Play This @ My Funeral Songs

[Frogmort]

Yeah, sounds morbid, but it's really just a question of who you really are. Me, it's Rush - Tom Sawyer, KC & the Moonshine Band - Lark's Tongues - parts - (all of 'em), and Zappa - St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast, where I stole the margarine. Maybe some Queen too?!

 

[halbroome]

"Have You Seen the Stars Tonight" -- from Paul Kantner's one (and only) solo album. Why? Don't know, maybe because I hope to be up there in the stars by then. . . .

 

[Frogmort]

Damn, right now it's 'While My Guitar Quietly Wimpers' by Dewey Cox.

 

[edisonbaggins]

Metallica - Orion

 

[Frogmort]

George's 'Piggies' is freaking awesome!

 

[skherbeck]

"La Villa Stangiato" by Rush. In surround. Mixed by Steven Wilson .

 

[Frogmort]

I love linguistics/Tolkien. 'La Villa Strangiato' means: in French, 'The House of Strange Music'

 

[Mesozoic Mike]

Time and Eclipse by Pink Floyd.
Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
Dear God by XTC.
I already have my cd made for my funeral. My kids all have copies. If they don't play it, I'll come back and haunt them.

Good Lord, that's some great choices!

David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes.......after all I am going to be cremated!

They are going to likely not play a thing as they won't go to the trouble of assembling my stereo to give everyone great surround sound and they wouldn't play James Brown- I Feel Good while everyone dances.

As a massive ELO fan, I've asked my kids to play this one:



I've also asked for a 5 speaker set up in my wicker coffin.
Corse one listen by the son and daughter and they said..no way dad!!

As too emotional!!
Bless them.

Tomorrow Never Knows. And of course the mash-up with Within You Without You from Love will do.

Funnily enough, this choice first came to my attention as a cover by the stone rockers Trouble, who also did Porpoise Song (Carole King/The Monkees), which remains my other choice.

 

[IMachine]

Alan Parsons - Old & Wise

It’s not French at all ! More like Italian ?

 

[privateuniverse]

Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"!

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

LONG LIVE KING'S X.
(Dear family: Please plug in the big speakers and turn this up very loud.)

Sorry François from France, do you speak French? Yes, Italian is what I meant, but was very drunk last night. Merci beaucoup!

Funny, I've had a "songs for my funeral" playlist set up for some years now. The first song on the list, Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig In The Sky".

 

[marpow]

Tesla: Song And Emotion.
