What song would you like played at your funeral?
 

OK...I know it's kind of a morbid question but I had a LONG discussion with one of my old friends about music (both avid music fans) and the topic came up.

I personally think, it's one of the most intuitive questions about musical taste one can be asked and my friend said, it wasn't a good question to ask at all. :2 cents:

I figured I'd ask GFY to see what you guys think :pimp

Me personally, I'd want Bob Dylan "When the Ship Comes In". (https://youtube.com/watch?v=cVbK1ODWxcA&feature=related)

So, What do you think and what song would you choose?

Dust in the Wind - performed by Will Farrell

Highway to Hell by AC/DC :thumbsup

Hair of the dog by Nazereth..comes to mind :glugglug

Love it! :pimp

My answer a couple years ago would be "Highway to hell", yeah I liked to provoke, that has changed now.

In fact no song is a good choice because those who will attend your funeral will always have it connected with your funeral.

I can't hear "Tears in Heaven" from Clapton for example cause it brings back painful memories.

I just want bagpipes.

True, It would be connected but as a music fan, my family would want to know what I felt represented my death.

I purposely chose a song that isn't commonly heard, but is also uplifting and not sorrowful :2 cents:

Definitely an interesting twist CarlostheGaucho that could be a subquestion...

Good one! :1orglaugh :thumbsup



I have a whole bunch of songs already picked out for the service and for the wake...

ADG

Another One Bites the Dust.
WG

random notes, or a song on bagpipes? :winkwink:

No funeral, thanks...

times for change - Motley Crue but the unreleased version, only with a keyboard wich sounds like an organ

Nice find! with spanish adlibs and everything hehe

Wild Horses

Ave Maria by aaron neville..The version of that song always gets me

thats life frank sinatra

My Way .. Sinatra :)

Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen

"when the saints come marching in" - Louis Armstrong followed by "let's get it on" - Marvin Gaye:thumbsup

Good form

When I go, "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen will be playing full blast out of the horse drawn carriage that carries my transparent glass coffin embedded within a myriad of black roses as a troop of black New Orleans vodun dance in a marching procession reminiscent of a New Orleans jazz funeral.

Happy Death Day - Gwar

midway through the instrumental break i want my casket to explode in a rain of bile, maggots, and rotting flesh as bloodsoaked belly dancers twist and turn, gracefully playing with my scattered entrails...

Surprise!, you are DEAD - Faith no more

fill out the life insurance form now and re-write your will in your case :1orglaugh

Truckin'- Grateful Dead

A good choice :thumbsup

I'm surprised we haven't seen "Knockin on heavens door" yet :upsidedow

I'd want to start with:

Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good

Followed by:

Brooks & Dunn - You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone

George Jones- He Stopped Loving Her Today

The Police - Every Breath You Take

and end with:

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
