Queen or Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young - if the deceased was 102.

Apparently the rhythm of another bites the dust is perfect for CPR…

My mam wanted Another One Bites The Dust played at her funeral. We chose other songs when she died but I do feel guilty about it, because it was her wish..

I don't believe that I will see her again and I'm glad because she would properly tell me off...
