Now while I know I'll be dead at the time and wont give a fuck either way but I would like to leave them all with a laugh so I want these played..


The Pouges. Streams Of Whiskey.
The Dubliners.. Seven Drunken Nights
and as they lower me down
Monty Python.. Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

So what songs would NS type people like??

amazing grace sung to the tune of gilligans island.

If I die doing something really dumb I'd like them to play Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid" at my funeral. If I die from drink and hard living, Dire Straits' "Heavy Fuel".

"Hail to California,"

"Finlandia,"

That's all I know for now

There will be no funeral or they will face my undead wrath!

Karn Evil 9

That old Spiritual that was on the movie Cool Hand Luke:

Ain't No Grave Gonna Hold my Body Down.

Nothing like vaguely zombie-like implications at one's own funeral. :D

Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand In Mine
Crackout - You Dumb Fuck (or maybe Over My Head)
Manic Street Preachers - This Is Yesterday
65daysofstatic - Radio Protector

For mine, I have no idea. But my boyfriend wants bagpipes, harmonicas and kazoos at his funeral. :p

Well you gotta have Kazoos !! It just would not be funeral otherwise..:D

Why not? You don't want the people who loved you in life to gather after you die to remember you together? That's all a funeral really is, after all.

Agreed!! But if anyone even tries to play James Cu... I mean.. Blunt. They will have to deal with my undead wrath...

*plots* ;)

*plots* ;)
I tought there were rules about personal threats on this fourm... *runs off to squeal*--;)

As I've said countless times before, "If You're Happy and You Know It". It they don't clap their hands, the machinery installed in my lifeless carcass will jerk my corpse upwards and have it yell "BE HAPPY, DAMN IT!".

Cemetary Gates by Pantera
Strength of the World or Chapter Four by Avenged Sevenfold

Decisions made purely with the intention of frightening people who attend my funeral. Idiots

Fuck 'em, they didn't see me when I was alive I'd say that ship has sailed by the time I'm all corpsified.

Deep Purple - Lazy.
Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.
Monty Python - Sit On My Face.
Bonzo Dog Band - Intro / Outro

'Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. :D

Cruel angel's thesis. Either that or Engel by Rammstein. Translation of the engel lyrics

"Those who live good on earth
Become an angel after their death
A look at the sky and you ask
Why we can't see them

First when the clouds go to sleep
They can see us in the sky
We have fear and are alone"

and the real reason I want it, the chorus.

"God knows I don't want to be an angel

God knows I don't want to be an angel

God knows I don't want to be an angel"

"In You"- MercyMe

scott joplins "maple leaf rag" alternated by "the entertainer" just repeating over and over again.

Fuck 'em, they didn't see me when I was alive I'd say that ship has sailed by the time I'm all corpsified.


Oh, I see. You have no friends. I'm sorry to hear that.

"One Winged Angel"

Considering most of the songs I know are from some video game or other, I'll pick out of those:
One Winged Angel - FF7 (I'd think this one would be obvious)
Magus' Theme - Chrono Trigger
Auron's Theme - FF10
and if they have time left
Liberi Fatali - FF8.

EDIT: :eek:
I got beaten to One Winged Angel!
Curses! :p
How about Kingdom Hearts' version of it then?

Easy. Thought of this years ago. 1812 Overture(full 15min version) with cannons and fireworks. Oh, and my body'll probably be cremated after being doused in gasoline. I was very emo back then...

Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun. Hah! This has been a running joke among my friends since the fourth grade or so.

After that?

A Perfect Circle - Thomas. Beautiful, heavy enough not to be a bummer, and bitter as all hell. That just about sums me up.

There will be no funeral, unless you count the bonfire they have for my cremation. I'm sure it's against some sort of health code, but screw 'em. I don't want an oven. I want a pyre, made of redwoods and antique furniture. Make it hot, so it incinerates me completely.

I don't want to return as a shrieking, gore-soaked zombie. Fuck that.

I have some ideas, but I'm thinking a Pibroch.

Perhaps some bagpipes playing as I am cast off burning into the sea, like a Viking duneral.

That would be awesome.

Perhaps I should be smiling and holding a royal flush in my hand as I go.

Violent Femmes -

Ya, now you'll just return to haunt us as a dry pile of ashes. At least a gore soaked zombie can hold things, and can resist vacuum cleaners.

The song for the closing parade at Southern California Renaissance Faire - sung by appropriately garbed people from St. Cuthbert's Guild.

A selection of songs from Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting album. And a selection of songs from Jethro Tull's Songs from the Wood.

That should confuse everyone.

They can play Johny Cash's Burning Ring of Fire at my cremation, oh, and Dead Mans Party by Oingo Boingo, because thats just a cool song no matter what the occasion.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd :)

"Embrace the Void' - By my band

"Highway to Hell" :D

I believe that The Ramones' Pet Semetary is pretty nice ;)

1, 2, 3, 4...

Die, Die, My Darling and Night of the Living Dead

(Misfits, of course)

The Halloween theme song! It would be played in a funeral home and when they start playing it the light will go off, and my casket will fling my body upon the morners! then the light will come back on and at the bottom of my casket will read "Ha ha, Gotcha!"

I want to go out with a joke!

Also, when my body is rolled into the Creamatory (I want to be cremated) a casette or MP3 player will play my voice saying 'Hey, I'm not dead, let me out! I'm on fire! *screams*

I have never given it a thought. Afterall, I'll be dead. What do I care? Let the living play whatever gives them comfort.

I want a jazz funeral--a dirge to the crematorium and dancing music on the way to the after party. And once I go up, nobody cries anymore--it's all a celebration of my life and memories of the fun.

You know, it really doesn't matter, cuz I'm DEAD!!!! weeee!!!!11

Ok, but if I had to choose... maybe some Paul Oakenfold or DJ Tiesto. :D

The Benny Hill theme.

The Benny Hill theme.

You win.

Die With Me - Type O Negative

~OR~

Something with bagpipes.

"Good Times Are Killing Me" by Modest Mouse.

Die With Me - Type O Negative


That's a great song.

The entire, 14 hour long live performance of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.

He he he...my kind of guy! :D

Monty Python - Sit On My Face.

Brilliant!

Great, now that song's gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Flame Trees by Cold Chisel

Under The Milky Way Tonight by The Church

Silver Bullets by Hot Rollers

Sleep The Clock Around by Belle & Sebastian

I'll Follow The Sun by The Beatles


That ought to be enough.


Edit: Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry

What would i like at my funeral?

Andante Cantabile - Rachmaninoff, played softly throughout the funeral interspersed with

My Jesus I Love Thee - Featherston, Gordon
O, For A Thousand Tongues - Wesley, Gläser, Mason
Great Big Wonderful God - or similar folk blues song
Whoever whishes to perform whatever;

finished with
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee - VanDyke, Beethoven, Hodges (or if i die wealthy, the last movement of Beethoven's 9th symphany arranged to chorale singing VanDyke forte, allegro, and focoso as people are leaving the building.)

At the wake: At least one play of "When We All Get To Heaven -- Hewitt, Wilson" to a (happy) heavy metal arrangement. Someone will invariably play, The Hampster Dance - Miller but i wont be there to be amused.
:)

Well, I'm gonna go with Shadow of Deth. Its psalm 23, metal style.

Going Underground - The Jam

Well I am planning to be cremated so it will be the Crazy World of Arthur Brown singing "I am the God of Hellfire and I bring you to burn... Fire" etc followed by the Platters and Smoke gets in your eyes.

A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth

Queen-who wants to live forever

Like I care. I'd rather be thrown in a ditch and remembered by those who care about me in their own way without any fanfare.

Hm. The lyrics don't really fit me. :p

But I dont have any songs about Aussie stoner metal heads.

Well, it's quite obvious that one needs to be written. :D

Im thinking some thing with a heavy tuning.

Probably "D", or maybe just a half-step down from E.

Plodding riffage, with a middle section in cut-time.

Everything thunderously loud.

Sympathy for the Devil, by the Stones.

Sleep the Clock Around is a good choice too.

I tune my guitar C F A# D# G C. I'd recommend that. :p

Ahh..bone-crushingly good.

Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom!

That and the longest version of Freebird that can be found, followed by 3 Minute Warning(which is about 30 mins long, despite the name). The doors will be locked, of course. Ain't nobody walking out of my funeal.

The Last Post.

Jesh, I can't believe no one else has mentioned:
Queen- Another One Bites the Dust

Though I wouldn't mind 'Come, Sweet Death' by Komm Susser Tod.

While the coffin is driven to the grave i want The Meteors - Slow down you graverobbing bastard to be played.
At the grave Bloodhound Gang's "Hell Yeah" would be nice.
