First would be a the Clash Straight to hell


Then Cremate me ,chuck it in the dung spreader and spread on the field.

1. Ha - I never did get round to learning to play the guitar.
2. I never did cycle the Alps, Pyrenees or Dolomites.
3. What a stupid way to go - I knew that I should have called the GP out last week!

Thanks for sharing that Colin and hopefully you achieve or have achieved 1 and 2, and if there is a next time that you bear number 3 in mind!

Not in anyway religious, but these may satisfy those who are

Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band
(not sure that 'Copperhead Road' by Earle, with The Dukes' would be appreciated.....)




Or, for more entertainment/toe-tapping......................




Alison Kraus, with her version of 'Down To The River'
Again, I have no religious views at at all, I consider myself Agnostic, but this sends a shiver through me (probably the beauty of her singing)

Under consideration;

- Elgar, & 'Nimrod', from the 'Enigma Variations'
- 'Carnival Of The Animals' better known as the Fred Dibnah music

- this definitely a 'toe-tapper'!!!

Just a lone piper wailing a sad lament followed by a 21 gun salute by men with concealed faces who then fade into the crowd before The Man turn up.

I have informed Mrs Knees that I would like 'Dude Looks Like A Lady' by Aerosmith - a song I have no real feelings towards, in a style I don't really care for - just so people will be able to speculate as to whether or not they were supposed to play that or not afterwards - saves people having to think of small talk.

Thanks for sharing that Colin and hopefully you achieve or have achieved 1 and 2, and if there is a next time that you bear number 3 in mind!

Progress report:

1. I am still staring across the room at the guitar and thinking that I should pick it up and have a go!
2. I am making good progress with my fitness so hopefully I will ride the big mountains before I get too old to enjoy them.
3. Er, I got ill a second time, a year after the first time, and I hesitated again about seeing the doc. My sister got exasperated with me and dragged me off to her local A&E where tests confirmed what I had suspected but had been in denial about. Is there no end to my stupidity? (Well, there might be, but I haven't found it yet! )

Some people never learn!

Is there no end to my stupidity?)

More seriously...

My brother was a Kirsty McColl fan, and the coffin "withdrew" to Days

I want a decent Christian burial with all the hymns but this at the end please.

Sorry wrong thread it was meant for the heavy metal one.

The other thing is that songs at funerals can give a whole new insight to songs

A friend of ours had this at his funeral




In the context of a funeral, it is a whole new meaning to the song
