AC/DC - highway to hell
Or
Shutup a your face

Hope - Dirty Three

no funeral thanks. Burn me then have a party.

same, neko, i've already told mum to lay lots of money on the bar

Sweetness and Light by Itch-E and Scratch-E

A hymn of some sort

Cut anything still operational out of my body, burn me & then scatter my ashes in my favourite Snowy Mountains stream for me...followed of course by a big party. MrsTripto is armed with my wishes of course.

One of the saddest moments ever for me was at a good friends funeral (suicide) where his younger brother played a song he'd written for him on harp...not a dry eye in the house.

Teenage cremation by Bob Hudson - off the now very old Newcastle Song album

I went to a freinds "burning" recently and as the coffin was being taken away they played a woeful Chris Deberg song. Now I figured it was the parents choice rather than my late friends. I thought at the time that if he was able to sit back and watch what was going on I'd have no doubt that he was pissing himself over tha fact that all his mates had to sit there a listen to the entire god awful thing.

I'll have AC/DC's Ride On and It's Gonna Rain by Gentleman June Gardner.

any love - ken stringfellow

at my grandmas funeral recently they played mul of kintyre and sailin by rod stewart

Three Days by Janes Addiction. No cunt better leave during it neither!!

Hallelujia by leonard cohen is probably a bit obvious these days.

my funeral song will be ''I want to see the bright lights tonight'' by Richard and Linda Thompson, preferably played by my children.

A friend of mine had a great Moody Blues song played at her funeral - can't remember what it was - but after the song finished, Venus in Furs came on.
that was great.

i remember someone used

When I Die by that boy band DAMN i can't remember their name though! it's a nice song. but yeah it just shows that people will always find music that's popular to shove it in.

i plan to have Schubert's Death and the maiden

and you'd better outlive mum, littlerach, cos I'm not holding my breath for how much money she'd put on a bar.

I'd probably have, Creedence Clearwater revival - Long as I can see the light.

feel the pain - dinosaur jnr

only cos i happen to be listening to it now.

a friend got carried out with:

• the pixies - where is my mind (surely quite popular?)
• public image ltd - order of death (agreed by all to be hideously inappropirate)
• the sundays - here's where the story ends (not a dry eye in the place)

inappropriate even

I want Rod Stewart's Rhythm of my heart and Tom Waits' Come on up to the house. Maybe not in that order.

Or this?

sigh

Ministry's cover of What a wonderful world. Look it up. 10/10

NOFX - We threw gasoline on the fire and now we have stumps and no eyebrows.

but only if I die by fire.

if my housemate ''Drazic'' kills me I want 99 problems but a bitch aint one.

If as someone said having a sad song is kinda selfish then I guess I'd love to go with ''Yakety Sax'' (as hipo said) or ''Ripped Pants'' Spongebob Squarepants & The Losers. Not sure if I'd want to go out to a novelty track, but I think my friends would find it hilarious (I have very fond memories of having very high fun to both of those tracks).

I'm going to a funeral tomorrow and I know what song they're going to play. It's going to be pretty sad.

I think you should have a celebratory song at a funeral, I think I'd like that. People seem to really want to be morbid at a funeral though. Maybe Walk On by Neil Young? That's kind of lame. I dunno. I don't want a song that'll make people cry...funerals are sad enough as it is.

I'd go to your funeral Trammy, and I'd cheer to those tunes

mine: ministry - TVII

and maybe 'no more workhorse blues' - palace brothers.

ghoti - Awww shucks! Nah I think I'd still go with something sad, but even what is 'sad' is complicated and subjective; listening to 3rd Planet by Modest Mouse and it would totally work- whether it fits most people's idea of what a sad song is I dunno.

Also, a couple of weeks I was discussing being buried in a Spongebob costume- again, my parents would hate it, but I think my friends would laugh it up as I'd want them to. :-D

Funeral songs are weird. My dad got carried out to Let It Be. I held up pretty well til the cunce dropped that bombshell...

I made a nice photo based timelime movie for my father in law's funeral last month. Even though I made it and knew what was coming, the track we chose from Yann Tierssen's Amilie soundtrack destroyed me.

Y'all Motherfuckers Need Jesus - Goddamn Gallows

Death Ain't Got No Mercy - Dax Riggs version

That, Not That - Penguin Cafe Orchestra

I Don't Need No Doctor - Ray Charles

Hold On I'm Coming - Same & Dave

Soul Finger - The Bar-Keys

five to consider:

the angels - am i ever gonna see your face again
the cows - shaking
neil young - dead man theme
five - everybody get up
swans - time is money

alice in chains - rain when i die (weather permitting of course...)
