What's Song Do You Want At Your Funeral ?

A lot that i have being to have had Fields of Athenry, but they were very old people. My Mam wants Robbie Williams- Angels played at hers.

For the laugh i'd love Jamaraquai - I'm Going Deeper Underground but i dont think it would 'go down' well with the family

Or

BeeGee's- Staying Alive

Have you chosen yours yet or what would you like?

I don't really plan on dying for another seventy years so maybe some metal song from the 2050s.

Ride of the Valkyries ftw.

InKonspikuou2 · 29-12-2009 2:56pm

Blue - Eiffel 65

29-12-2009 2:56pm

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now.

All of my family are aware of my wishes!!!

Fago! · 29-12-2009 3:02pm

Wake me up before you go go - Wham!

Always look on the bright side of life

One Foot In The Grave theme tune.

Het-Field · 29-12-2009 3:07pm

The saddest, and most melancholic selection of hyms possible. "Abide With Me", "Soul of My Saviour", "Nearer My God To Thee", "How Great Thou Art".

I could think of nothing worse then a "happy funeral".

Real answer: Days by the Kinks

AH Answer: Coffin Fodder by Cradle of Filth

Baba O' Riley - The Who

The start would be savage.

I have thought about it and I am of the opinion now of why bother.

This would bring a tear to a glass eye.

+1 to Ride of The Valkyries, excellent tune.

Maybe Baz Luhrmann - Sunscreen or

Jeff Buckly - Hallellujah (very depressing though:()

Whitesnake's "We wish you well"...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm6zH-nvod4&feature=related

I'm sad to say it's time to go
Until we meet again along the road
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you're not alone

We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well...

Personally, i wouldnt go for a song about masturbation, but each to their own...

JCDUB · 29-12-2009 3:32pm

Or this tune, bit ghey but still I'd like it!!

Incidentally I picked the Birds "Turn, Turn, Turn" for my Dad's funeral last year.
It was his era and I knew he liked it, and I like it now even more because of the significance.

Ross_Mahon · 29-12-2009 3:32pm

'Living In A Box'

galwayrush · 29-12-2009 3:33pm

Afterimage by Rush, poignant lyrics
Brain damage, Pink Floyd.:D The first line sums me up perfectly/:D

Whosbetter? · 29-12-2009 3:35pm

Haven't a clue.

Days; The Kinks, would be good.
Also, In My Life, by The Beatles would be alright too.

It won't be anything from The Who though..:eek:
