you're only allowed 2 at your funeral (unless you turn it into a disco) one when people walk in and one when everybodies leaving.
abide with me they'll all be asleep before the vicars finished think about it this is the moment when you have a chance to make everybody have a couple of minutes to think of you before they all go on the beer

[bigcumba]

I'm serious about my choices... though given I want to be cremated, maybe I should have chosen Fire by the Crazy World Of Arthur Brown... another good one would have to be The End by the Doors....

[Fadetoblack]

i'm 100% serious.

[silax]

:pk1
i only did it for a laugh :rolleyes:

[MarcusMel]

If I'm dead I wont care what music ,if any, is played, Me being dead is somebody else's problem.

[John]

Oasis - Live Forever

[Fadetoblack]

There was a girl I once knew...she had a terminal illness and planned out her own funeral. They played walking on sunshine for her...I don't think I'd be able to pick a cheery song because it just doesn't seem right.

The theme from Forrest Gump is my all time favourite score of any movie and it really can reduce a grown man to tears and if I was to have that played at a funeral the place would be flooded...

I would like people to check out the track I did select though..."honor him" and listen to it, imagining the scene of a funeral...I think it's really powerful and that would definitely be my choice.

[Ruby]

Queen..."who wants to live forever" from Kind of Magic album
...not as a joke, but it's actually very brill :)

[GlosRFC]

It would have to be (Edit:- sorry Gloss can't alow these links through)

There really is only ONE song to be played at any funeral.....The Smiths--There is a light that never goes out. God dammit that is one great song.............

Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and i
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their
Home, and I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh god, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and i
Just couldn’t ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one, da ...
Oh, I haven’t got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out


Morrissey and Marr at their very best

Thats one of my favourite Smiths songs too - not sure about it for a funeral though!

[mathare]

Surely any Smiths song is suitable for a funeral

They wrote some great songs but they were a miserable bunch
