Friday Night is 'Songs you would like to hear at your own funeral'.

[byegad]

Any tune will do so long as I can hear it!

Otherwise I'm toying with asking for Copeland's Fanfare for the common man as the box is brought in to the crematorium, an humanist eulogy and then Sailing by as I'm wheeled out. If there's time in the middle Louis Armstrong's version of What a Wonderful World, or La Vie en Rose.

JB's version is good, but this cover is even better.



I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
Crying as they ease you down
Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away

 

[Buck]

I'm going to be cremated so this one...

We played this at my mum's funeral. Beautiful song and still brings a tear to my eye - soppy sod that I am.

'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

 

[John the Monkey]

This one would do for me as well.

Dead Kennedy's version is better, imo, like.

Also, was Friday night Beatles night?

I'm surprised we've got this far without anyone mentioning that one of the most popular tracks played at funerals is about a rock musician dying of a heroin overdose.
