What song(s) would you like to be played at your funeral?

Okay this is morbid but whatever I have two both Madness
It must be love an Shame an Scandle

Don't Look Back Into The Sun by The Libertines. It's uplifting and it's about forgetting the past...I'd want my funeral to be a celebration rather than a horrible time for people.

You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and The Pacemakers would be a must, too.

Sugar, We're Goin' Down Swinging...lmao...am I the only one who gets the irony in that?

well, the first question is, why do i care, im dead!

but i want something that is morbidly funny. like, weird al singing since you've been gone. I'll post the lyrics so you can understand the hilarity of it, having never heard the song.

"Since you've been gone
Well, I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil
Since you've been gone
It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil
Oh well, I'm feelin like I stuck my hand
Inside a blender and turned it on
You know, I've been in a buttload of pain
Since you've been gone

(Since you've been gone)
I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped
A two-ton bowling ball on my toes
(Since you've been gone)
It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved
A red-hot cactus up my nose

Since you've been gone
Well, it feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day
Since you've been gone
It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away
Ever since that day you left me
I've been so miserable, my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did
When you were still here"

This is such a depressing thread. I refuse to have a funeral. When I die, I want a party with flowers and sweets and dancing and bright colours and loud obnoxious music and lots and lots of alcohol.

WHY THOSE???
one is a love song, the other is a hilrious song!

I'd ave HELLO by evanescence play
because it'll be the last thing i'll make people thik about: will or do they miss me?

At Your Funeral by Saves The Day and Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits.

The song the play in shrek when they're on their way to the castle where Fiona is.
You know, the one that goes like, " I'm on my way... I'm on my way..."

Yes, I agree with Gal on this one. It's a very depressing thread for a group of people who, for the most part, haven't even finished high school. Funerals are too sad and formal, anyway. I would want lots of fun David Bowie songs. My favourites are Golden Years, Rebel Rebel, and one he wrote for the movie Labyrinth, Magic Dance.

That's right. It's "As the World Falls Down." I've got that movie memorized.

oh oh! i want the song at the beginning of beverly hills cop! because it has absolutely no pertainance to anything.
