A song for your funeral....

[cian]

This thread was just stolen from another forum, and no I feel no shame for doing it :D

1) Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley version

2) Always look on the bright side of life - Life of Brian Sound track - Just to see the look on Grannies face when they all sing 'Lifes a piece of sh1t..." in a church :'D

3) Benny hill theme tune. Just to see would any of the women there run around in their undies :D

[alfarocks]

Wait until I'm dead - The Dog's D'Amour

[eob]

James Bond theme tune just as they're bringing me down the aisle :D

[mattireland]

being a prod and the plan to be cremated it should be

"firestarter" by the prodigy

[Funky]

The Cardigans - My Favorite Game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=styYbRWQYP8) with a video of some of the mad fun convoys and trackdays i've had :'D Then camp hits from britney and the scissor sisters and lots of vodka for the biggest party ever ;)

[owen]

'If you want me to stay' by Sly and the Family Stone.Something funky to get everyone smiling.

I thought this was a serious thread! With taste like that you almost deserve to be having a funeral (I don't mean anything bad :) )

As an aging hippie the song for me would have to be "Bird on a Wire" by Leonard Cohen.

Haha yea party on!!! http://www.invision.smileyville.net/smilies/anv (2).gif

I won't be at Funky's funeral, sadly, I'll be too busy that weekend driving her TVR round the Ring of Kerry at 140mph being loosely followed by upto eight Gardai helicopters.

If I die soon, can you all turn up at the funeral and bring my local GAA-lovin'/sheep shaggin'/beer drinkin' village to a halt with a procession of supercars and generally be proud to be there? Hugh Jass's Impreza STi Wagon would make an excellent hearse with the seats folded flat. You can put an Octane flag on my coffin.

Funky, I'd appreciate it if you could do some really creative wailing, banging on the coffin etc, saying things like "why, why, why... the p0rn industry just won't be the same without you" etc.

[Funky]

Haha that really would be some party .... i mean sad funeral event! Can i still play the cardigans even if it is the pron master maker of octanes sending off do? http://www.invision.smileyville.net/smilies/dev (5).gif

Self Preservation Society from the end of The Italian Job and 3 Minis let loose in the Church grounds and graveyard racing around and doing handbrake turns

That's the best one yet! Any objections to us strapping your frozen corpse upright in the passenger seat of one with some sunglasses on?

Good man, Wheelnut. Auld Lenny, you can't beat him with a big stick.

I find Leonard too cheery for funerals though. Nick Cave's "And no more shall we part" would be a good fit.

Tomaso Albinoni's adagio in G (or at least Giazotto's arrangement of it) is what it'll be when my coffin is wheeled out to a waiting DS hearse. Or played through a pair of cheap headphones clapped around a plastic urn - who knows?

[Wheelnut]

What about "Fade Away" by Dobie Grey?

(I think that's the title...

Give me the beat boys to loose my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock'n'roll....etc etc)

[ds20prefecture]

Drift away by the Doobie Brothers? All your Leonard Cohen kudos just evaporated :)

[evad]

'Don't forget your shovel' - good ole Christy

[motorhead]

the pixies / in heaven

is kim's version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwOxdoJRaeM) too soppy for a funeral ?

or would you get away with frank's earlier one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsRrQLY5s_8) ?

what's up with youtube embeds lately ? most don't seem to work anymore.

What sort of a moron do you think I am? I am a person of great taste. Try this link:

[nasty]

The Blue Danube Waltz as my coffin enters the furnace (you're a nerd if you get this).
Actually, in all seriousness, I'd probably pick "The Great Gate of Kiev" for myself, but since I'll be dead and it really won't make a blind bit of difference to me, let them pick what they want to hear, be that Britney Spears or Beethoven, Led Zeppelin or Lou Reed.

[Fugs]

here comes your man by the pixies or Angel of death by slayer....

[atomicdeathmonkey]

freebird - all day everday - especially for a funeral - a bit hippy but i like it!

[Toad]

Highway to hell AC-DC
Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder or RHCP
Come to Daddy - Aphex twin
The Saint Theme music

Personally and seriously - Belfast - Orbital.

For my cremation:
Toccata and Fugue in D minor - generally attributed to JS Bach.

[8valve]

There's a lament played by Davy Spillane on the Riverdance soundtrack called 'Caoineadh Cuchulainn' or similar. That'll do me, boss!

i've already told herself that I want a little 'GTi' badge stuck to the end of the coffin where my feet'll be.

[vdubbin]

For my cremation:
Toccata and Fugue in D minor - generally attributed to JS Bach.

Spooky!

[paddymcgrath]

A pre-recorded, muffled sound of me screaming 'Let me out' ...

The theme music from the great escape

[Scots John]

"There's no lights on the Christmas tree mother,

they're burnin Big Louie tonight."

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Alluding to the way the lights in the old jails went out when the chair was fired up.:D

[Monkey wrench]

Mazzy Star "Into Dust"

I wanna make sure everyone is sad/depressed at my funeral. :'D

[alfamale]

start it off with a weepy number: Gerry and the Pacemakers, "You'll never walk alone"

then try to cheer them up a bit: Monty Python, "Always look on the bright side of life"

and then as the final procession is getting under way : Frank Sinatra with, "I did it my way"
