Your funeral

[Gets!]

have any of you lot thought about what songs you would like to have played etc

Bit morbid, but went to a few recently and the slideshows they do, with the songs in the background is really moving.

Im gonna get the Crows song, '100 years' by Five For fighting and probably 'This Modern Love' by Bloc Party.

Also another thought, reckon it would kinda be cool to watch your own funeral, like just sitting there as your ghost-self, enjoying the entertainment.

4 just 1 day - kai tracid, would be a killer song for a funeral.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Stayin Alive-The BeeGees

That joke never gets old.

Why not 'Tragedy'?

 

[lemon chicken]

I always 'Last Goodbye' by Jeff Buckley would be a pretty good funeral song. I'd like to be a ghost watching just so I knew who turned up.

 

[Constipated Duck]

Would have to be Manowar's "Achilles", complete with funeral march.... just to make people stand there and listen to it for the full 28 & 1/2 minutes.

And just one last request.. make sure I'm actuallly dead.

I've had that discussion with friends over a vino or ten, especially when talking about a funeral we've been to recently.

I don't want a church service or even a funeral parlour with some celebrant who never knew me rabbiting on a load of old phooey. IMO the Hindus had the right idea, a funeral pyre and after the body is burned all the people have a "celebration". Throw some spuds into the coals and a sausage sizzle.

Some of the Songs I want played are:-

"Sleep when I'm Dead"
"Stairway to Heaven"
"Girls Just Want To Have Fun"
"Rock around the Clock"
"Twist and Shout" by the Beatles
"No Sad Songs"

Just one big party.

I've heard mention of people who have incurable diseases that know they don't have long to live organising their own wake so they don't miss out.

 

[GETSOMENUTS]

Highway to hell- AC/DC (thought that one would of come out by now )
Im with you Gabbie, I want people celebrate at mine.

Yep, same here... "Hooray, the c***'s dead. Let's start the fire, put some tunes on and get absolutely smashed."

I hope the only fire started up at my funeral is when im safely in the ground. Stick cremation up the kiber pass mate!

Only trouble is as I'm planning on being above ground for a lot longer by the time I'm ready for that big social club in the sky, there's a good chance half the mourners will be propped up by walking frames. Picture it, very senior cits rocking to "Sympathy for the Devil"

 

[TurboHead]

wish you were here - Pink Floyd

 

[superfraser]

Yea... I've always wanted to watch my own funeral...

I'd also want my funeral details sms'd to everyone in my phone and up on myspace bulletins ala Corey. I'd want it huge and I'd want it to rock.

But I'd want tears! especially from chicks which I've boned.

 

[Bomber32]

All You Need Is Love - The Beatles
A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

If I had to pick one song, it'd be Ozzy's Over the Mountain. But stuff that, I want an ALBUM played at my funeral!

Iron Maiden - Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)

Megadeth - Go to Hell
Iron Maiden - Die With Your Boots On
Motorhead - Deaf Forever
Tankard - Dead Men Drinking
Manowar - Lament of the Kings

I want to be buried at sea. Sort of.

See, when I'm dead, I'll made arrangements for a boat to be hired and 50 of my nearest and dearest get on it, and start getting hammered.

The boat goes out to an area where big sharks, preferably white pointers, are know to congregate.

Once at the appointed area, the water gets chummed to attract loads of sharks. Speeches talking about what a top bloke I was begin.

After all the speeches are done (30mins at most, keep it tight) the coffin is placed on a catapult with the lid open. Spring catapult and my body goes into water about 20 metres from boat.

That epic Sigur Ros track off Planet Earth starts, really load, and my mates and family stand there, beers in hand, as the great leviathans devour my corprse bite by bloody bite.

Beat that.

That sounds like a sea-going version of the Tibetan Sky Burial, where they dry you out once you're dead, pound your body flat with rocks, tear it into pieces and feed it to vultures. Now that's ethnic chic

 

[Daytripper]

Time To Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman
(that song never fails to get grown men crying at a funeral)

These Days - Powderfinger

Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
(always remember that one from Hutchence's funeral)

 

[martyTHOMAS]

Naughty Girl- Mr G- Summer Heights High.

I'm sure both of them will be very upset.

 

[Kickass]

All your Family and Friends belting out the Angels Classic,

"Am I ever gonna see your face again, No Way get ****ed , **** off!"

Are you 15 dude?

I'm 24, reasonably good looking, and I've been single since I was 21 so theres been plenty more then I need to tell you about.

Its not hard to get laid.

...I understand that you're making a joke... But if you're infact a guy who gets laid you'd find that to be childish, not a joke...
