So you're dead

[Balloonhearts]

So you're sadly dead, you got hit by a bus, which was unfortunately on time for a fucking change, what song would you want at your funeral?

I think I'd want Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. I like to think I'd have something really funny and inappropriate but realistically some of my family would not find that funny.

I was thinking of that one too, but the Aurora cover.

I want A Life That’s Good and Never Forget and everyone must do the arm moves!

in reality I want a direct cremation and more a party rather than a proper service so music might be difficult.

Lust for Life: Iggy Pop
Requiem Mass: Mozart
Take Me Out: Franz Ferdinand

Going Underground The Jam

Bambolelo by the Gypsy Kings as my coffin is brought in, ideally when the line 'porque mi vida, yo la quiero vivir asi' (because it is my life, I want to live it like this) belts out I want everyone to stamp a foot.

On the way out to the grave I would love to have Blur's Tender playing.

Ideally it would be a fun celebration and raise a smile.

I want to come in to We love to boogie and I want to come out ( I intend to be buried) to Yes Sir, I can boogie. To be played during the service is an acapella version of under pressure with Bowie and Mercury it's breathtaking. The other two are because I want to make people smile and tap their feet.

I’d have my coffin come into the funeral with Queen : The Show Must Go On and go out to Depeche Mode : Enjoy the Silence.

Bohemian rhapsody

Not a song as such but Highland Cathedral played on the bagpipes

A normal church funeral service. My choice of hymns. Going out, the All Creatures Great and Small theme. The series the first time with Christopher Timothy one.

Cara Dillon ‘the parting glass’ for the sad bit and Louis Armstrong ‘it’s a wonderful world’ for the happy bit.

There's so many that I would like, I can't choose!
Right now I'd like You in Everything by Gang of Youths

Sound of silence (Simon and Garfunkel) going in

Wake:
Danzon no. 2 by Gabriel Marquez
Aaron Copeland hoedown

Cremated to Disco inferno by The Trammps, then move on up by Curtis Mayfield. (Full 8 minute version).
Some funkyness is needed.

I don’t want a funeral.

Sing Alleluia come on get happy ( the lord is waiting to take your hand) sung by Barbara Streisamd

I would like The final countdown by Europe as I’m coming in and then for the end song I’m torn between -
Don’t fear the reaper by Blue oyster cult or
Farewell and Goodnight by the smashing pumpkins

I’m having Good Riddance by Green Day

Carl Orff's Carmina Burana does it for me

"is that all there is?" sung by Peggy Lee and "National Express", Divine Comedy.

I would like to be cremated and have always said I'd have Burn Baby Burn by Ash. A little last joke for my friends & family 😁

In reality probably something by Death Cab for Cutie.

Good Riddance (Time of your life) by Greenday. The brackets are actually the other wsh around but that seems more funny!

Hearts of Olden Glory by Runrig

Cheerio by Jethro Tull

The Impossible Dream, Andy Williams

My husband would have local hero and always look on the brightside of life. I think i would have walk of life
