What song do you want played at your funeral?

I saw this on snopes…


and I think its one of the funniest things ever. Another One Bites the Dust would be a fantabulous funeral song.

And then it got me thinkin.

What other songs would be a good funeral song?

I’m thinkin that “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” by Monty Python would be another good idea. And (somewhat more seriously) “In My Life” by The Beatles.

So, what song do you want played at your funeral?

The Hallelujah Chorus because I will have won the race.

I dunno the specific song, but it’s definitely gonna be something funny…I’m too unserious about stuff to let people be sad at my funeral…if I can make it easier for them, then I will

I had actually given this some thought and if I recall correctly, I want Nasal Retentive Calliope Music by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention played.

Mikael Atkinson singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips a cappella.

"Beautiful!
God! it’s god!
I see god! "

Why would YOU want the above lyrics at your funeral???

I’ll be happy to come over an snort along. :smiley:

Why shouldn’t I?

What must I do to get you to TALK??!

Use your imagination. That’s my answer to both your questions.

I’d like my funeral to be held at a necrophiliac’s convention…

…and I’ll have them play “Rape me” by Nirvana…

…but I’m going to be cremated beforehand and have my urn lovingly placed in a closed casket. No one will know any better until they crack the lid…

…hah! Even when I’m through with this incarnation, I’ll still be a tease! :smiley:

Dunno, but anything that can trigger the bomb that takes everyone who’s already pre-booked :smiley: and queuing up to goto it :stuck_out_tongue:

Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr…by Trivium:D …seriously

I’ll be dead. the choice of music should be stuff that appeals to the non-dead people who will (hopefully) be there. Funerals are for those left behind, not for the deceased. However I would respect the wishes of any friend or family member who had song requests for their funeral.

Were it up to me, I’d request that my funeral be a party, celebrating the best parts of my life. I won’t be there (unless something goes terribly wrong). My request for when I die is to cut out the good parts and burn the rest.

Uh, knowing the way people on this forum think, the cut out parts are for organ donation, you sickoes!

Circus Song!

That hiss-click-hiss-click noise you get when your record player gets to the end of a disc.
That’s what I want.

I want the birdie song with blokes at the front of the church/cremetary in giant bird suits dancing to it as I get burned that would be funny

as it turned out, the way i died and all, i would have asked for “Magic Bus”. But who can plan something like that?

i would like my favorite song played … disturbed’s down with the sickness.

what if i die of cancer or something? that’ll be ironic. :smiley: let’s just hope i die of something like old age that isn’t as painful.

laid to rest-lamb of god

Chase

I’d go with Jimmy Buffet’s - Cheeseburger in Paradise. Based on that - what food should be served at my reception??
