Lyric sheets will be available.

Wham’s Wake me up before you go-go…

Just changed my mind. Would have I love everybody here, by Athlete. Just to make them all feel a bit tingly

On a serious note, if I was having a funeral – which I won’t be, it would have to be Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughn Wiiliams.

Iggy Pop – Lust for Life

For a dancer-Jackson Browne

Joe Walsh of course, Life’s been good.

the end by The Doors (pref with the gunships circling overhead just for extra atmosphere) 😀 8)

I am the resurrection.

Rather liking the Vaughn Williams Jamie74

My current fave song

Jump into the Fire by Nilsson – appropriate and awesome

Recently heard this (“Everywhere I go” by Lissie) played at a funeral and it really grabbed the emotions of people there:

Had this conversation with friends up the road, their son (13) said when his mum dies he’s having them play ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!’ delivered absolutely deadpan as left the room – brilliant!

I may follow Peter Sellers’ lead and have them play something that I really hate just because I won’t be there to hear it. For me, Soft Cell’s Tainted Love.

🙂

“The Breaking of the Fellowship” – From the soundtrack of Lord of the Rings – Fellowship of the Ring.

Bit of a tearjerker soz 🙁

Ascent an ending.

It’s got the real melancholy feel, think I’d need to have something more upbeat as well.

I cant believe this hasnt been done..

I want “fire” by Jimi Hendrix Experience. Or if there is a good crowd, the Tia Carrere cover from Wayne’s World. 😀

Mrs J wants “Hot Hot Hot” by the Cure.

As a sometime bona fide gigging musician whose music was welcome rather than tolerated (not any more mind!), I once skilfully murdered/pastiched Metalica’s “nothing else matters” at a house party, only to find that it had very recently been played at a funeral of one guest’s friends who had taken his own life. There is no emoticon that says how bad a thing that was.

Don’t Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult.

and

Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye, sung by Gracie Fields.
It’s got a brillian ending, the sound of steam train chuffing off into the distance.

I have a few ideas but this has to be a front runner:

My old workmate went down the chute to The Dambusters March. Very appropriate for him.
