What songs would you like Played at your Funeral?

[Alocer]

OK, kind of a macabre subject but a valid one nonetheless as it shows what you wanna go out with.... Lets go for 20 cause its gonna be a long event....

I am a big fan of Irish wakes, One huge party to celebrate the life of a person. I don't want a bunch of people in black crying over my urn. Its no fun trust me, I've had to deal with every single grand parent I have pass on. So I leave it up to you, I will add as soon as i figure out which ones I want played...

It's Bad You Know ~ R.L. Burnside
Crackhead Joe ~ Little Freddie King

A long time ago I thought Elton John's "Funeral For A Friend" would be appropriate. It starts out really morbid then kicks ass.

Excellent thread!!! I always name songs to my wife for my funeral & right now I can only think of:

"You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" by Johnny Thunders
"We'll Meet Again" by Peggy Lee w/Benny Goodman
"Enjoy Yourself" by Guy Lombardo
"King of the Night time World" by Kiss
"Wild Horses" by The Sundays
