Off Topic Your final tune

Just posted on the Marks thread and mentioned keeping a suit, shirt, tie and shoes for the final journey.

That got me thinking about what will be the tune to see me off.

As a big Yes fan my first thought was all 4 sides of Tales from Topographic Oceans but it would be a bit rude to keep the mourners hanging around for 80 minutes.

The shorter alternatives are Turn of the Century from Going for the One or I Am Waiting from Talk. Only 6 or 7 minutes for either.

 

As I plan to be cremated, I was thinking Smoke gets in your Eyes, by the Platters
Platters - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (youtube.com)

Alternatively, having no connection to Hibernian at all, I think one of the most moving football songs, Sunshine on the Leith by the Proclaimers
Sunshine On Leith | Hibs Fans Sing After The 2016 Scottish Cup Final (youtube.com)

 

Hope you are going to lay on a decent buffet for the Not606er's?

 

Old and Wise - Colin Blunstone (Alan Parsons Project)

Something eerie about that song that was easily the best track on their Eye in the Sky album.

 

I suppose Stairway to Heaven is the obvious choice but for me it has to be Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding.

 

The Parting Glass for me.

 

Love that Sunshine on Leith song BT.
The film is good as well.

 

Met Colin a few times, and Rod Argent, always a fan of The Zombies, Masky

 

You liked them so much you became one?

 

As a musician (of sorts), this song is sung at the end of a Tuesday night at our venue, use to love it, but heard it for so long....drives me nuts! Masky

 

Also as a musician of sorts, I can’t get enough of this tune. It’ll be blasting when they carry me out.

 

Anything but a zombie pal, just on here maybe for your entertainment! Masky’s song would be GRACE, probably IB would agree with Masky’s choice. Caught him taking a pee at The Haig the other day, against a brick wall leaving....dirty boy....tiny todge too! Masky

 

I went to see Colin at the Earl Haig a couple of years back. Still got it.
Now if you were there you could have bought me that pint you’ve been promising.

 

Now Grace is a great song as well. Always sung at Celtic games.

Now stop going on about my todge. They didn’t call you stumpy at school for nothing.

 

Since the introduction of BOOKING FEES, and because I play regularly, the last time I went to see an artist was Iris Diment. Oh and Donovan....met them both! Iris wanted more than Masky wanted to give, but that’s the way things go! Masky

 

Get buried at sea. Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple.

As for the Proclaimers, you won't be walking 500 miles.

 

In your memory it will be either a McDonalds or Greggs budget funeral buffet as the burger van on Sloper Road doesn't do them.

 

What do you play IB, and where.....I bet you know Masky eh? I could show myself to you in the dubs! Masky

 

I've put it on repeat many a time. Not sure I have seen the film though?

 

Got a ukulele. Can’t play guitar anymore with arthritic fingers!
I just dabble at home. My arena touring days are over.
