Which song would you like played at your funeral?

**dohupa** · November 27th, 2009, 11:31 AM

I recall a great episode from Six Feet Under where there was this biker who passed away and his friends arranged and thrown a great hard-rock party at the funeral house.

For any not familiar with SFU, it was a TV show with themes the conservative lot that runs media down here where I live, would not dare airing it prior to 3am in the morning.

Anyway, kinda sad come to think of it - but we all gotta go sometime. So if I go first, I'd like to have everything arranged for this guy to play at my funeral my favorite song ever.

Despite everything's been said about Morrissey, the Queen is Dead is at the top 5 LPs ever made.

For a cremation ....... "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

Ok, I`m not dead serious about this thread, maybe there`s no music at all on my funeral. But IF I could choose one track to played, then....
As much I like few old metalbands, Motörhead, Morbid Angel, Carcass I also love dub-reggae , late 70s punk, and bluegrass.
So It`s got to be Venom`s "Warhead", not because of adding stupid teen-humour to this thread, just because It`s the song with THE guitar-riff and lyrics are...erm, humorously cool. And It`s downtempo-track so It`s perfect for funeral, and my last desperate attempt to avoid heaven, place full of tv-evangelists and dull happy people eating porridge and health-cookies.

The haunting theme from Betty Blue...a great piece of music and a superb film.

"When I Get to the Border" by Richard Thompson

For me it has to be Time by Pink Floyd because I think the lyrics sum life up really, especially as you get older and maybe have regrets about what you should have done with your life but never did.
