Off Topic Your Funeral Songs

Heed has given me an idea....... so which songs do you want played at your funeral (if any)?

I'd go with these babies... in this exact order:

'Canto Della Terra'- Andrea Bocelli

'November Rain' - Guns & Roses

'Masterplan'- Oasis

and to walk out to......

'Don't Worry'- Bob Marley

I have odd tastes.......

 

This

Followed by this on the way into the furnace

 

Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev

Xanadu by Rush

When the Leeve Breaks Led Zep

Pomp and Circumstance March No1 Elgar

 

My Classical piece

This shows my arrogant sense of humor

Then a couple of party tunes at the end.

 

"The Only Way is Up" - Yazz

 

I've been to a funeral where this was played as the last song. Everybody started singing it when it came on.

 

Bri other people will be dead by the time they've listened through all that lot!

 

I reckon I'd just dispense with all the speeches and all that bollocks and just have a song for each period of my life to describe my experiences.

Bit of Pink floyd for the school years:

Maybe a bit of Creedence for the crazy period most have from 17-25

Meeting the missus and time with her, its not all plain sailing and requires a bit of hard work (especially when one knacker won't settle down...), bit of Jimi for that

Song about the birth of the littleun, something like

TO BE CONTINUED...

 

The Walker brothers

 

That's called 'Three Little Birds'.

 

Outstanding sir, I doth my cap to you!

 

I've always thought the outro to Layla by Derek and the Dominoes would suit a funeral.

 

1. Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd

2. Where Darkness Ends by Dare.

3. Jimmy Nail & Mark Knopfler- Big River

 

I want my body to be spring loaded, so when the organ sets the tone with it's dreary melancholic ****, everyone is in tears (obvs) and then... "well I guess it would be nice... If I could touch your body" And my torso bursts through the coffin with a zombie mask on!

 

Best to have them chosen, you never know when they'll come in useful
Lets face it, you don't want any old crap playing whilst the curtains close around you
Choose well......

These are my Three Funeral Songs

Up First
Because The Night - Patti Smith Group

Followed by
Just Like Fred Astaire - James
(I just hope I don't get run over or that ones a crock)

and to close proceedings, I chose
Sit Down (the Original Version) - James
