Makween Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'd like to be cremated and have the Countdown music played as the coffin goes into the fire. It'd be quality, especially if the "ding" at the end could be made to coincide perfectly with me hitting the fire. Other than that, probably "I Will Survive" or "Staying Alive".

geddy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I would suggest that you learn how to spell Lynyrd Skynyrd before you pop yer clogs! I was at a mates funeral recently and he went to the strains of "Rock n roll damnation" by AC/DC! Thought that an excellent choice. However it goes without saying I rather he was still around and I hadn't heard it yet! Another mate down south had "the overture" from 2112 by Rush playing when he came into the crematorium. Interesting to see who the rock fans were at the service as you saw very restrained heads bobbing up and down trying not to be noticed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Would have to make an entrance of some sort, Ride of the Valkyries or something.... Other than that...Teenage Kicks, Eva Cassidy's Songbird and no funeral is complete without some Manilow....Can't Smile Without You or maybe Copacabana....Ooh, and Counting Crows Mr Jones...and Buddy Holly's Everyday. It would be a cheery affair. And if I die young, I want it noted that everyone who attends must wear a Hearts scarf and sing the Hearts song, complete with solos from my dad & brother cos they're hobos.

Jarhead Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Instructions for my funeral, 1- Don't go wasting my money on an expensive box that is about to go up in flames. You can stick me in a paper bag for all I'll care. 2- Everyone must sing Abide with me with gusto. I'll be watching from Heaven/Hell and anyone not giving it big licks is getting haunted. 3- I don't give a monkeys ass whether permission is granted or not, I want my ashes scattered on the slopes of Tynecastle Park. All pretty moot though as i feel particularly omnipotent today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'd probably go for Dick Gaughan's version of Now Westlin Winds or Kingdom Come Sunrise.

scott herbertson Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=euaH8mUiFHs Here is transfusion in all it's splendour - banned on release because of its rather graphic lyrics and slightly sick message. If we're having sandy Denny playing I would definitely opt for Full Moon, from the Who Knows box set. With Acker Bilk (yes, Acker Bilk) on clarinet it is a surprisingly beautiful and tasteful coda to her sadly short life. It would make a nice contrast to transfusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
