What music do you want playing at your funeral?
« on September 09, 2014, 08:21:32 pm by Bentley Bullet »
Personally I'd like something fitting like Cavatina (he was beautiful), or simply the best by Tina Turner.

Of course you have to be careful what you request, if, for instance you have  a wife who's liable to physical violence, after all you don't want to risk the embarrassment of going out to 'hit me baby one more time', do you! And if you like Queen, and you give your lass the choice of one of their songs, make sure she hasn't got a sense of humour other wise you might get 'another one bites the dust', while the curtains are closing.

After I've popped my clogs and had my funeral, I reckon it'd be a nice gesture to our lass to have me stuffed and brought back home, and laid on the settee. I've mentioned this idea before to her and she said 'well at least there wouldn't be much difference to when you were alive!

With a sense of humour like that there's no way I'd risk letting her pick the songs!

What song would YOU pick?

Genius

I'll be cremated, so I'll have Fire by Crazy World of Arthur Brown, followed by Religion by Front 242 (chorus is a guttural Belgian scream of "Let me burn you, let me burn you, let me burn you down")

On a serious note, I reckon I'll have Agnus Dei from Faure's Reqiuem. I want to be sent off to heaven in style and there is no Reqiuem music to compare with that. It raises the hairs on my neck every time I hear it.

Without a doubt, the track by Sinead O'Connor at the end of Veronica Guerin film, "One More Day".

If you were stuffed your friends might be tempted to take you to the Keepmoat one last time. If the game was like the last one you'd probably still walk out after 70 minutes.

I would like generally uplifting stuff at my funeral, so stuff like "Bill is Dead" by The Fall and "Frou Frou Foxes" by The Cocteaus. I'm sure "Jerusalem" would also feature somewhere.

'Remember the Good' by Roy Orbison if I could change the main line to 'for all HE meant to me I'll remember the good' as opposed to 'all SHE'... Beautiful song and well worth looking up on youtube if you don't know it!

Swap shes and hers to hes and hims and it'd work.

There is something in choosing an upbeat happy tune like bring me sunshine, it's in the same tradition of playing trad jazz down in the Deep South of the USA. Always look on the bright side of life? Maybe.
