Songs not to play at a funeral

[MikeRafone]

Another one bites the dust - Queen
Staying alive bee gees
Smoke gets in my eyes the platters

My friend had There She Goes.

Knock on wood.

Disco Inferno

Knocking on heavens door - bob dylan

I’d have this at mine. The title is Good Riddance - The time of your life. If you read the lyrics its actually quite good for a send off…

Not a funny pun or anything, but I do think Hallelujah is inappropriate for a funeral due to the fact it seems to be about sex. Especially if sung by a young person or choir. I have heard it at two funerals.

'Be thou my vision' at a Catholic mass with loads of smokey incense.

Bat out of hell?

While waiting at a crematorium a couple of years ago, Ding Dong the Witch is Dead was playing at the previous funeral. I wondered whether they asked for the song from the Wizard of Oz expecting Somewhere over the Rainbow and got that instead.

You’re as cold as ice-Foreigner
ha ha you’re dead - Greenday

Every breath you take 😁

My uncle had “Return To Sender”.

His choice.

Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead
Dance The Night Away

Ring of fire-Johnny Cash

Tubthumping? I quite fancy hearing 'I get knocked down, but I get up again...' putting the fear of my reappearance into my relatives.

Always reminds me of bumsex.

edit, oops sorry wrong thread.

I want this at mine

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

I've actually been to a couple of funerals that have played Good Riddance...I guess lyrically it's quite different to what the title suggests. Personally, Ha Ha You're Dead by Green Day will deffo be sending me out. Hopefully give people a good laugh at least 😂

Highway to Hell
Don't Fear the Reaper
Hell's Bells
Heaven or Hell

Return to sender
Wake me up before you go go

Horny - Mousse-T

Down Down by Status Quo

This one makes me blub even not at a funeral (and Lord of all Hopefulness, which had the same tune)😭

Every day I love you less and less. The Kaiser Chiefs
