Wow, worked out to nearly 30 songs. Look`s like my funeral is gonna take at least a day with food and drink and everything. Better clear your schedule.

I'll Fly Away-gospel standard

Angel From Montgomery-Bonnie Raight

Reach-the Replacemnts

The 'Example'cd by For Squirrels, a band who was unfortunately decimated by a car accident immediately after this cd's release in 1995.

i believe the correct title for the song is "within your reach" - but it's never-the-less an excellent pick & a great song

you want a song about wild sex & sadomasochism played at your funeral because it's relaxing?

I'd pick the same Mozart piece, obviously. I played that over and over and over (and over again) all the time in college... it was one of my favorites...

As for The Replacements... anyone's who's even heard of them gets points in my book!

"Louie, Louie" (by the Kingsmen). I don't want anyone standing around feeling sad after I buy the farm.... I want them to enjoy themselves remembering me.

you want a song about wild sex & sadomasochism played at your funeral because it's relaxing? [/QB][/QUOTE]

I probably wouldn't pick it in real life for that reason, but it has a relaxing, fatigued feeling about it that I have an odd obsession with. But you are right in that it would be a stupid choice and probably leave people scratching their heads.

Mine would probably be one of these above all.
"The Beatles - In My Life"
Neil Young - "When God Made Me"
The Doors - "End of the Night" or "The End."
Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely

When Pat and Jasani are brutally murdered to death I'm not going to their funerals. I'll be knackered from bludgeoning them and can't be arsed with all them songs.

Lol! Lol!

What makes you think they'd let a bloke like you go to their funeral?

j/k

Here's my two cents, for what it's worth:

"Way Over Yonder" - Carole King

"Lontano Degli Occhi" (Far From My Eyes) - Mary Hopkin

"In My Life" - the Judy Collins version


Signor V.

Oh how creepy would it be seeing my coffin on that conveyor belt thing going to get toasted whilst Ghost Town by The Specials plays?

Sully - I'm going to your funeral now and reading out my obituary about you. I'll tell everyone about the time we snuck to Cancun and played lightsaber battles with illuminous condoms. Ok it was like to glow worms mating but it's my story to exaggerate.

"I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls :p

Now that's the spirit I like!

All of Tubular Bells.

I want my loved ones to suffer.

More:

"Brokedown Palace" by The Grateful Dead

"Friend of the Devil" by The Grateful Dead

"Die Moldau" as done by the Cleveland Orchestra

The Doc

Why wait 'till you die??? You're young, live is beautiful. So make them suffer now!

That wasn't our finest hour...

Yeah it's only two tracks for 50 minutes. Imagine the creepy exorcism bit though?

My girlfriend keeps saying she wants good riddance by green day played at hers. Me on the other hand, I'm kind of partial to photograph by nickleback.


Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present outa fix it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time I had better things to do
Criminal records said I've broken twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if its too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Lifes better now that it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how if feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town
I cannot believe it
So hard to stay
So hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread on my bedroom floor
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its time to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

I can think of 3 songs I'd like played at my funeral. They are in order.


1. Anthem to the Estranged-Metal Church

2. Turn me Loose-Loverboy(this pretty much sums up how I have lived my life, by doing things my way, or no way at all. )

3. Me Against the World-Lizzy Borden


Plus I have one request, that is to be be buried upside down. So the whole world can kiss my A**.

IF I had to sum my whole life up in a single musical moment, it would be on DJ Shadow's Mutual Slump (track 10 on Endtroducing), when the frantic drums stop, and a girl's voice says, "Came to America, saw Xanadu, and that's all I wanted to do; rollerskate."

Those words, the way she says it, and the music over the top, evokes feelings I can't describe with words in me. A kind of nostalgic reminiscence of something I haven't yet experienced.

Venus in Furs is one of the greatest songs ever. I love it.

"Taste the WHIP...in love not given lightly

Taste the WHIP...now PLEEEEEEEEEAD for me."

I would like RELEASE by Pearl Jam.

DS

Sunshine of Your Love by Cream

Waaaw. You just said with words what I feel. What I think about it is; when will that future nostalgic reminiscence actually be? But then again, do I really want to know when it'll be?

So many difficult questions, so little answers... It sucks being smart

I have a friend who wants "Brick House" played at her funeral. She also told us that if she catches something, and knows she will die soon, she wants people to meet her at her bedside for a final word. The person on the top of her list is somebody she works with, who she cannot stand.

She's a unique individual!
