i was having a discussion with my friends about this. what song would you want played at your funeral? for example, one friend said tripping billies by dave matthews and the other said ender by finch. mine would probably be hear you me by jimmy eat world.

Wow Liz, you're always surprising me with deep thoughts.

It wasn't sarcastic. You're a very deep individual.

After careful consideration, I would have to say Lesbian Seagulls, by Engleburt Humperdink.

phish weekapaug groove 12-30-1999 favorite version of my favorite song by my favorite band.

Rastafarians believed Ronald Reagan was the Anti-Christ

 
forgot to add this I would want to wear not a suit. I would want my jerry garcia t-shirt and the same pair of shorts I wear like every day in summer and i would want to get buried with my pipe too. I would want my old really really beat up north face shoes too i guess. man planning your own funeral is pretty fun.

the dropkick murphey's amazing grace...only because im scots-irish

ski hard

without the bitter baby the sweet ain't as sweet-my boy jason lee
 
another one bites the dust, and bag pipes, bag pipes would be sweet.

Oh, shit I spelt something wrong? Fuck you cocksucker!

possibly barroom hero by dropkick murphys! but then again, amazing grace would kick ass too!

Bro Hymn by Pennywise

'My advice to you is to start drinking heavily' -Animal House
 
I'm always telling my girlfriend when we're listening to a certain song 'Quick! Write this down! You gotta play that.'

Lately, cuz I keep adding to the list, She just tells me that 'Anything that's not on a list on my fridge when you die, I ain't playin.'

I better hurry up and formalize some shit...

I can't remember them all now, but:

Unison - Bjork

Somewhere Down the Crazy Road - Robbie Robertson

A song I can't remember - Radiohead

I think it's important to plan this stuff, cuz if we didn't, we'd get a lame fare-thee-well. I think it's worth personalizing to some degree, and without a morbid edge. I found the _perfect_ poem to read, well, not by me, but you get it.

yeah, and I want it to be casual too. No suit and ties and stuff. Come as I knew you.

 
Big Pimpin by Jay Z. Only because thats what i am after all...

Or THe Platform by Dilated Peoples.

 
Miles Davis - Miles Runs the Vodoo Down

or

Oscar Peterson - Kelly's Blues

I'd like my mates to make up a video of me doing all the stuff I do and play that with my favourite songs to it. Like get all these bits out of videos of kayaking and drinking and skiing that we'd all done together over the years. Wap them all together and put some songs on it:

MxPx - Let It Happen

Right Said Fred - You're My Mate

Pearl Jam - Release

Massive Attack - Teardrop

And finish up with a Somoan Mens Choir singing Amazing Grace, that'd be badass.

Moby, that shit calmes me down....

Just a thought on this, My buddy Chris G, told us at a party, when he's dead at his funeral, that he didn't want people to dress up in suits, and feel bad, and he said he wanted people to have a party in his honor,

some really fucked up shit was, he died the next week in a head on collision driving to school in his civic, it' was so fucked up...

i dunno, i could have some fun fuckin with everyones heads like playing i wanna fuck a dog in the ass by blink, but then again, Punk Guy by NOFX would be good, but i think i would definately want 'If I Ever Leave This World Alive' by Flogging Molly

I put the fun in dysfunctional

 
ok, since we've started this song at the funeral thing, what does everyone want their funeral to be anyways? Im an irishman, and i've always wanted mine to be a keggar party, like a good old fashioned Irish wake. i want a dancefloor set up on top of my grave, and left there permanently, and i want to be buried upside down so the world can kiss my ass

I put the fun in dysfunctional

 
i'd want stairway to heaven by zep, that'd be probabley one of the best ones. Or Cemetary Gates by Pantera.

----now i lay me down to sleep, blah blah blah my soul to keep, if i die before i wake ill go to hell for heavons sake.
 
i just lost some of my class mates from highschool and at their furnal they played Bob Marly

the get up kids- long goodnight

'I’m sweating bullets by now fighting this brown Satan inside of me'-alpentalik refering to how bad he had to take a shit

 
at your funeral - saves the day

looking back on today - the ataris

in this diary - the ataris

the most depressing song - the get up kids

letters to you - finch

but do you honestly think they'll let you play punk or metal at your funeral? and how much of a say do you have in it?

 
i dont understand why, not one, but two people said theyd like 'at your funeral' played at their funeral... the song is not a positive song with any kind of message that i would want accompaning me to the next life... 'this song will become the anthem of your underground, youre two floors down gettin high in the next room. if i flooded out your house, do you think youd make it out? or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs...' what kind of person wants that as their last memorial and testiment in this world? i dont get it...

-all you need are drums to start a dance party-

 
personally id go with an arrangement of chopins nocturns (not all 19, in the interest of time, but a handfull... maybe five or six of em). most peacefull music known to man, in my opinion..

-all you need are drums to start a dance party-

 
OK, even with all this talk of a wake-style funeral, noboby has mentioned Bro Hymn!!!! Come on, any skier whos seen Heavy Hitting should want this played, regardless of the celebration!!! That and sympathy for the devil by the Stones would be good.

The Gomer Corporation: Celebrating a hard earned 1000 posts and coming in January, the one year anniversary of quality rants.

'one time, last week, i was trying to see how long i could keep mouthwash in my mouth. I sat down to watch tv with it in. After about 15 minutes it stopped buring and i forgot i had it in, then i accidently swallowed some. I couldnt stop throwing up for like 2 minutes, i couldnt breathe. it was horrible. The bottle said to call posion control immediatly but i turned out ok.' -DFT1080

 
i said bro hymn about 20 posts ago

also dropkicks version of amazing grace would be good

 
For me, it would be a tie between Metallica's 'Roam' and 'Also Spake Zaruthstra'

Telefreeride: big boards, free heels, no poles, all soul
 
Du Hast Mich by Rammstein. I think it would be fitting.

--But as the technology to build highways and telephones has crept north of the American border, so too have illicit gambling, crack-whores and Shopping Cart abuse gangs.
 
Joe Nichols- the impossible

Diamond Rio- what a beautiful mess

both are country songs but there both so damn good,

maybe travis tritt-great day to be alive

just to remind all my friends and family to live the rest of there lives to the best

death scares me so it was pretty tough for me to think what songs i want for my funeral
