Your Own Funeral Choose THREE Songs (another spin-off, spin-off thread)

Caro Emerald: Coming Back As A Man
K. Michelle - Today Just Aint My Day
Grateful Dead: Next Time You See Me

Entering the building:
Theme from Cosmos (it's a song by Vangelis, don't know the actual title).

Coffin disappearing:
Going Home, Dvorak (that New World Symphony thing).

Leaving the building:
John 19:41 (from Jesus Christ Superstar.

i know it was my thread, and all.
But if I couldn't have my initial choices - for whatever bizarre reason - then I'd want to have the last laugh - on anyone present.

so,,, My Funeral Last Laugh list:

Portsmouth Sinfonia - Whiter Shade of Pale
Frank Sidebottom - Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite
Monty Python - Galaxy Song

...and I'm sure those present would have a giggle too

In that case, I'd pick three songs from family guy. Very offensive for a Queen forum, perhaps (and I really don't mean to offend, I just find the stupidity of it all amusing) but "Sodomy", "You've Got Aids" and Peter's rendition of the "Jurassic Park" theme (from when Quagmire faked his death, being killed by a pots and pans robot and having his body eaten by a dinosaur).

Throw in 'Me and Jesus' and I'm sold!

Another one bites the dust

That is all

Honestly? The Coral's 'In the Forest' when the coffin's brought in, an instrumental of The Doors' 'Break on Through' when the vicar does the eulogy, and Pearl Jam's 'Alive' when the cremation happens.

Nice choice!

For my grand finale, I would love some happiness not tears... Maybe even some dancing.

How about...

1.Two tickets to paradise (though, hopefully, I'd be taking one with me... :-) ) - Eddie Money

2. You've Got Another Thing Coming - Judas Priest

3. And closing out the day... Dean Martin's version of Sway with everyone pairing up to dance out the door.

Yeah. That would be quite the send off.

^ great list.

Thank you... odd named Sir. ;-) I'm thinking I should add a request for a ballroom dance instructor to be there, guiding my mourners through the latter part of the day. No fumbling or tumbling for my send off. Just fluid samba, rumba or whatever dance they would do to dreamy Dean...

John Dowland's 'Unquiet Thoughts'
Avril Lavigne's 'Take Me Away'
The Credo from Haydn's Mass No 13 in B-Flat Major

And just to be extra-melodramatic, I'd like the three pieces to be performed live by orchestra, choir and soloists.

I'd pick...

Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
Muse - Blackout
Elton John - Funeral For A Friend (just the intro part)
