Funeral song?

[Ron Jeremy]

Lay it down- Ratt

 

[Sloane]

Dropkick Murphys - Curse Of A Fallen Soul

 

[edabomb]

"Putting on the ritz" by Taco

Honestly - "The End" by the Doors, it would bring their music to a whole new generation, would be a kick ass way to go out, and would bore a lot of people because they can't stand 11min songs

 

[MILLWALL]

It would be trippy to have there but its true most people wont stay at your funeral but it has to be in the top 5 of greatests songs

 

[Rexxy]

Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno) - The Tramps.

No seriously, this is a great thread, and I'd like "Death Is Not The End" the version with Nick Cave and Shane McGowen.

That or Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer singing Redemption Song

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Good choices, although I'd be perfectly happy with Marley's version of "Redeption Song"

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

'Get Dancin' - Disco Tex and the Sex-o-lettes
'Push The Little Daisies' - Ween
'Never Tear Us Apart' - INXS (for someone who got ripped apart by wild dogs)

 

[Bastard Squad]

Song for Guy - Elton John

 

[sydraider]

A tout le monde- Megadeth

 

[girvie]

Kickstart My Heart- Motley Crew

 

[PJ Marshal]

Bitter Sweet Symthony - The Verve
Made In Heaven - Queen
Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen
I Want to Break Free - Queen

and the one to see me off

November Rain - Guns and Roses

 

[et]

The Crystal Ship - The Doors - "Deliver me from reasons why... you'd rather cry... I'd rather fly"
Let it Be - The Beatles "And when the night is cloudy, There is still a light that shines on me, Shine on until tomorrow, Let It Be. I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be."

Or for a bit more depressing touch:
Fire and Rain - James Taylor
Dust in the Wind - Kansas:
"I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

 

[LESStar58]

Carry Me HOme- The Living End
Many Rivers To Cross- Jimmy Cliff
When The War Is Over- Cold Chisel
Hurt- Nine Inch Nails

 

[Anonymous]

Hallelujah sung by Jeff Buckley

 

[Bobby DIGital]

My Way - Frank Sinatra

 

[Jono Russell]

maria carey and boys 2 men - one sweet day

 

[Dean Moriarty]

That or Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer singing Redemption Song

I'll just wait until I get upstairs and get a live version.

I'd go for "Sick Bed of Cuchullain" by the Pogues:

"Then you sing a song of liberty for blacks and Paks and Jocks
And they take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box
They take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you stick your head back out and shout
Let's have another round!"

 

[Bella]

James Taylor's Fire and Rain for me.
Or Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum (from the Remember the Titans soundtrack) for something a bit more cheery.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Bro Hymn- Pennywise

 

[JoeysWheelchair]

Millencolin - The Ballad
New Found Glory - Ending in Tragedy

Dude you are way too emo. The Ballad is a top song though.
