Funeral Song


Benji

Recommended Posts

Sort of, yes. The song was, apparently, originally written for Billy Idol, but ended up being performed by Simple Minds. Billy Idol did it later for no real reason.

'The Stars Are In The Sky Tonight' by Eels, beautifully sad song and I want EVERYONE crying hahaha.
Why not just rig your coffin with tear gas?

I don't want to force them into crying like a corrupt police force, just nudge em into it. Honestly I'm not sure I want a funeral, I mean do I have to lay there dead in a coffin while people glare over and talk about me and stuff. And in a church.

Or to freak out anyone who turns up to my funeral, Dead Man by PJ.

"I'm a dead man walking.."

Perhaps add in a puppet rig, so you're basically a life-size Thunderbird?

*jump up out of the coffin*

"Hi everyone! Thanks for coming! I hope you all.. Oh, I'm having a heart attack!

*fall back into coffin*

...I'm thinking of some weird stuff lately...

I'm not sure for my funeral, but I do know there will be absolutely nothing at my funeral that has anything related to religion.

For my dad's funeral though, I'd like to sing either "The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix(I have an album his old band did, and he sings lead on that song), or "No Surrender" by Bruce Springsteen.

You Can Never Hold Back Spring by Tom Waits...

Flying Shoes by Townes Van Zandt...

Maybe to be a cunt I'd toss in You're Listening to A Dead Man by Clann Zu

Dude, yes. You Can Never Hold Back Spring. Yessssss!

"Too Long Awake" - Idlewild

"When I Argue I See Shapes" - Idlewild

I think both are quite appropriate for me.

EDIT: Good fuck, is it just me or does that creepy dude at the start of Witch Doctor look just like the spirit of jazz?
