Best last song for a funeral

After a very serious brush with death (on a ventilator and family told to say goodbye) I thought it best to leave my husband instructions for my funeral. It will be a cremation.
I have a very dry sense of humour and can make an innuendo out of pretty much anything so don't hold back as I want something that will make people smile.
For the last song so far I have Things can only get better and Stevie Nicks Rooms on fire.
Fire away!!

A close family friend had You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive.
It was one last hurrah for her, a way of shocking the very, very respectable congregation she’d spent her life rebelling against.
I had to wait in the vestry, there were a few of us crying laughing, which I know was the desired response.

I have thought about Meatloaf's "Bat out of hell" or "Objects in the rearview mirror".

But I think it's more likely to be "Spirits in the Sky"...which will make my uncle, a Parish Priest and very devout catholic who is likely to do the service of still practising, cringe. But he would do it. And many of my friends would smile knowing it's me. While a few elderly aunts will look very disapproving.
