    Songs at funerals

    According to this article, the top 3 songs played at funerals are Frank Sinatra's My Way, Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life and Angels by Robbie Williams.

    Play Monty Python at my funeral? Over my dead body.


    Oh.

    Right.


    Seriously - what would be the song that would best reflect your life?

    Always thought that I would like to have Queens "Don't stop me now" played at mine.

    Happy Dancing.

    What about Soft Cell's 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' ( the 10" version) !!

    or 'Going Underground' ????


    I've chosen tracks for my funeral before but always forget which ones - or change my mind. SAHB's 'Next' maybe ??

    It must be "Dance the Night Away"

    That's not for me BTW, that's for Trampy's funeral!

    Re: Songs at funerals

    I most definitely won't have "Call On Me" after all, what would be the point?

    "Comfortably Numb", "The Only Way Is Up", or "Back To Life" are tempting, but there must be better than than...

    Maybe it was "Murder On The Dancefloor?"

    "shake Your Body" would do it, if only it was a better track!

    And just in case anyone is eaten up by me departure, how about
    "Live Close By Visit Often"

    At least you could be happy that you could no longer hear it.

    Happy Dancing

    That's cruel! I mean, making him spin in his grave before he's even got to his grave...
