...what song would you request to be played at your funeral???

I would probably want Pink Floyd's "The Wall" played. I can't decide on just one song...

It was yesterday, so they picked it before I had the chance!

Interesting thread ... definitely an eclectic group ... as expected

How about

Grave Digger by Dave Matthews

???

Like a rolling stone

I keep changing my mind about this.


Something classical would be nice. Maybe 4'33?




And followed up with Thank You (Fallettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)


Yeah, that sounds like a good funeral!

If I decide to be cremated it will be 'Come on Baby Light my Fire'

the sky is crying

Yesterday

Maybe no song, but the dead parrot sketch by Monty Python

I have to give this some thought and may add to the list, but I think that I would definitely like...

Boulder To Birmingham - Emmylou Harris

Cause We've Ended As Lovers - Jeff Beck

I'd arrange it so some old church lady would come in and just riff on the organ all afternoon
Let the music match the corpse -- old, slow, and public domain

The End - The Beatles

I won't be there to see it, but I like the thought of my long ex-communicated highly religious family being subjected to Rat Tomago or maybe Stevies Spanking or Black Napkins, any of the great solo laden mangle it strangle it Frank Zappa tunes, dirty and obnoxious lyrics not necessary.

How about "the secret Carlos Santana chord progression" from shut up and play yer guitar.

But my wife will pick a Jackson Browne song so WTF?

+1 pachabel,or As My guitar Gently Weeps-actually I don't want a wake,or any kind of
traditional funeral-instead,I'd like a Viking chieftans' funeral.Put me in a boat,shove it into
the water,and ignite it with fire arrows.Hopefully.I'll be dead long before the Devil knows it!!

Imagine by John Lennon

"Love's Last Breath" by Wayne Posnick and myself. Instrumental on two different Tele's (his is the harsh one!) off of his "It's not my Fault" album.

Joe Walsh's 'Shut Up!'

My originals.

Its a toss between "rodney carrington's - the day my wife met my girlfriend" and pink floyds - echoes.

Either one would be cool with me, both would be even better.
