What song would play at your funeral?

[Sandy]

I would choose "Helena" by My Chemical Romance. Watch the video to see what I mean.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Andrew W.K.
Long Live The Party

'I want to have a party
I want to have a party
I want to have a party
I want to have a party
You cannont kill the party
You cannont kill the party
You cannont kill the party
Long Live The Party'

 

[Virgilijus]

Well, it would be a toss up between two:

Mozart's Requiem, all of it. But if I could only pick one part it would be Lacrimosa or Requiem Aeternum.

Beethoven's 5th symphony first movement; easily the most moving piece I have ever heard in my life. I think it would be fitting for it to be there at the end.

 

[Vicious Delicious]

Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Says a good message out and totally rocks. 'nuff said.

 

[GaNoNdOrFgUrL]

My funeral song...I would either let them play:

1. "A Tout Le Monde"- MegaDeth

2. "Imagine"- John Lennon

3. "Real Love"- John Lennon

4. Mozart's Requiem

5. "My Immortal"- Evanescence

6. "Hello"- Evanescence


at my wake...all my favorite songs.

 

[Xsyven]

Mozart's Requiem, all of it. But if I could only pick one part it would be Lacrimosa or Requiem Aeternum.

Lacrimosa-- Good song.



My funeral would probably be playing 'Hope, Faith, Love' by Eric Whitacre. Though it's kind of inspirational, and not so much deathy, it's very peaceful and would send a good message to those that still loved me.



But what are the odds of me dying? I'm invincible.

 

[GoldShadow]

Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Says a good message out and totally rocks. 'nuff said.

Awesome, amazing song. Not what I'd want played at my funeral but that's beside point.

 

[Matt]

"Old People at a Cemetery" by Of Montreal

 

[Crimson King]

"What Color is Death?" or "Bones of Baby Dolls" by Acid Bath.

Yea... or Highway to Hell.

 

[Duke]

Probably some mormon hymn.

 

[Justin]

Meshuggah - New Millenium Cyanide Christ.

^ Listen to it...it's swell.

 

[F8X]

Ding Dong the Witch is dead

or

Stain' Alive

Edit: Frankie are you a ballerina?

 

[Justin]

I can't believe nobody has said, Nsync - Bye Bye Bye. I'm disappointed...

 

[Taco Head]

I Killed The Prom Queen - There Will Be No Violins When You Die

 

[Peeze]

"Dark side of the moon"-Pink Floyd
"Mad world"-Michael Andrews

 

[Blazey]

Soma - The Smashing Pumpkins

and if there were multiple songs,

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins
Into Dust - Mazzy Star

 

[#HBC | marshy]

Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Says a good message out and totally rocks. 'nuff said.

The thought of people wearing black and mourning with that 5 minute triple guitar solo going on....that's just great.

"A Day in the Life"-The Beatles
"Happiness is a Warm Gun"-The Beatles(only if I was shot)
"Paranoid Android"-Radiohead
A song by 2Pac, not really sure which one though

..."Getting Better"-The Beatles (if everyone at the funeral was glad I was dead)

 

[Sensai]

Marshigio, you win at life 'cause you like the Beatles.

I'd play Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." Sure, it's cliched, but for **** good reason; it's one of the best songs ever.

 

[commonyoshi]

The one where it goes, "It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to."
I hate that song so much, but it'll be one last act of prattery to my family from me.

For a serious note: I Can Only Imagine-MercyMe

 

[smashman90]

I am think about either "Every rose has it's thorn" or maybe "Carry on Wayward Son"

 

[EEvisu]

She Bangs, She Bangs ~ William Hung

 

[The Mad Hatter]

She Bangs, She Bangs ~ William Hung

I thought that was a Ricky Martin song. You dont have to lie, if you want Ricky Martin playing while you are being remembered its cool.

 

[EEvisu]

[Eor]

Don't Stop Me Now, by Queen

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I have made no mistakes so who are you to question me, watch an learn:

I stand corrected. I can see your attraction to him. I just figure Ricky is more your type.

 

[cF=)]

50Hertz - Sewingmachine
TEPR - En direct de la côte
Slagsmålsklubben - Kasta Sten
Of Montreal - Forecast Facist Future
Living Color - Wtff

People need to bounce during my funeral... triangle ham sandwiches and good music !

 

[Zook]

"We're almost dead"- Shadow the Hedgehog

 

[FastFox]

Liquido - Ordinary Life

I like this song because it basically puts emphasis on the fact that life isn't perfect, and you're going to be screwed over, and I think dying is a pretty big screw over.

 

[JBird1203]

HIGHWAY TO HELL

 

[Warrior of Zarona]

"Blue" - Cowboy Bebop OST

or

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen

 

[H20 Melon]

HIGHWAY TO HELL

How right you are

But I'm still in love with No. 41, Mozart

From High Fidelity by Nick Hornby:

I have thought about the stuff I want played at my funeral, although I could never list it to anyone, because they’d die laughing. “One Love” by Bob Marley; “Many Rivers to Cross” by Jimmy Cliff; “Angel” by Aretha Franklin. And I’ve always had this fantasy that someone beautiful and tearful will insist on “You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me” by Gladys Knight, but I can’t imagine who that beautiful, tearful person will be. But that’s my funeral, as they say, and I can afford to be generous and sentimental about it. It doesn’t alter the point that Barry made, even if he didn’t know he was making it: we have about seven squillion hours’ worth of recorded music in here, and there’s hardly a minute of it that describes the way Laura’s feeling now.

This comes immediately after the narrator, Barry and **** are doing exactly what everyone is doing here. Discussing what to play at a funeral (in this case, "Laura's" dad's) and as always this topic results in a competition to pick the funniest, most ironic, and possibly iconoclastic song possible.

It's all the more ironic because, as the narrator observed (he knows his ACTUAL choices would get him laughed out of the record store), 95% of y'all are full of crap

Edit: I take it back, only about 70% are full of crap.

Edit2: Make that 55%

 

[Virgilijus]

To any one that would want to here my two choices:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pkOKWgu-m8

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrYVnSPRoAE

For Beethoven's 5th, the part that really hits me starts at around 5:30, but once it reaches 5:55 then 6:25 then 6:55...seriously, I can't listen to those parts without being moved.

No one will forget my life with this song.

 

[Pit 42]

Whoever said "Highway to Hell", good one.

I would have 'Always look on the bright side of life' playing.

 

[Duke]

I would like to refine my previous answer.

I would definitely choose this song, "Bound for the Promise Land" sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. And I wouldn't just have it played through some speakers, oh no, I would be sung live by the choir itself as seen in this video.

[Sandy]

Then again, "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance would a good choice.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

You have the biggest crush on MCR. Besides, mine is the best.

 

[Taco Head]

Then again, "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance would a good choice.

Dead!
