Your funeral song?

[redstar alpha]

probaly NOFX'S song "the dinosours will die" i would have it playing on a big speaker set with the words "sony are the shit!" written on every surface in the church.

dont get the joke? go listen to that song(then go listen to some good music,like iron maiden) and you will get it.

that or maybe pashendale by iron maiden, the song has some really good orcestral bits. damn i have to many ideas hear is another, as i get lowered in to my grave i will spring load my hand so that it pops out just as i disapear in to the grave and gives every one the finger, going out in style

 

[JackofTrades]

This would be too much but I'd be dead so who gives a fuck, Not Listening - Papa Roach

 

[Raikone]

All of the crimping songs from the Mighty Boosh.

Don't ask look it up for yourself

 

[Kenshi_Ryden]

"When You Go" was a very good call. Although it must be a cover? I'm certain i've heard it before.

Still Alive is a great song- but faaar too unsubtle, unoriginal and cliche to have as a funeral song.

I'd have to choose "Air" by The incredible String Band. Seriously look it up, my Dad says we have to play it at his funeral. So damn beautiful and solemn.

Altar of Sacrifice by Slayer

[Cyberius]

Im curious, what movement of Carmina Burona would you have them play. 1,2,and 13 rock, i hold a grudge against 3. As for me, Im not going to die.

At some random point during my funeral, the lights in whatever building it's being held at will go off, and then the theme from X-Files will play, just to freak out the funeral goers a bit, followed by "Dance of Illusions" or an instrumental version of "The Phantom of the Opera" just to confuse them.

In all seriousness, though...
"Meadows of Heaven" by Nightwish or "Back to California" by Sugarcult.

 

[AndiGravity]

What, is no one going to go with "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

 

[hughball]

passive a perfect circle and i want my headstone to read simply "whoops"

 

[iamnotincompliance]

In no particular order:

Queen's Princes of the Universe - Because it's about immortals, and I want to leave doubt as to if I'm actually gone or this is an elaborate ruse to keep my secret.

The Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil - If I don't leave the impression I'm immortal (so far, no proof I'm not) maybe I'll leave the impression I'm personally responsible for all evil worldwide for the past couple of centuries, and that's fun too.

AC/DC's It's a long way to the top - Maybe I want to go for a no-hint route and just confuse the fuck out of everyone with a heavily bagpiped rock classic. Bagpipes in rock: doesn't sound like it should work, and yet somehow it does.

Still Alive - Obvious, but what the hell, right?

And, Weird Al's Since you've been gone - That hadn't occurred to me, but it's genius.

 

[stompy]

Not becuase it has anything to do with death, but because I like it, Chopin's 'Raindrop Prelude'. I dunno, something about that piece sets me at peace...

 

[RedSigma]

Simple...

Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up"

 

[ffxfriek]

Mad World in about teen-age angst.

I would go with Beautiful Day - U2. Afterlife is the shit.

lol wow the damnation game for me whould work or even set the world on fire

 

[takagi]

"Suicide is Painless" from MASH.

 

[Seldon2639]

What, is no one going to go with "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

It's a little too obvious.

"Brothers in Arms" The Dire Straits

"Your Lucky Day in Hell" The Eels

"Feelin' All Right" Joe Cocker & Leon Russell

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" Guns 'N Roses

Then, to be more festive:

"Jet Airliner" The Steve Miller Band

Last, but not least:

"Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta" by The Ghetto Boys

 

[AndiGravity]

What, is no one going to go with "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

It's a little too obvious.

So is "Still Alive", and people keep picking that.

"Brothers in Arms" is a good choice melodically, but God help your funeral director if the people at your funeral know what it's about.

 

[Kaos Incarnate]

Himmel oder Hölle by E nomine

Or Mein Teil by Rammstein

 

[MindBullets]

I was recently wondering whether I'd want Stairway to Heaven played at my funeral.

Still not sure.

 

[Jenkins]

WOULD have to be

3 libras- A perfect circle.

the tone and mood of the song is just....

 

[ultra_v_89]

Bodies- By Drowning Pool
followed by
Unknown Soldier- Breaking Benjamin
then
You're Beautiful by James Blunt
If the first two songs don't awake me, I really am dead. Then someone will explain that James Blunt was played because everyone but me will have to suffer it.
