[abstractmentality]

not sure about mine right now. but i know my mom wants John Lennon - Imagine, followed by Digital Underground - Humpty Dumpty. she says funerals are too sad, and would like something to cheer a few people up. lol.

[red senator]

If my funeral is in a christian church, then I want something like "Haille Sallasse, up your ass" or an equally anti-religous piece by marylin manson.

Go to the grave pissing people off.

[Rob]

I'd want the Internationale followed by Many Rivers to Cross by Jimmy Cliff.

[AsThMaxX]

i would want them to play coma black!!!!!!!!!

[Avamatha]

As abstractmentality said, Imagine would be a cool one. But, I'd like them to play happy songs.

Like

...

Umm...

Simon&Garfunkel - Cecilia (for my name is Anna-Cecilia, and I LOVVVVEEEEE that song)
And other 60's and 70's hippie songs :D

The swinging blue jeans and Hippie hippie shake would be cool. :D

[man in the red suit]

Alicen Krauss and cradle of filth at the same time.

That would be one hell of a song.

[Red Anarchy]

Internationale is a good one

[ComradeChe]

The man who sold the world by Nirvana

[ComradeJunichi]

I'd want to play Rage Against the Machine - Wake Up. That would be funny. And then I'd get up and scare everyone..................
sorry that was a very lame joke

[suffianr]

Dj Tiesto (Destination Sunshine), Schiller (Das Glockenspiel) or Jamiroquai (Deeper Underground)...

[chomsky student]

the smiths "ASLEEP"

[sugarcandy113]

if i was 2 have all the songs i wanted my funeral would last for days, some of them would b:

Finch - A Song For You
Letters To You

Less Than Jake - HIstory Of A Boring Town

Pennywise - Fuck Authority

King Prawn - Smoke Some Shit

And many others i cannot think of just now

[Anonymous]

well my funerall will be most likely a christian funerall, since my family is all christian, well i would like to "hear" Heresy, from Nine inch nails (Your god is dead and no one acres, if there is a hell I will see you there!!! HE HE!) And Dead Souls from NIN as weell!! just to piss my family off, Then preharps Staiway to heaven from led Zappelin, then Know your enemy from Rage and for the grand finale Freedom, from rage as well! Now that will be a hell of a good funerall, maby i will write a note saying i want to suicide by jumping of a cliff, say ythe musics i want to be played in my funneral, then hide in the cemetery and wait for my funneral!!!!

But one thing i would like to do is, before i die, contact a satanic group, say to them that after i die they can take my body, slice it and spread my body in my hometown! now that would be cool!

[RebelWithACause]

I would love to have Bob Marley and Eryka Badu 'No More Trouble' that would be cool cos I'm all into survival and it's not ncessarily about race if you don't want it to be!

[Vladimir]

Rammstein - Ich Will, now that would be cool, naaa i would have imagine or a soldiers song
Something irish, anti british.

rolling stones?!? agh. That would be the last song I woud want played at my funeral. lol. If I heard that song at my grandma's funeral, I would probably leave.

[I Will Deny You]

"One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. I never liked them much, but there's a line in there that says "I'm the one who's always laughing at a funeral." So it's fitting. Lots of mellow stuff . . . there's a slow song by Tom Petty that I always really liked. I can't remember the name of it now, but it's track 9 on the CD that has "You Don't Know How It Feels" on it. Lots of slow blues.

Lindsay

[Mazdak]

"Particle Man" by "they might be giants"
dont ask me why

[Anne]

I think I would like
Dust to Dust by the Misfits
Amazing Grace, done by Dropkick Murphy's
Gavity Rides Everything, by Modest Mouse
and maybe to be funny Another One Bites the Dust^_^

If I was murdered it would be great if The Velevet Underground's Murder Mystery was played

Hrm....also if I died in a plane crash, or a boat accidnet or a fire Modest Mouse's Shit Luck would be good. Rahter cruel for friends/family though, so maybe not^_^

[Felicia]

I wouldn't want music played at my funeral, but I suppose it's best to decide now or my parents will play some old country crap (no offence if anyone likes country) I would turn over in my coffin! I just had a thought, assuming that I die of old age (and I hope I live that long), my parents wont be around so that eliminates the whole purpose of this post, bye everyone :)

how could anyone on the left like country music? They are all hardcore patriots. for example; after sept/11 about 10 different singer raced to record a song about what happened, how much they loved america and how they will follow america blindy. (I only know this because my dad listens to country in the car) Country singers are way too nationist.
