Song You Want Played At Your Funeral?

Was giving this a serious think today, and decided on Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. Just think it's a great song even decades after it was made n I want people to listen to something cool as my glass coffin is lowered into the ground (I'm naked inside it btw).

oasis - live forever: I choose this as a joke song, im dead but any song about living forever has to be worth the crack right?

blur - jubilee: that song symbolises my life "jubilee slouches in his settee, losing all will to move.. he gone divvy too much telly he watching 24 hours of rubbish" http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yq1-H95A8wY check out the video from totp 1994 bout 3 mins in

gorrilaz - feel good inc: I just want everybody to feel happy.. and this song makes me happy

alpha ville - forever young
pixes - where is my mind
almost any song from elliot smith

those are the top 3 I can think of, in no particular order

Jazzy Jeff Owes Me Fourty Quid - Test Switch Isolator

adrenaline rush soundtrack

"Killed By Death" Can't remember who it's by, think its Slayer. lol
That'd be a good one.

Dropkick Murphys - Heroes From Our Past

hell, I dont care what song it is, as long as Dropkick plays at my funneral, I dont care, it would be one big free show, welcoming all

why dropkick? becasue going to dropkick shows is basicly the only time me and my brother bond.. plus, dropkick, who wouldnt want them at your funneral?

Band Of Horses - "Funeral"

Sigur Ros - "Glosoli"

Cloud Cult - "Transistor Radio"

The Pokemon theme song.

pure white noise for 8 hours.

Same as ray, The Funeral would fit so well.

or

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

I'm dead what do I care, but I think I would like people to hear Caring is Creepy by The Shins



EDIT:: well probably anything by this band actually, they do good funeral songs.

that would be sick.



mine would be, bullet in the head-rage against the machine, I think u know y.

Most likely "Ass and Titties" by DJ Assault.

Drew...
If I outlive you...I'll do the dance at your funeral man.

The unforgiven 2 by metallica.

May favourite band and the lyrics probably suit the occasion, I decided on this song about four years ago and I still back it! Such an epic, epic song.

All my friends are dead-turbonegro

I am bringing my friends dow with me.

Blurry - puddle of mud

And scott wants that song that was in the O.C when they shoot that dude or whatever. The really high pitch melodic one.

running up that hill - placebo

life goes on by 2pac
casue even though im gone,the people who I know shouldnt be sad and just keep my life as a memory

Cuppycake Song - Strawberry Shortcake

I will always have the high score on this, and having it playing when I'm buried will reinforce that.

New Found Glory - Better Off Dead

I'd want the biggest speaker they could find to play "brown noise" as they lower my coffin

lol.


Hello my Lionel Richie, or the cover my incubus, both will do.

Free Bird - Skynyrd

/thread

Yeah if you want everyone to get bored and walk out.

Will Smith - Men In Black
Will Smith - Get Jiggy with It
Will Smith - Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
Silverstein - Already Dead
Silverstein - Here Today Gone Tomorrow
Silverstein - Bodies & Words
Say Anything - Died A Jew
Say Anything - An Insult To The Dead
Paramore - Hallelujah
Weezer - This Is Such A Pity
Enter Shikari - Today Wont Go Down In History
Shaggy - Why Me Lord?
Shaggy - Not Fair

The tune from pacman when you die, either that or mario or sonic.



I think all those would suit nicely at a funeral.

I don't want a funeral/service, whatever. I just want to be cremated and then unknowingly fed to someone or something like that.

like Scott tenermans parents??

lol



I honestly couldn't care less what song is being played when I'm dead. It's not like I will get any last minute feelings of joy before I'm lowered into the soil

But IF I could stick around and listen to a song I think I could go happily out with any of these songs:

The Ataris - Looking Back on Today. This song always makes me slightly happier when I listen to it.
Johnny Cash - Hurt. Not really, but if I had lead a shitty life which I hope I won't this would be perfect.
CKY - Don't Hold Your Breath. It's either this or Close Yet Far but this one's more death related and slightly more beautiful.
Van Halen - Right Now. Haha how awesome wouldn't this be. My casket would slowly be carried in surrounded by a thick theatrical fog and purple strobe lighting by Luke Skywalker, Knight-Rider, Axl Rose, Eddie Murphy, the 1980s Edmonton Oilers and a Ninja Turtle. Would be perfect for an 80s kid like me

I can't really be bothered to think more of my own funeral right now ask me again in 65 years
