what song would you want to be listening to when you die?

[Nemesais]

Question! - System of a Down

 

[Spektre41]

Frank Sinatra's "My Way".

 

[Fronken]

"ATB - Don't Stop" or "Pet Shop Boys - Home and Dry"

seems like there are several who would like Dont stop me now. Certainly ironic, and a very good song altogether. Just out of curiosity am I the only one who cant hear that song without thinking of shawn of the dead?

What are you talking about? :S, i didnt say "Dont stop me now", i said "Don't Stop", as in the song "Don't Stop" by ATB -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlXoma6Xkos&feature=related

It has nothing to do with Shaun of the Dead, so i'm guessing you missread my post.

 

[Avatar Roku]

"Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits.

I could see that.

I'd have to say the song Joey Ramone listented to on his deathbed: In a Little While [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxCLGSHKDcw] by U2. By the way, I really like how the guy who made this video interpreted the song, especially since its really about a hangover. Open to interpretation, no matter what the original inspiration was, I guess.

On the other hand, Kite [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwMdO3HK_ws] might be more appropriate. I especially love this one line:

I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did.

EDIT:

Apocalytica's version of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.

Tell me this isn't beautiful. [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GeJpwyhfQQI]

My god, that song is absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Cheesebob]

Either:

The Scientist by Coldplay

or

Its The End Of The World As We Know It (And I feel Fine) by R.E.M.

 

[Lukeje]

China Girl by Iggy Pop (in an ode to Ian Curtis...).

 

[DND Judgement]

so long and thanks for all the fish from hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

 

[Lord_Of_Plum]

The intro to Also Sprach Zarathustra, also known as Thus spoke Zarathustra.

 

[Chiasm]

Pendulum-Blood Suger

Amazing song, I thought I was the only one who knew about it. Heard that set once while peaking.

*Jumping flying high five*

 

[IvanRosski]

Comin' In On A Wing and a Prayer, as recorded by Ry Cooder. At the very least, I want it at my funeral!

 

[Catballs]

Still Alive.

 

[ioxles]

Rolling Stones: You Can't Always Get What You Want. (As I die.)

Followed by Led Zep's: Ramble On, then Adagio in G Min by Tomaso Albinoni. (The funeral and service, the service will not be in a church or mosque or anything but will a general shout out to all Gods)

Then the Fairy Fellers Master Stroke by Queen as my corpse thrown into an active volcano wrapped in explosives.

I've thought this through.

 

[Jumpman]

"ATB - Don't Stop" or "Pet Shop Boys - Home and Dry"

sorry dude. someone mentioned dont stop me now by queen earlier and I accidentally thought you did too. my bad.

 

[TMAN10112]

freebird. I always pictured myself driving off a cliff at 100mph while lisening to freebird.

 

[SargentToughie]

Requiem for a dream, only those six and a half minutes of raw epic could really do justice to the undoubtly awesome way that I would go out...

 

[Dechef]

Runes to my memory, Amon Amarth.

 

[jdog345]

"You Think I Ain't Worth A dollar But I feel Like A Millionaire" by Queens Of the Stone Age right before, then when I'm dead, "Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd) plays as my body falls to the ground in Slo Mo.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I would want to hear Take This Life by In Flames, The Final Countdown ay Europe, Devils Never Cry by... i don't know who, or Fury of the Storm by Dragonforce.

 

[JRCB]

Pretty much any song off of Sufferer & The Witness.
Maybe Sympathy for The Devil.
"Rooftops" by lost prophets, maybe.
"Who wants to live forever?", quite possibly.
Or, Stairway to heaven.

 

[Zetona]

"Expelled" by PAIN, maybe, because of the chorus:

No! I don't want to go now,
I don't want to leave,
I don't want to go (x2)
Don't take my life away now...

Or maybe "End of the Line" or "A Good Day to Die". But neither of those has quite the same level of irony.

If you could listen to the whole song before you die, then it would have to be "The Song That Never Ends". It goes on and on my friends...
