny ideas in this thread, brought back the memory of attending the funeral of a good friend who was not always on the right side of the law. The funeral opened with the classic "I fought the law and the law won" Never seen so many smiling faces at a funeral ever. RIP Jonny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
