What song will they play at your funeral?
« on: May 20, 2009, 07:59:23 PM »
Morbid topic huh?

I really want this song played at mine.  It is specified in my will and my attorney has the CD in a vault.

How about you?
Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

I always tell my son I want to be cremated and placed in a clear jar on the mantel so I can see out.   :-)

I'm going to be cremated and mixed with resin....then made into keychains for friends and family, so they always carry me with them.

Well I'm 36 so this song may be painfully unhip 80 years from now but here goes....  :uhsure:

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

The song I chose is from 1927, so don't worry about it.

I like your song. (though I hope you don't go by way of a heart attack) :p

I've chosen lung cancer myself but not to worry, I nearly have enough "Camel Bucks" for an iron lung already.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I don't know if this is the song that will be played at my funeral but when I first heard this song, it seemed so beautiful to me that something akin to this would be what I would hear when I know I am about to depart.  It just echoes with Eternity.

That's what you think.  You have no control over the situation.  Funerals are for the living.

Exactly.  I hope they have a big party.  I'll be in a much better place, so why not celebrate that?

 I don't really want a song. I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered on my first wife's rug. Then I would like a very solemn dance of the twist to ensue to the beat of tom toms preformed  by the neighbors...

I also favor the more traditional funeral songs, and I love this version (would love it for my own funeral):

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQVz6vuNq7s[/youtube]

If I had to go with a more modern song, I'd probably pick Lonestar's Not a Day Goes By

If that's your attitude, Mister, I hope they play Yoko Ono songs and laugh at the terrible job the morticians did on you.
