Five Songs For Your Funeral

Recommended Posts

Just a circus theme. It would start all slow and depressing, and suddenly it would pick up and clowns would burst out of the curtains juggling stuff etc. This tremendous cake would hopefully be iced by a clown making an R I P out of balloons as he danced on top of my coffin.

 

omg, thats gotta be the funniest idea for a funeral i've ever heard, if someone at the funeral happens to have a birthday that day, you could make it a double death/bday bash.

 

on the off chance that i one day die, i'd get hold of a full dead band, i'd be lead and vocalist, i havent decided whiether we are zombies or ghosts yet, but we would play;

1. In the End by Linkin Park

2. When I'm Gone by Eminem

3. The Ballard of Paul K by McFly

4. How Do I Live by Leann Rimes

5. The Day That I Die by Good Charlotte

(and because i know people will want an oncour)

6. Adams Song by Blink 182

Let's play morbid!

 

Queen and Bowie - Under Pressure

New Order - Ceremony

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

U2 - With or Without You

 

Whoa, awesome choices.

 

I'm feeling really pissed off at the moment, so I think it would be pretty easy to make a list like this now.

 

Joy Division- Love will tear us apart

David Bowie - Starman

Foo Fighters - Everlong

Coldplay - Fix you

Feeder- Yesterday went too soon.

 

Edit: If I had to die with one song in the background, it would be So Here We Are by Bloc Party.

I plan on being cremated:

Johnny Cash - Hurt - as people walk in

Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly.

Iron Butterfly - In da Gadda da vida (sp? cant be arsed to check) ala The Simpsons, because it would ammuse me.

R.A.T.M - Bombtrack As The coffin is lowered into the furnace, "Burn, burn yes you're gonna burn" so fitting imo.

Faithless - Insomnia, as people leave, because the irony of "I cant get no sleep" would also ammuse me.

 

Note only 1 or 2 may be sensible.

I'd say U2's Bad is very fitting for this, but I guess Bono screaming "I'm Wide Awake" throughout much of the song would be morbid.

R.E.M. - Bad Day

 

Biffy Clyro - Christopher's River

 

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Restless Sinner

 

Has to be done: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme

 

One for the cremation: Bloodhound Gang - Fire, Water, Burn

 

I'd love to see the look on the crowds faces when Jimmy Pop sings "We don't need no water let the mother fucker burn. Burn mother fucker burn" (im being cremated)

hmm, might leave instructions for that one to be a sing-along

 

I wonder if i could rig it so they bring the coffin but forget my body? :laughing: that would be great!

I'd like a song that's related to my death.

 

e.g. If I die in a fire related accident then I'd like Prodigy - Firestarter to be played. If I die of suffocation then I'd like Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe.
