I see this is a very versatile song.


I never much cared for it

What music should they play at your funeral?

Last week I went to a funeral, and as the old boy who'd passed on was Irish, they played a piece of Irish Folk as we filed out of the church.

Which set me thinking, what should they play when I pass on (hopefully not for a while yet!)

An obvious choice would be "Satan rejected my soul", although "The Never Played Symphonies" could also be appropriate.

What would you choose?

I really want Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.

Imagining people laughing against their will amuses me no end

Re: What music should they play at your funeral?

The Funeral Party - The Cure
Asleep - The Smiths
and NOW, Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead, because my family would howl. Heehee. Great suggestion.

I'd like some Kimya Dawson. Mainly "The Beer"

Re: What music should they play at your funeral?

If it's a church service: "Thank You for Hearing Me" by Sinead O'Connor

If it's my cremated remains scattering from within a beautiful fireworks display over the Everglades: "Break on Through (to the Other Side)" by The Doors

Hahahaha. I found this to be pretty funny. Just thinking about some ridiculous song and everyone laughing, almost uncontrollably, and you can tell no one wants to be doing, but there is nothing they could do about it ...Hahaha..

I've always wanted "Asleep" to be played, as typical as it may be. I also really like the idea of "I Don't Mind if You Forget Me" and "There is a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends". Or maybe "I Know It's Over" or "Never Had No One Ever".

Other songs besides Smiths/Morrissey... Right now I would probably say "Nobody Has to Stay" by Mirah or maybe "Angeles" by Elliott Smith.

All pretty sad songs I suppose. I would feel bad for people who may actually like me to have to listen to these songs and know I'm gone.

Non-Morrissey/The Smiths music that should be played at my funeral...
The entire album "The White Room" by the KLF
"Biology" - Girls Aloud (one of the greatest pop songs ever)
"Your Funny Uncle" - Pet Shop Boys

"Stink Mama" would be cool, too.

 

[Highlander]

The guitar riff from "How Soon Is Now" playing on continuous loop in the background.

For singing - "Death is Not The End" by Nick Cave, fetauring Shane McGowan, PJ Harvey and Kylie. The ULTIMATE funeral song.

Strangest song I ever hear sung at a funeral was "I Do Like To Be Beside The Sea-Side". Bizzarre.
