Which Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral?

[Scarlet Daisy]

I'd like "Life Is A Cabaret" played at my funeral, although I have toyed with "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. (imagine the scene, everyone looking at my coffin and Michael Stipe singing "That's me in the corner...etc". ).

When I asked my middle son Steven he quickly replied "Going Underground" by the Jam.

Most people seem to have some idea what they would like played at their funeral and not all of them have to be funny... So what's your choice?

 

[brummie lad]

i would have either live forever by oasis or But Honestly by the foo fighters, me and my friends was talking about this the other day after too many beers lol

 

[appleshape]

I joke about having Going Underground or Sympathy for theDevil played at my funeral. I think I'd have The No Seatbelt song by Brand New

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

The 69 Eyes - Beneath The Blue.
Some of the lyrics seem fitting enough.
Although I guess it'll be up to my family what is played haha

 

[purplekei]

Well isnt this a cheerful thread lol

 

[G-Man]

I have chosen You'll Never Walk Alone to be played at mine.

At my aunt's recent funeral they played If Tommorow Never Comes by Garth Brooks and there wasnt a dry eye about the place.

One Day.

it's a bluegrass gospel song by Blue Highway.

I am not a religious person as such, but I'd like to believe there is something more, and this bittersweet song more or less sums how I'd want people to feel about my death.

Freebird by lynard skynard

I would probably have a load of bluegrass. Dobro stuff. Dobro is my life's passion. I'd like to buried with my dobro bar and picks.

[Phoenix65]

National Express by The Divine Comedy

 

[big bear]

reach for the stars - s club 7

 

[Hazeltree]

Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica

 

[Auburn]

My first thought when I saw this thread was "Shot Through The Heart" by Bon Jovi... that'd wake people up... haha. Probably not the best choice..!

My dad took me to one side when I was 14 and told me he wanted Freebird. That was quite upsetting for a 14 yo kid to deal with! He's still alive n kicking too...!

Louis Armstrong - Wonderful World. Has to be that version. Maybe something Frank Sinatra. My Way... Which could be mixed with Limp Bizkit's My Way... haha. No idea...
I don't really know.. I know I don't want everyone in black though at my funeral.

 

[QueenMarzo]

I am definately going to have 'If you don't know me by now' lol.

 

[CalicoSoneji]

i would have free bird - lynard skynard!

 

[moonlite]

I would have "Somewhere over the rainbow" by Judy Garland as the film is my favourite ever
