Funeral Song

[Benji]

What song do you want played at your funeral? I want people to be totally depressed so I'd have Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah"

[New Damage]

I'd make sure that no hymns be played.

Because they're my favourites and/or "suit the occasion":

"Come As You Are" - Nirvana

"Rusty Cage/Outshined/Black Hole Sun" - Soundgarden

"Simple Man/I Dare You/Burning Bright" - Shinedown

"Hold On" - Limp Bizkit

"Sweet Child O' Mine" - Guns N' Roses

"Nutshell/No Excuses" Alice In Chains

"Once In A Lifetime" - The Exies

"Say Hello 2 Heaven" - Temple Of The Dog

"How You Remind Me" - Nickelback

"Plush" - Stone Temple Pilots

"Come Alive" - Mercy Fall

For irony's sake:

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" - Metallica

"Pretend We're Dead" - L7

"Knockin' On Heavens Door" - Guns N' Roses

"Man In The Box" - Alice In Chains

It's gonna be an album

[Farmer Reil]

Glory To The Brave by Hammerfall and Farewell by Edguy/Avantasia (forgot which ).

The only two songs any funeral ever needs

And my casket is so being carried out to "In Memoriam" by Hammerfall, too. Badass instrumental.

"Little Prince" by Andrew Jackson Jihad

[Cadet Ember McLain]

"A Bid Farewell" - Killswitch Engage.

Failing that, have Monty Python's "Bright Side Of Life"

[NobBe Nobbs]

DRAGONFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCE

Dragonforce.

[Skummy]

For years I've wanted, without the spoken word intro, Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain". It's a beautiful piece of music, and I'd rather an instrumental piece played at my funeral as it allows people to remember what they wish and interpret it how they wish, whereas lyrics could kind of bend people's perceptions of the song, and therefore the event, in a specific direction, and I'd rather not have that happen. "Rothko Chapel" by Morton Feldman also, perhaps.

[R.W.]

I want "Astro" by Neil Finn, mainly because it's a song about watching your own funeral.

[GA!]

"Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" by Nirvana. Just because.

[apsham]

I am thinking either;

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Running For Home by Matthew Good Band

Because people won't be sad enough when I die and I need tears dammit!

[Cadet Ember McLain]

I guess you could always take a page out of Merrick Watts' book, and have "Sandstorm" - Darude. Turn that funeral into an impromptu rave!

[brenchill]

G.G Allin - Cunt Sucking Cannibal

Never really thought about it. The 2001: A Space Odyssey (Flair's theme) theme would be awesome, though.

[METALMAN]

Shiny Happy People - R.E.M.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Tom Waits. Not sure what song, but Tom Waits. Maybe "Heigh Ho".

[SRN]

Marduk's "Still Fucking Dead" just for shits and giggles.

Maybe some of Finntroll's music. Might go with "Vindfärd / Människopesten" just because it has sort of a epic and touchy sound to it.

[OGpistolpete]

'They Reminisce Over You' by Pete Rock & CL Smooth no doubt.

[Baddar]

In Loving Memory - Alter Bridge.

[IAceI]

In Loving Memory - Alter Bridge.

See I used to go with your "if I'm dead let them suffer" approach too, only I was going to go with Coldplay.

[jrhodes]

Going by my Dad's service you get three songs. So I would choose:

Courage - Manowar

30 Century Man - Scott Walker

Don't You Forget About Me - Billy Idol

Is that a cover of the Simple Minds song, from The Breakfast Club (and thus Futurama)?
