Dont Cry as every one leaves  :'(

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

Benny Hill theme song.  :hihi:

Funerals suck.

I want Paradise City. Since that song always makes me happy, and i've always had a happy outlook on life. I figure that would fit me pretty well.

Motorhead - Die You Bastard

Strange question indeed, got me thinking while being high so here is how my would hopefully go

After people have arrived at the church, Pink Floyd - Breathe and faded down in the beginning of On The Run

Chill out brake music, Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

While my coffin is carried out out the church, Guns N' Roses - Knockin' on Heaven's Door

When people are at the graveyeard and my coffin is lovered down, Guns N' Roses - Paradise City


That be nice funeral

"I'm An Asshole" by - Dennis Leary.... :yes:

Funny you started this thread. I have given my wife orders when i die I want a bunch played. And after the funeral ther will be a wake with nonstop music.

I have talked about this for years but I still have not compiled the list yet. Actually I'm going to make a CD of the songs

The basic must songs are

Knocking on Heavens Door - GNR- ?Possible a live version from a show I was at- 5-15 sounds cool so maybe
Good Ridance- Green Day
Yesterdays GNR
Don't Damn Me GNR
Rocket Queen GNR
Its Alright- GNR live Era version
Sweet Child O'mine Live version off boot with sail away sweet sister and only women bleed ( I know odd but I play that sail away intro to my duaghter)
Staind- Outside

Plus some ozzy tunes and more GNR

I blared KOHD on ride from funeral home to cemetary when my cousin died. No one dared ask me to turn it down,. I left my AFD cassette on his coufin before they lowered it in the ground.

I wore my live era cd out that night and also Green day Good Riddance and some metallica, whiskey in the jar  :beer:

Nothing but raw emotion that night from that music, i could of taken on the world and won i was so pissed off at the world at losing my best freind.

Highway To Hell of course, that's what my funeral will be about :yes: And also Ismo Alanko - Vittu kun vituttaa.. that's great.

Oh i know it is a gay song but that one song by enya i do not know the name

I've thought about it before - 'Wild World', my all time favorite. 

Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd and
The Dance by Garth Brooks

Queen - Who wants to live forever

Queen - Was it all worth it

Deep Purple - Child in time

* edit pff damn mistakes it was pretty late when I typed this   :hihi:

c'est ta chance- JJ Goldman
je suis venu te dire (que je m'en vais)- serge gainsbourg
Love somebody- Robbie Williams
Walking in the air- The snowman sung by Aled Jones

Boston: Foreplay/Longtime
Led Zeppelin: Tangerine
Thin Lizzy: Cowboy Song
Tenacious D: Wonder Boy

in that order.  :love:

Not a song, but George Carlin's bit called "Death & Dying".

Yup. Thats it.

Wild Horses - GnR Live version

wow you read my mind with those first two.was it all worth it,leaving breathing rock and roll in this god forsaken life  :'(

my uncle had freebird - lynyrd skynyrd at his funeral a couple of years ago so that song has memories for me.

dont cry - for my missus

knockin on heavens door from the freddie tribute  :drool:

the ghostbusters theme  :hihi:

u2 with or without you

in this river - black label society (what a fuckin song)

bohemian rhapsody - coz that song is sooo like me....brilliant but makes no sense whatsoever :rofl:

and finally .... maybe a song off CD as it looks as though it will be out before i die   :yes:

I had November Rain played on repeat at my father's viewing, final service, and funeral... as per his request. 

I hope for the same.

I would pick a Guns N' Roses song for my funeral. I don't have one picked yet because I hope that won't be needed for along time from now.  :)

Hopefully not... I want an acoustic version of the blues played at my funeral, slightly modified.  Hopefully we get a version like that in due time

GNR-> Breakdown- everyone enters

November Rain as I'm being lowered

Coma-> As everyone leaves


--Nightrain---Never to return :peace:

Nice, I like that one :P

I guess the end of November Rain would be cool as the coffin is carried down the aisle, just like in the video :)

I don't really want people to cry at my funeral... granted I'm 21 and that's years away (i hope)... I'd try to keep it somewhat upbeat.

Who Wants to Live Forever is such a beautiful song.

For me, The Beatles-In My Life

IML is classic.  I just authored family videos to DVD and I used that as the song in the chapters... love it!  :beer:

really funny that you started this thread :hihi:

the article is from the biggest german gossip paper the BILD...  it says that a guy played knockin`on heaven`s door at his funeral and some more shit like that......  i don`t want to translate it, but you get the picture :hihi:

Those were the days of my life - Queen
Friends will be friends - Queen
November Rain - Guns N Roses
Helloween - Time
All dead - Queen
Who wants to live for ever - Queen
Infinite Dreams - Iron Maiden (where would I end, in heaven or in hell?)
The hidden track from made in heaven album by Queen when my coffin is getting down

In that order  ;D

fnny how you people would have GNR played at your funeral...

No one really knows what gnr music triggered inside my mind and i wouldn't want to have their music at my funeral because it would be like saying someone else knew what happened inside me and no one but me does...?

Happy Everafter In Your Eyes - Ben Harper

I know what you're saying... interesting thought!  :peace:

Lay me Low - Nick Cave

They're gonna lay me low (Lay me low)
They're gonna sink me in the snow
They're gonna throw back their heads and crow
When I go

They're gonna jump and shout (Lay me low)
They're gonna wave their arms about
All the stories will come out
When I go

All the stars will glow bright (Lay me low)
And my friends will give up the fight
They'll see my work in a different light
When I go

They'll try telephoning my mother (Lay me low)
But they'll end up getting my brother
Who'll spill the story on some long-gone lover
That I hardly know

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And I'll show you how it works
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now don't care how
Take your final bow
Make a stand Take my hand
And blow it all to hell

They gonna inform the police chief (Lay me low)
Who'll breathe a sigh of relief
He'll say I was a malanderer, a badlander, and a thief
When I go

They will interview my teachers (Lay me low)
Who'll say I was one of God's sorrier creatures
There'll print informative six-page features
When I go

They'll bang a big old gong (Lay me low)
The motorcade will be ten miles long
The world will join together for a farewell song
When they put me down below

They'll sound a fluegelhorn (Lay me low)
And the sea will rage, and the sky will storm
All man and beast will mourn
When I go

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And we can watch this damn thing turn
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now Do it now
Take a long last bow
Take my hand Make a stand
And blow it all to hell

Lay me low...
When I go...

There are songs that really describe the way I am and feel, and I really think that way GNR help in certains way of my attitude for some people think I'm kinda stupid, but for me is just how I see it and feel it.
I really want to people in my funeral hear and feel the way I used to feel in some days, I think Im gonna die old so theres a long way to my death  :-\

That is beautiful. I quoted November rain at a beloved patient's memorial service. I played LIVE and Let Die and DON"T CRY at the funeral I had for my feisty little Beta fish who had just happened to be named AXL. Sorry about your DAD.

KOHD or November Rain for me

knocking on heavens door - GNR
Lightning crashes               - LIVE

originally wanted highway to hell but my family are christians  ;D

The Show must go on - Queen
Too Much Love Will Kill You -  Queen
Coma - GNR
There Was A Time - GNR


i have a few more ideas, but i like these ideas right now, especially the first two. there are two songs that have brought tears to my eyes -  "The show must go on" anyone that knows anything about queen should understand why, "Too Much Love Will Kill You" Performed by brian may at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Show.

At my funeral, I would like  to hear(cause I will).

Seasons of Love-Rent, opening


And as it stands now-Better, at the end

and at the after party cause well I know in my fam we celebrate the life of those who pass, Id have all GNR blasting, and DREAM ON, near the end, and a tune I wrote Everyonce In a While.

The Legend replied to the thread about the 14-year-old who died and had Don't Cry played at his funeral, and he said at HIS funeral he wants Paradise City to be played.

I thought this was kind of an interesting discussion to start. Without making it all morbid and depressing, of course. But my family members have talked about funeral songs before, for example my grandfather wants the theme from Good, Bad and the Ugly by Ennio Morricone.

I want them to play My World at my funeral, orgasmic screaming women and all.  : ok:

And then I want Chris Pitman to perform a special rendition of Silkworms with Jon Lovitz on vocals.

Or maybe just Deborah's Song by Ennio Morricone...  :yes: Beautiful song.

That Billy Joel song "This Is The Time To Remember" followed by a 40 minute disco light blasting live version of The End by the Doors, complete with naked chicks dancing and smoke machines blasting.

"I Remember You" by Skid Row

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life - Eric Idle

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd or Estranged - Guns  :)

In My Darkest Hour - MegaDeth

Coma - Guns

The Prisoner- Iron Maiden

Yes, I'm serious. :) For a while I thought some kvlt black metal would be cool, but funerals are depressing enough as it is. This song is uplifting, and I think the lyrics would be very suitable, even if they have absolutely nothing to do with funerals. Plus, it's just a great song.

ant we had this thread??

if i'll get a funeral i think i'd go for mixed songs from two bands: gnr and within temptation

Bring it all Back- S Club 7

Estranged
Stuck in a moment that you can't get out of

Shit, I was gonna try and come up with some funny ones, but I could never top the Benny Hill theme and the Ghostbusters theme. Classic. :hihi:

Metallica

DIE DIE DIE MY DARLING!!!!!!

is that the original?

i brought a cool cd with all the songs i was brought up on, and that is one of them... i think this one is the original, and it's cool cos its uplifting  :-\ in a funny way  ;D

This;


Followed by Estranged

It's the one he sings at the end of Monty Python's The Life of Brian.   :hihi:

That would actually be a really cool song to have.

I probably haven't heard my funeral song yet, but if I died tomorrow, I'd go with Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry Be Happy

Yes, I just listed Eric Idle instead of Monty Python to see who actually got the joke.

I saw a video on youtube of them singing this song at Graham Chapmans funeral and I thought "Thats how I wanna go out". That and having John Cleese cursing his ass off while giving my eulogy :hihi:

As people enter the crematorium I want to have GNR Yesterdays playing.  On the way out R Kelly - The Storm Is Over (excellent lyrics)

While not AT my funeral, there is a song that might lead to my funeral.

That new freaking Evanescence song, "Call me when your sober" is stuck in my fucking head.  I'd prefer to be shot...thus, it leading to my funeral...but it keeps playing over and over in my head.  I've tried everything I can think of to get it out, short of the aforementioned bullet.

GRRRRR....

I'd chose this music from the Exorcist, I think it's called "Tibular bells". It'd freak everybody out  :rofl:

I Love To Say Fuck - Wednesday 13

:hihi: That'd be great for a church funeral...
