What songs do you want played at your funeral !!!???

[Chatkins]

Just been thinking about this lately, as I would like it to be a rather musical affair, but also startting a third thread to see which one is most responded to/ignored !!!
So far I have Live Forever - Oasis
Forever Young - Bob Dylan

I WILL FIND MORE !!

hey mb. long time, no mn

If I was feeling particularly mean and wanted everybody to shed tears at my passing I would play this.

If it was a joint funeral for me and dp I would like this especially if we had been hit by a ten ton truck!

And for ds, it would have to be his favourite song of all time, this!!

I pop in form time to time. Good to see you!

Or this and I would like everyone to do the whooo at the end whilst clapping!

Not sure for myself, but DH wants Born Free and |national Express (!!!) by the Divine Comedy.

Pointy - such a lovely song though.

I love the Smiths, always found them very funny and witty. Asleep is possible the only song of those I found really really sad. It's about suiceide, no? Although I suppose it's about whatever you want it to be.

Here's a random thought. I rarely think of mn in my day to day life but I was driving to work one day about a month ago and 'all the time in the world' came on, louis armsytrong, and the thought of mb and her dh popped ito my head.

'of theirs'

I had a big debate with a colleague the other day about The Smiths and he was trotting out the old "they're so miserable" lines and I was trying to convince him about exactly your points, of their wittiness and cheeky edge. "Asleep" would probably not be a good song to convince him of that!

yes, a lot of people think miserable. I find them uplifting. They put me in a better mood if I listen to them.

The Smiths were brilliant (I saw them many years ago)

Herbietea - Always on My Mind is a great choice, I think I'd have that one too (not the Pet Shop Boys version though!)

Right will read the thread properly now.

The Mozart Lacrymosa is a great one - I'd like that one too.
And the Ashokan Farewell, and Arvo Part's Spiegel im Spiegel but with 'cello rather than violin.

Getting carried away now - it'll be a looong service...

wake me up before you gogo

Battle hymn of the Republic (if enough people turn up, othewise it sounds appalling).
w
When the saints go marching in - preferably with full jazz band.

Then as I go through the curtains, the White Horses theme. Freaky, but is rather special to me, and a lot of my friends understand.

ooh, I so want WHAM 'Wake me up before you go go'

Must have it....

Dont stop me now - Queen

Hips dont lie - Shakira (fav holiday song of all time)

I am what I am - Birley Shassey

...and most important the theme song from the film Shirley Valentine

Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd

Friend's husband had Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, slightly ruined by the vicar's censorship of "shit" - loud horn sound over the top made everyone giggle.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

DH wants the Long and Winding Road (Beatles)for all to howl to.

Here comes the sun by Richie Havens

Atlantic Avenue - Average White Band

I'd have this because it will shock, horrify and infuriate everyone who listens to the words and give them something to talk about in the pub afterwards hehehehe.
