What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

[GHT]

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. The Platters version If I'm going to be cremated; and if I'm to be buried then maybe Wake Me Up before You Go Go.

The Platters is an excellent choice for a cremation, not sure about that Wam song though.

I shall be buried, and as the coffin is lowered Status Quo will belt out: "Down, down, deeper and down."

 

[W-D Forties]

Mine is 'Do you realise?' by The Flaming Lips. Lovely song.

The song, "I'm Pau" (Means I'm done, finished) seems apropos. It's also a quite fetching tune. I think The Blue Hawaiians do it best.

I would like "Both Sides Now" to be played.

"I've looked at life from both sides now
From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all."

Joni or Judy? I listened to Mitchell's original the other day and just marveled at how brilliant it is.

Born To Be Wild, my favorite song ever.

 

[CaramelSmoothie]

"Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum, lol.


Just joking! I have no idea this is something I have to think about.

I hope folks will take whatever money I leave and throw a pretty good party. They can sit around telling stories about me...how I grilled a pretty good steak, was a good glove and could sometimes hit a little, and that I wasn't the worst guitar picker they ever heard. If we want to get into funeral type songs, I'll offer the following (and some of my friends can eve play for themselves):

Townes Van Zandt: "To Live Is To Fly"

Don't Say Goodnight by The Jon Butcher Axis. Back when I was making compilation tapes for friends I would always include that tune.
