If you could choose 1 song to be played at your funeral.......

[Silverhatch]

Mate of mine who died young at 34 came into the church (in his box) to Club Tropicana by Wham! Lots of laughter and tears.

The obvious choices would be-
Firestarter - Prodigy (for cremations)
Final Countdown - Bon Jovi

I might go for Imagine, by that John Lennon geezer.. guaranteed to get anyone teary, however hard they try not to..


Though it has to be Let it Be.. (revenge for, and a long standing joke, with some friends of mine..)

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

'Goodbye to Albion' Colin Bass (Camel)
'Comfortably Numb' Roger Waters live with Snowy White.

 

[desprateseagull]

actually, one of these..

 

[jharris]

Don't stop me now, Queen

 

[somerset]

Sunset - played by the Royal Marines Band (using my connections to engage them ahead of time of course)

 

[Camicus]

Spirit of the age by Hawkwind. Although I have given Mrs C strict instructions not to hold a funeral just drag me out in to the street someone will move me when I start rotting

 

[Shy Talk]

Brothers in Arms- Dire straites and Samba Pa Ti- Santana at my bash, please.

 

[somerset]

Samba Pa Ti- Santana at my bash, please.

Oooooo... can I have that too,.... if I can have two of course.

 

[Seagull58]

Anarchy in the UK is written into my will for my entry, with Tommy Gun by The Clash as I burn.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Knockin on Heaven's Door?

 

[maltaseagull]

Shine on you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd I know it's been done before but I love the track. (Even though i probably wouldn't be hearing it lol)

 

[mlg57]

Here I Go Again by Whitesnake just for the opening line " I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been."

 

[Boroseagull]

This

Mark Knopfler - GOING HOME: THEME OF THE LOCAL HERO - (Guita - YouTube

 

[Fountainhead]

I think I would go for a football chant motif and get the congregation singing along:

'We can see you sneaking out' or 'Youre not singing anymore' would do.

 

[8ace]

What would you choose??

For me it would have to be Annie's Song - John Denver

If you are planning on buying the farm anytime soon could you settle our wager first

 

[jevs]

Confortably numb followed by Im forever blowing bubbles and i might even squeeze a chorus or two of Good ol Sussex by the sea.

Everyone would have something claret and blue to wear

 

[banjo]

Another one bites the dust. Queen

 

[The Modfather]

Got 2 for mine in my will, Always look on the bright side of life by Monty Pythons and at the end, Ring of fire by Jonny Cash as the curtains come round the box.

I had ring of fire played at my dads funeral 2 weeks sgo
