Funeral Music

About a year ago my Nan sadly passed away. During her funeral service they played some of her favorite songs and it got me thinking - what song(s) would you want played at your funeral?

At the fulcrum of humdrum
"Here Comes Your Man", by Pixies.

Or something by Divine, purely down to fact that it'll get my closest friends thinking: "Divine?! Whoa, maybe I didn't know simisker anywhere near as much as I thought I did! Blimey!". Mischievous? Moi? :D

Oh, I'll be chuckling in my urn over that one.

[note to youngsters: Divine was a fat American drag queen and gay icon, responsible for such travesties as "You think you're a man [but you're only a boy]", amongst others. :D]


[EDIT: oh, alright then, in all seriousness: The traditional Welsh mourning song "Llef", sung by male voice choir [both my parents are involved with local choirs]; and "Mr Carbohydrate" by Manic Street Preachers for when everyone leaves the service, as the lyrics are quite fitting, plus I like the idea of the word '****head' being mentioned in a traditional place of Christian worship...]

Yus BUT! the only thing I'd want to be at my funeral would be music, otherwise it wuld be all 'oh she was a really good friend...sob...sob....sob.../blowing of noses'. And plus musics the only thing I realllllllllly care about (minus a few people who dont care anyway :rolleyes:) at the moo so I think it'd only be right for my fav songs to be played.

I think that's the joint first most requested funeral song of all time (obviously with Stairway To Heaven sharing that spot).

It would be one heck of a song to go out to though!

For me, it'd have to be the theme music to Benny Hill (Yakety Sax?) or MC Hammer: It's Hammer Time! :)
