I want a happy song.

Sam988 · 07-09-2007, 06:26 AM

Wont even think about that.

Ak47 · 07-09-2007, 07:58 AM

"Man in the Box" - Alice in Chains.

\m/

Mike Elias · 07-13-2007, 04:14 AM

Highway to Hell
Little Wing
Free Bird

In that order.

MariaG · 07-13-2007, 08:02 PM

LOL Billy! In the Python vein, how about "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"? (dodo dodododododoooo)

XeutonMojukai · 07-13-2007, 08:16 PM

I think Claire de Lune, by Claude Debussy.

~ David

The David · 07-14-2007, 09:53 PM

I think 'Harvest' by Opeth would be very appropriate for my body's funeral.

Andrew Brunelle · 07-14-2007, 10:12 PM

"I Will Survive" or "It's Rainin' Men." I want my funeral to be light-hearted.

OnionJack · 07-16-2007, 05:20 AM

Play Bagpipes.

moviestar · 07-17-2007, 01:38 PM

"To The Unknown Man" by Vangelis during the funeral and lowering the coffin,
after that when they bury me up "Look at the bright side of life" by Eric Idle.

joelyle · 07-20-2007, 08:07 PM

sympathetic and up-lifting at the same time...

MichaelPaul · 07-21-2007, 05:19 PM

Into the West by Annie Lennox from The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King soundtrack

It may change, but for now the Chemical Brothers, Star Guitar

MSC2471 · 07-27-2007, 05:20 AM

I'd probably request my favorite song of all time:

Kansas- Dust In The Wind

Makes me teary eyed every time I hear it.

Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Quote:

Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.

I guess we’ll just have to adjust.

With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’ to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’
With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am go-goin’

You better look out below!

Weezer - Island in the Sun

Quote:

When you’re on a holiday
You can’t find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

hip hip
hip hip

When you’re on a golden sea
You don’t need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore

hip hip
hip hip
hip hip

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad any more

Hip Hip

(hip hip)
We’ll never feel bad anymore
(hip hip)
no no
(hip hip)
We'll never feel bad anymore
(hip hip)
no no
(hip hip)
We'll never feel bad anymore
(hip hip)
(hip hip)
No No
(hip hip)
We'll never feel bad anymore

(hip hip)
No No

I was going to say Free Bird, that would be awesome. My favorite though, would be Alive by Pearl Jam. The lyrics would go perfect with a funeral, and that guitar solo would elevate anyone into a higher state of consciousness.

songwriter · 07-28-2007, 05:29 PM

I've always thought of Status Quo, "Whatever you want".. it would be a funny one. But well, I don't know if I'm gonna have a funeral... I wouldn't like too, that's why I would choose that one, to cheer them up and make them go away.

Maybe I'll write something like Paul McCartney has done, the difficult thing would be to perform it. :-)

Steven Moros · 07-29-2007, 09:37 AM

Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer".

Sleeping Dude · 07-29-2007, 12:09 PM

i want my funeral to be silent

TopGunMaverick · 07-29-2007, 01:32 PM

I don't think one song is enough for my funeral

.

Thriller and Off The Wall album by Michael Jackson will be played.

And Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen.

Craig · 07-29-2007, 03:48 PM

I'm going to be buried in my funny pants, making any song played irrelevant.

Peter S C · 07-29-2007, 06:25 PM

My favorite suggestion so far in this thread is The Doors - Break on Through.

I'm tempted to be sent off with lots of people dancing. Underworld - Cowgirl would do the trick....

This is the kind of track selection I would choose for a funeral; something upbeat, put a smile on people's faces. Everyone is already in a somber mood. Choosing a sad song would only add to the somberness. The WORST song that someone ever played at a funeral was Radiohead's "How to disappear completely." This is the most depressing song ever. If you just won the lottery and this song played, you'd feel very bad and probably start crying. This song should be banned from all funerals

sakredkow · 07-31-2007, 03:22 AM

I think my choice right now is Walk Don't Run by the Ventures. Something about that silly little piece of music that goes right into my bones. It just sounds what my life feels like! Exciting, driven, a little mysterious... Yeah, Walk Don't Run. But ask me again next month.

fballer11 · 08-08-2007, 01:51 AM

"Tell me when to go", E-40

No?

Anyone represent the bay?

fballer11 · 08-08-2007, 01:53 AM

Or 2PAC, "Hit em up"

Asmoday · 08-08-2007, 03:28 PM

Great thread.

Interesting to watch some people's reactions...

There are two:

1) To Live is to Die, by Metallica
2) Sympathy for the Devil, Rolling Stones
