What One Song Do You Want Played at Your Funeral?

Me, I'd really want "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison.

"...Let your soul and spirit fly as we sail into the mystic..."

That's difficult question..probably Space Oddity by David Bowie. Poor Major Tom... sad

Imago: "You look sexy You know, that kind of super-hot, cuteness that gets a guy raped in prison. sexy"

My cover of the "Crush" by Smashing Pumpkins: http://prince.org/msg/15/314710.

I feel the same way. But maybe this one that Warren Zevon wrote after he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer:



I'm numb as a statue
I may have to beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
So I can have some feelings too

I'm pale as a ghost
You know what I love about you
That's what I need the most
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
So I can have some feelings too

I don't care if it's superficial
You don't have to dig down deep
Just bring enough for the ritual
And get here before I fall asleep

Ain't nothing special
When the present meets the past
I've always taken care of business
I've paid my first and last

Music is ALWAYS the worst part at a funeral...no music for me. lol

I've built a wall not to block anyone out, but to see who loves me enough to climb over it.

I don't want people to be horribly sad at my funeral and I want them to remember how I lived my life so I'm going to make sure they play stuff like this:

Who the fuck is Prince?

'My Way' by Frank Sinatra lol

Okay obviously that isn't my real choice I just think its a funny one...

Probably something by Prince or Ben Folds but most probably both!

JaneyPoos used to be it... then they changed what it was. Now what I am isn't it and what is it is strange and frightening to me...


I survived the Org Depression Spring 2003

When I was a teen it was always Zeppelins' 'Stairway to Heaven'. I'm not too sure now, maybe a blues song by my late great friend Jessie Younan or Slipknots 'Vermillion Part II'... hmmm
