Your funeral song choices

[dirtydan]

What three songs would you like played at your funeral? Doesn't matter what kind of songs.

For me my three would be:

This Land Is Your Land, by the Travellers
Canadian Railway Triology, by Gordon Lightfoot
Hi-De-Ho That Sweet Roll, by Blood Sweat and Tears

 

[Arizona40]

Hair of the Dog by Nazareth

 

[Oldfart]

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by Eric Idle

 

[georgebushmoron]

Singing in the Rain

 

[hitrack]

To quote braveheart. I would like outlawed tunes played on outlawed pipes.

 

[Quarter Mile'r]

"Rush".........The Trees.
And............Closer to the Heart.

Was there any songs done for drag racing or flyfishing?


...............QM'r

 

[The Happy Tapper]

Take just the opening 30-second organ sequence from Ozzy's "Mr. Crowley" and loop that a dozen times. When the services are about to begin, have the organs lead into "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue.

And maybe, on the way out when it's all done, "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas.

Yeah, they're weird choices for music, but it's all about you, right?

My funeral playlist...

"Soul Bossa Nova (Austin Powers' Theme)" by the Quincey Jones Orchestra (played as I'm wheeled in)

The rest of these played in some random order:

Yes, we know that, but judging by the funerals I've been to and the responses in this thread, blasting heavy metal at a funeral (no matter how mellow the music is) seems a little strange to me.

 

[wolverine]

- "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen
- "Asshole" by Dennis Leary
- lots of wailing by a group of old Middle-Eastern women on their knees and tearing at their robes.

 

[thehaggler]

i go with anything old by eric clapton

 

[dbrw42]

"Stairway to Heaven" Led Zeppelin
"Highway to Hell" AC/DC

This way, I'm covered whichever way I wind up going.
