Boomstick Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Seems people are dropping like flies at the moment, got me thinking about my funeral and how I'd like it. I'd want folk to be celebrating my life...but I want them crying as well. I'd have that played as people arrive with this: When they burn me. What about you Kickback? Minus points for saying the Hearts song...maybe you would but face it, that's not particularly interesting. Plus points for saying Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue.

Tazio Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 This topic normally has people quickly mentioning things like Burn Baby Burn and Highway To Hell. I've already picked one, Baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini for people leaving. A happy wee tune that makes me smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nh49a8q2E4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.N.T.H. Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 These Streets - Paolo Nutini Not particularly interesting, but it has a big sentemental value to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohEkwknA-ss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
