What song would you like played at your funeral?

**Keiko** · 07-03-2008 09:07 PM

I don't know if this is anything new but, it was news to me yesterday while listening to KPOI, FM, which is a classic rock station here in Hawaii. Apparently people in Australia are doing this and having tunes like "Another One Bites The Dust" and "Highway To Hell" played at their funeral.

So here's your chance. If you wanted 1 song played at your funeral to be remembered by, what would it be?

Nice morbid thread. :)

The song is "Do That To Me One More Time" :D

Either "Disturbing the Priest" by Sabbath, or "Judas is Rising" by Priest:p
And the service would have to be in the MOST conservative Irish Catholic parish in Bahstahn!

Traditional, thank you.

I don't ever want a funeral...a total wast of money. If you want to come visit me and bring me flowers do it NOW when I'm alive. And don't buy me flowers...buy me beer.

Actually, they don't. As your skin and flesh begin to decompose, they pull in toward the body, making it look like the hair & fingernails are growing, but they're not.

Why do I know this???

by the way, my funeral choice, Mozart's Requiem Mass, whole thing, or just either the Lacrimosa or Offertorium..................over my 2 channel rig...........which might be buried with me

or, on a lighter note, Party Hard by Andrew WK

Very familiar w/ Keali'i Reichel and that title NotaSuv.

**disneyjoe7** · 07-04-2008 01:43 AM

Free Bird :) if something needs to be played.

**mrbigbluelight** · 07-04-2008 01:43 AM

Three tunes:

1. Amazing Grace
2. Just as I Am
3. A Mighty Fortress is Our God

As F1 mentioned, "Traditional" is the key word.
A YouTube search of these songs will show a lot of different versions; most singers will attempt to add their "interpretation" which is, to say the least ....
.... less than desired.

I had heard something or another that hair and fingernails continue to grow even after death but, you're probably correct BF.

Why do we know this? Cuz, we are just a wealth of useless information. ;)
