In an Mmmbop you're gone
In an Mmmbop you're not there...


I don't think the mourners will be able to handle that


As for me, I don't know. Part of me wants Fatboy Slim's Praise You. Another part of me wants Sigur Ros' Svefn-G-Englar but then, I don't really want people making out to moody, depressive music at my funeral.

oh man sigur ros would be good but it would be very depressing. This is a pretty depressing topic heh.

While I think Sigur Ros, or Radiohead and such would fit well at my funeral cause I like them so much I think something more upbeat or happy would be more fitting. maybe a joke..cause I am not a serious guy.

They might be giants - Particle Man

or maybe

Modest Mouse - Life Like Weeds

LIFE LIKE WEEDS
And in this life like weeds, you're just a rock to me
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the places you go, you'll see the place where you're from
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the faces you meet, you'll see the place where you'll die
I could have told you all that I love you
And on the day that you die, you'll see the people you?d met
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the faces you see, you'll see just who you've been
I wish I could have told you all?
In this life like weeds, eyes need us to see
Hearts need us to bleed, in this life like weeds
You're a rock to me
I know where you're from, but where do you belong?
In this life like weeds, you're the dirt I?ll breath
In this life like weeds, you're a rock to me
All this talkin? all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothin? left to breathe
And you think you feel most everything
And we know that our hearts are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
So you think you've figured out everything
But we know that our minds are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
All this talkin? all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothing left to breathe
Up until there's nothin? left to speak.
Up until the better parts of space

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive

 

[IAteYourMother]

smoke on the water-deep purple

actually, iono, not thinking that far ahead

 

[Evadman]

low man's lyric.

 

[Atlantean]

NIN - Right Where It Belongs
NIN - In This Twilight (from their newest unreleased cd... have heard it a couple times and love the song)

Actually most of what I would want played would be Nine Inch Nails, though there are a few Japanese songs I enjoy, I dunno, whatever I have been listening to on my playlist recently would be sufficient I would think.

 

[Jesus the Porkyeti]

Mostly upbeat stuff. Maybe "I'm From Barcelona".

Edit: Scratch that. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

 

[rockyct]

"Bye Bye" Nsync

 

[Jinru]

Daniel Powter - Bad Day

 

[alrocky]

another one bites the dust?

 

[FoBoT]

another one bites the dust would be good

 

[hjo3]

Most anything by a string quartet, so long as it's not too cliched.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Sixteen Tons...or the Purple People Eater!!

 

[akshatp]

Na Na Na Na... Hey Hey Hey... Good bye...

or

Happy trails, to you.... I hope, we meet, again...

 

[senseamp]

Paradise City

 

[MikeO]

Probably the best metal song ever, Pantera's I'm Broken.

I wonder if we'll smile in our coffins while loved ones
Mourn the day, the absence of our faces, living, laughing,
Eyes awake. Is this too much for them to take?

 

[SonnyDaze]

The Sesame Street song.

 

[moshquerade]

how morbid.

i really don't care what they play. i'll be late for my funeral anyway.

 

[StevenYoo]

This is the song that doesn't end...

Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet;
As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

[Chorus:]

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy
That's how they showed their honour and their pride;
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief
Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold

[Chorus]

About two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug
Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug
We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time
And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine

[Chorus]

They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon
They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon
They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime
Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!

[Chorus]

Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet;
As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

If there's a bunch of crying depressed people at my funeral, I'm coming back from the dead to haunt them. Celebrate my life, don't mourn my death.

Picard's Russkian Flute song

Link to song Text

I want my funeral to be alot more peaceful than my life has been.

 

[RbSX]

Or..

Deathcab -- I'll follow you into the Dark
Frank Sinatra -- I did it my way
Goo Goo Dolls -- Better Days
Incubus -- Wish you were here
Dirty Vegas -- Days go by

Then the one quintessential song to summarize my life

Young Guns -- Can't Stop Won't Stop

 

[BKLounger]

I would want the song that never ends from that stupid lambchop show just so i could annoy the hell out of everyone i know one last time.
