What songs do you played at your funeral

[El Presidente]

"I know it's over": The Smiths

"Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam" Nirvana

 

[rool]

disco inferno

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

"My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion, super extended version.

Bollocks - it's not like I have to listen to it.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Good thread, if a touch morbid. Definitely Abide with Me because of its football associations, but none of the gloomy death march type organ music, doesn't help anyone IMHO.

 

[On the Left Wing]

"Sit on My Face And Tell Me That You Love Me"

 

[Gazwag]

GOSBTS

 

[CHAPPERS]

Going Underground - The Jam
End of the World - Super Furry Animals

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

" Motor City Spirit " by Steve Morse.

Should shatter all the stained glass windows if played loud enough !

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Elgar's Nimrod
Abide With Me
GOSBTS?

 

[Northstander]

"See ya later alligator!"

 

[David Bellotti]

Do You Think I'm Sexy

 

[Trufflehound]

I think a medley of George Formby ukulele classics would capture the spirit of the occasion quite nicely:
Oh Mr Woo, Leaning on a Lamp Post, When I'm Cleaning Windows...

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

Land of Hope and Glory, as the procession marches slowly up the Mall and along Whitehall.

Nessun Dorma as we enter Westminster Cathedral.

Probably finish with The Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum) by the Cheeky Girls as my coffin is lowered to its final resting place in Highgate Cemetery.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Carry Me by the Levellers?

 

[Gritt23]

"Sometimes it snows in April" by Prince.

The wife has been told many times so I fully expect it.

Think it'll be nice if everyone leaves to "Sussex by the Sea", and if we are still waiting for a new ground then I would like to replace a hymn with a resounding rendition of "Build a Bonfire."

 

[Scotty Mac]

tubular bells - the exorcist theme

 

[Seagull Stew]

"Rooster" by Alice In Chains

Ain't Found A Way To
Kill Me Yet
Eyes Burn With Stinging
Sweat
Seems Every Path Leads Me To
Nowhere
Wife And Kids And Household Pet
Army Green Was No Safe Bet
The Bullets Scream To Me From Somewhere

Here They Come To f*** The Rooster
Yeah Here Come The Rooster
You Know He Ain't Gonna Die

Walkin' Tall Machine Gun Man
They Spit On Me In My Homeland
Gloria Sent Me Pictures
Of My Boy
Got My Pills 'Gainst
Mosquito Death
My Buddy's Breathin'
His Dyin' Breath
Oh God Please Won't You Help
Me Make It Through

 

[Titanic]

How about the theme tune to 'Beadles About' - that'll keep them guessing !!

or more seriously, One Step Beyond by Madness

or Straight to Hell by The Clash,

or Knocking on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan

or Light My Fire by the Doors

plus some great traditional hymns...

The day thou gavest Lord is ended,

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation,

and Thine be the Glory.

I only wish I could be there to enjoy it all !!
