Re: What song should be played on your funeral?

I'd have to give this some thought, but:

For the procession
The Imperial March
(insert 18th/19th century Prussian march)

For the burial
Steh Auf! (Wenn Du Am Boden Bist) - Die Toten Hosen :laugh4:

For the service
Das Lied der Deutschen (all of it, especially the second stanza)
~~Boten Anna~~
Russian Navy Hymn
Master of Puppets - Metallica

Ooh, the Tatooine theme from Star Wars would be pretty good as well. The one that plays when Luke is looking into the twin suns.

Why not Last Exit by Pearl Jam? I bit strange but it works.

At least "The Heathen" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. :skull:

Explosive version --> "The Heathen" (Amandla Festival)

Second song from the clip (after "Crazy Baldheads"). Best chant ever.

I don't want some sad funeral

Monty Python - Always look on the bright side of life, it is for me
Now we're on funerals, I would also prefer speeches as they had on Graham Chapmans funeral, not sad, but happy and funny, it's not like the end of the world you know

I don't want people to be happy to my funeral; I want them to be sad that I'm dead and gone!

That's horrible luck, not to mention being awful to the people at the funeral.

The only proper funeral is a celebration, the last chance you have to be happy with someone.

Hence the New Orleans brass band playing "When The Saints Go Marching In."

Agreed. Funerals are celebrations of someone's life.

I make people sad enough by living, better serve them a party as a farewell.

I'd make a nice looking stripper (one from the babethread preferably) come out of my coffin and do a little show for everyones entertainment.

After that Irish coffee and spacecake for everyone.

Re: What song should be played on your funeral?

This thread reminds me, I'd better make an actual list someday, since I have an aunt who likes to select 'appropriate' music for family funerals, and i'd hate to think what she'd have playing at mine :embarassed:

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Comfortably Numb yet (Floyd version of course), I'd like that to be the opener I think.

Hmm, I've been looking for a good version of when the saints go marching in but can't find one, they're always upbeat from the start. I was at a concert last year where they played a version that started very slow and sad and then for the last minute or so picked up the pace, it was pretty amazing...

That actually sounds like a piece which we played in the Rotorua Symphonic Band which was called 'At a dixieland funeral' and started off morbid and ended up with when the saints go marching in.

As for me, not sure (far too many possibilities). But maybe something like:
I'll Be Around - Cab Calloway
Into the West - From the LOTR
Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me - Duke Ellington
Don't Get Around Much Any More - Duke Ellington
Minnie the Moocher - Cab Calloway
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Touriste d'une Vie - Paris Combo
Attraction - Paris Combo
Dombıra 1 (the only details I know about the song)
Cottage in the rain - Fats Waller
Toulouse - Claude Nougaro
Tu Verras - Claude Nougaro
Abi Gezunt (A Bee Gezindt) - Cab Calloway
I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise - Georges Guetary/George Gershwin

hmmm...
I had better stop there before I get too carried away. Maybe I should just turn my funeral into a music appreciation session since there is no way I would be able to narrow the music playing list to any less than 2 hours.

Re: What song should be played on your funeral?

I would add Vigil by Lamb of God onto my list. Have the end bit playing as my coffin burns. (In fact there it is in my signature.)

Re: What song should be played on your funeral?

Some excellent suggestions.

If I was feeling Puckish, I might go for "Last Show" by Reel Big Fish.

I'd probably like what the Reverend Gonzo suggests.
