What song would you like played at your funeral?

[Mantonio]

I got told by my English teacher that when he dies and is to be cremated, he wants the James Bond theme to play as his coffin moves into the incinerator. Then, after the curtains have shut, he wants the sound the TARDIS makes to play.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Fade to Black - Metallica

 

[Nyan Cat]

Bowie's in Space - Flight of the Conchords ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4zV4pJ8MwM )

While this song is playing I would like to be shot out into space...

or Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al12WO5x23w )

This would need to be playing as my coffin was going down under!

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

House Of Pain - Jump Around
There is never a time when this song is innapropriate. Also I want my coffin to be delivered (for want of a better word) in a low rider, none of that stuffy old herse stuff for me!

After that Aumgn by Can, or as me and one other person know it the Krautrock Endurance Test. 17 minutes of not very much, and I'd expect people to stand through all of it, just to piss them off.

Then maybe Slug Bait by Throbbing Gristle, just for the lyrics
"I get your husband to your front bedroom
I cut his balls of with my knife KNIFE
I make him eat them right there
In front of his pregnant wife WIFE
He's into his balls off
I look at him very slow"

It doesn't make sense and it's disturbing, perfect.

fade to black - Mtallica

 

[Bernzz]

Korn - Did My Time
Fear Factory - Martyr
Fear Factory - Resurrection
Gary Jules - Mad World (that'd make people slightly sad)
Frank Klepacki - Hell March (the first one)
Manowar - Hymn of the Immortal Warriors (if I was ego centric and such like)
Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone (another ego centric one)
Killswitch Engage - Life to Lifeless
Disturbed - Hell - Disturbed
Disturbed - I'm Alive - Disturbed

That's all I can think of for now. I really only chose ones I think fit the theme of death, or would screw with peoples minds.

Videotape by Radiohead.

 

[Slash Dementia]

"The Bard's Song" - Blind Guardian
"Copper Sunset" - Cathedral
"The End" - The Doors

 

[Haydyn]

My dad once told me he'd want "Here I go Again" by Whitesnake. I'd have to go with either "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazarus, "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, or "Dreams" by Týr.

 

[Nadiril]

Hmmm, id have to pick
Nothing Ever Dies by Kamelot
or Hand of Sorrow by Within Temptation

 

[Kajt]

The Morrowind Theme.
Or maybe:

Louis Armstrong - Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater.

Yeah, I probably have to go with this. It's an awesome song and it's perfect for a funeral.

 

[triggahappyhaza]

Apology by Alesana got to be my number 1 song to have played

 

[Cali0602]

"Another One Bites The Dust" - Queen
followed by
"Hallelujah Chorus" - Handel's Messiah
closing with
"Two Feet Of Top Soil" - Brad Paisley

Always leave 'em laughing.

Chopin's Marche Funèbre (in b[sup]b[/sup]-minor). Yes I'm boring, but I love that sonata...
