What would you have played at your funeral?

Bat out of hell?

Sweet child of mine?

I think I'd go for Twisting by the pool by Dire Straits, just for the fun of it.

The ones 'for a giggle' for me would be;

Bernard Cribbins 'The Hole'

Harry Belafonte 'The Banana Boat Song' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joa3WiXDuEg) (just something about it :lol: )

Yazz 'The Only Way Is UP!' (don't like the song but, hey!!)

Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band 'Graveyard Shift' (top tune & one of my favourite CDs; 'The Mountain')

The Meteors 'You Can't Keep A Good Man Down' (from the 'Meteor Madness' EP)

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I wanted the 'Post Horn Gallop' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meM3CT7QMbY) to walk out of the Church to, when we got married.

I was out voted though (for some reason) :cry:  :?

SWMBO and I left the ceremony to "Let's face the music and dance" by Nat King Cole.  No, really, it was her idea.  We also had a reading of "How to Look After Your Husband" from a 1950's "Good Housekeeping" that had the guests in stitches.

For the funeral?  "When I'm Old And Wise", by the Alan Parsons project is the serious suggestion.

Otherwise... hmm...   "Running Free" by Iron Maiden seems like a good idea.   "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd might also work.   Or insist on a cremation and have "Great Balls of Fire".

Nothing else Matters - Metallica - At the end

2nd...

For introduction, I'd Have Freebird by Lynard Skynard (the full 9 minutes)

In the middle, boy george (Jaunty, and yet so slightly camp)

As the coffin disappears - Buring ring of fire by whoever did it.

Metallica as above to end.

Eric Clapton did an ace version of that one.  I think its a traditional song (no-one knows who wrote it).

I like the idea of 'Always look on the bright side' as an intro.

and Eric Claptons' 'Edge of Darkness', an instrumental masterpiece as loud as possible so that when it kicks in it may even revive me!

Ring Of Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4KKuWg7_4Q)

The idea for the Mexican trumpets supposedly came to him in a drug-induced dream.
When he suggested it in the recording studio, they all thought he'd got nuts, but can you imagine it without them now??

As i go in i think "jesus built my hotrod - minstry" cos everyone i know hates it, then during the buriel it would have to be "Adagio For The Strings - Samuel Barber" as its one hell of a piece of music!

Title: Funeral song
Post by: old joe on October 03, 2006, 20:54:47

i agree with adagio for strings a most moving musical motiv!!!

The poor old chap died in September 2003, officially of complications due to Diabetes.
His wife  June had died a few months previously, so the family still think it was basically a 'broken heart'.
