Highway to Hell

[Buck Birdseed]

My Girlfriend wants "Dark End Of The Street" by James Carr played at her funeral, which is ever-so-slightly disturbing.

[Provost Harrison]

ITALIANS demand Mozart, Germans want heavy metal and Brits must have Robbie Williams, according to a survey yesterday of the most popular tunes for funeral services across Europe.

A sad indictment on my nation

[Provost Harrison]

"Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" by Monty Python Now there's a good choice

[Dr Strangelove]

Is that the one that was sung during the organ donor skit, where they start out with verses describing how big the universe is?

[Whaleboy]

I want "Every Sperm is Sacred"

"There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,...
...God get quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed...
...In your neighbourhood!

Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
God needs everybody's.
Mine!
And mine!
And mine!

Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!"

Ahem.

I can understand Stairway to Heaven and "The End" but Robbie Williams should be taken out and shot. And have "Angels" played at his funeral.

[Provost Harrison]

Nope, that is the one they sung on the crucifices at the end of 'The Life Of Brian'...although yours is also a damn fine suggestion

[Asher]

How about "Another One Bites the Dust"?

[Provost Harrison]

That's the one! It's going in my last will and testament!

[Wezil]

What a great demographic for musicians - dead people.

[monolith94]

Story of the Calender Prince - Scheherezade - Rimsky-Korsakov

that would be nice

[St Leo]

Studies have shown that dead people buy the most CDs.

[Dis]

on second thought, I want my entire music collection played at my funeral. I want my funeral to last weeks. I don't care if everyone leaves.

[Agathon]

Vaughan-Williams Tallis Fantasia or the Intermezzo from Cavaliera Rusticana by Mascagni.

The latter played at my old man's funeral, along with Ry Cooder, Duane Eddy, Mahler and a full fife and drum version of Garry Owen

[Last Conformist]

Erotic - Sex on the Phone

[Verres]

Think it'd either be:

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead.
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.

Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!


or, on a slightly different note, Nothing else Matters by Metallica:

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters
