Alternative video


deltron63 - 12/3/10 at 09:55 PM

gotta be " my way " by the late sid vicious


Howlor - 12/3/10 at 10:00 PM

And mine would be:-

Song 1

And the next...

Linky


deezee - 12/3/10 at 10:01 PM

In terms of the sheer irony
Queen - Who wants to live forever
Sum 41 - Heart Attack

In terms of songs I currently find suitably melancholic for all you guys mourning me....

Russell - 12/3/10 at 10:03 PM

Just one song, by a Chinese Journey tribute band: "Don't Stop Bereaving"


UncleFista - 12/3/10 at 10:07 PM

Only one, Lisa Gerrard's "sacrifice"

Excuse the footage, the best audio I could find is her singing live on a Belgian Sunday evening political chatshow....


Jon Ison - 12/3/10 at 10:12 PM

I am under strict orders if swimbo goes 1st we must play "going up to the spirit in the sky"


welderman - 12/3/10 at 10:18 PM

westf27 - 12/3/10 at 10:26 PM

I know the weather is depressing,but please


Staple balls - 12/3/10 at 10:33 PM

Arthur Brown - Fire (A must have for a cremation)

And something in an ear worm, just to leave people slightly pissed off at me.

Toni Basil - Mickey


skinned knuckles - 12/3/10 at 10:35 PM

when SWMBO finally gets driven to insanity by my incessant snoring, untidyness and bad feet. she has agreed that after she has stabbed my through the heart with a screwdriver she would play this at my funeral

big man sings


RazMan - 12/3/10 at 10:44 PM

I suggested 'Stairway to Heaven' but SWMBO thinks that 'Highway to Hell' is more appropriate


eagle - 12/3/10 at 10:49 PM

im on fire by kasabian just after the coffin has gone


se7en - 12/3/10 at 11:04 PM

I have asked for three at my cremation.

The first has to be by the best guitarist that ever lived Santana - Samba Pa Ti

The second is one that I came across lately. Although I am not religious this hymn sent shivers down my spine the first time I heard it. Be Thou My Vision - Old Celtic Hymn

& The third is one that may appear strange but it has family ties as it was a cousin of my mum's that wrote the words Mark Knopfler - Raglan Road

Sorry lads I'm greedy and I would want 3 (YES THREE) songs people would enter to :-

This is the end. by The Doors (Subtle joke/inuendo there, sorry) Full long version the end plus the last bit (which you will find in the link to the right of the clip) which would give about 15minutes for people to come in and contemplate.

Mid ceremony would be :-

Time to Say Goodbye. by Sarah Brightman/Andrea Bocelli. Linky


Then people would have to leave to the airs of :-

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life. from The Life Of Brian sound track. linky link


Edit bit, At which point anyone that turned up would probably be saying 'thank god thats over with'

Highway to hell
comfortably numb

Most days

austin man - 12/3/10 at 11:14 PM

Most definatly would be one of mine, can't stop playing it, it's great
>Best tune ever<

+something soppy like :
Kirsty MacColl - Days

Also tempted by one to annoy people depending how I leave this planet, probably:

Diamanda Galas - Saint of the Pit

coozer - 12/3/10 at 11:26 PM

Ooo, difficult choice.....

Holy Man by One Minute Silence, or maybe 1845....

Then...

Harvester of Sorrow... For Whom the Bells Toll...

Too many to choose from.....

[Edited on 12/3/10 by graememk]


mediabloke - 13/3/10 at 12:20 AM

With or Without You - U2

And if I had to / got to choose when that would be:
Moondance - Van Morrison.

But until that day comes:
Lose Yourself - Eminem

Not having one!

My will states that my body should be sent for cremation (no ceremony or gathering) and the ashes given to my next of kin to be be scattered in my garden!


adithorp - 13/3/10 at 11:19 AM

Simon and Garfunkle - Bridge over troubled water

Carole King - You've got a friend

Monty Python - Always look on the bright side.

Joe, I think most crematoriums have banned "Fire Starter"... miserable gits!
