Best funeral songs

[Pussy]

Judy Garland.

Weigh a pie...

[Big Dave]

Weigh a pie...

What's way up high?

[Oakie]

'Always look on the bright side of life.' - Eric Idle.

Instructions have been left with my family for that to be played at the end of my service.

As for 'bad taste' ummmmmm ....... I dunno. I'm sure I can think of something but not just at the moment.

[Qkchk:Me]

Knockin on heavens door - G'N'R
I used to love her - G'N'R

And on a different note:

There's a blue sky waiting for me - Al Hunter
(originally a TV commercial that Al sang for AMP - you know the one with all the sundeck chairs floating across the screen ).....

[Pedrostt500]

When they plant me they can surprise me with what they choose.

[Disco Dan]

Inspired somewhat by a couple of recent threads. If you could be a fly on the wall at your own funeral, which songs would you pick for maximum comedic effect? Bad taste essential.

I think it somewhat depends on whether you\'re being cremated or buried, but:

• Chris Rea - Highway to Hell
• Doctor & the Medics - Spirit in the Sky
• If buried, to be played as the coffin descends:
  
  • Going underground - The Jam
  • Down down, deeper and down - Status Quo
• If cremated, to be played as the coffin slides into the oven
  
  • Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
  • Meat Puppets - Lake of Fire
  • I\'m on Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

Any more ideas?

Bye Bye Baby - Bay City Rollers

[Smokin]

REM = Everybody hurts

[Iggy]

John Lennon- IMAGINE

The lyrics says it all

Great songs, but I'd like to think of my fueral being a big party to celebrate things I've accomplished.

I should prolly start trying to acheive something, wonder if staying on my race bike for the rest of the season counts, given my recent efforts I'm pretty sure people would be proud of me not arsing off.

[Dave Lobster]

I'd like this..

[MIXONE]

My Way -The Johnny Rotten version
Riders On The Storm
Ghost Rider In The Sky.

OK then I know a good funeral song for you
THUNDERSTRUCK--AC/DC ?

[HenryDorsetCase]

My Way -The Johnny Rotten version
Riders On The Storm
Ghost Rider In The Sky.

I am almost certain you are thinking of the post Pistols Sid Vicious version of "My Way". And frankly, its a terrible terriblle travesty.

whatever, its your funeral

geddit.?

mine are "Pressure Drop" by Toots & the Maytals, "Break on Through" by the Doors, and "Rockaway Beach" by the Ramones.

Ooooohhh, good one! maybe the razors edge too for good measure. (I think it's not a bad commentry on todays society, but I have a habbit of missing the ppoint with these things.)

Listening to Godsmack as I type, and it's a bit bleak for celebrating life, but ideal for the cynics among us.
