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
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.

I don't want some sad funeral

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!

He probably wants to take as many with him as he possibly can...
Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
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.

Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
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.
Abandon all hope.
Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
I want the following at my funeral:
Hallowed be thy Name - Iron Maiden
Just Killing Time - Black Label Society
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life - Monty Python
In honour of the strife of those who've died
In generations before for your blood stained glory
I reject you
I deny you
I defy you to continue
Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
Songs:
More Time to Kill or Vigil by the band Lamb of God
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
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...
Yes, Iraq is peaceful. Go to sleep now. - Adrian II

Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
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?
Dead! - My Chemical Romance
Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
And I thought no one listened to Lamb of God.
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.)

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
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.
Re: What song should be played on your funeral?
Excellent choice, Alexander.
