What music would you have played at your funeral?

yurt wrote:"There is a light that never goes out" by The Smiths. Because it is one of the best navel gazing love songs that I know.

I'd have that too but if that was too depressing the alternative would be Exit Music (for a film) by Radiohead.

Disappearing through the curtains to the chorus of "We hope that you choke, that you choke"

Oh Happy day, I love the thought of that song blaring out in a funeral parlour.

If I was female , I'd probably go for "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead"

As it is , I think it'd be quite cool to have all my friends dancing , and singing the last verse of "Na Na Hey Hey" ( "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye " over and over again ) as my coffin is carried down the aisle , and waving at it as it goes.

"Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine, with instructions to play it really loudly just to make sure I've definitely gone.

Or possibly "Live and Let Die" by G'n'R

My sense of humour works that way

But hey, I don't really care... it's not like I'll be listening. People playing music I don't like though will be subject to an eternity of computers that mysteriously do weird things

All the music from 2001:Space Odyssey would be quite good though.

The Specials, Long Shot Kick De Bucket

I'd probably go for the surrealist bent and go for some quality Aphex Twin. And not the melodic stuff.

Ahhh, The Specials. I loved "Stupid Marriage".

OOh yeah, being carried out with Vordhosbn battering away in the background would be good.

I suppose really I should have "Piku" by The Chemical Brothers.

"At my Funeral" - Crash Test Dummies

"Dear God" - XTC

And the rest would be a backdrop of music by Banco de Gaia

I want some Balinese gamelan music, played live.. specifically Gamelan Angklung.... but not the bamboo kind, the metallophone kind. Because I used to play in a gamelan, and it was one of the most enjoyable things i've ever been part of, and the music is beautiful. Also, it actually is funeral music.

yeah im a nerd.
