Been very busy putting together my bye-bye party.

Sounds very macabre, but I rather have them do it RIGHT.



Musically I have opted for;

John Lennon; Across THe Universe Anthology version

and

Serenade for Winds, K. 361; 3rd Movement by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as performed on the Amadeus soundtrack.

My Death - David Bowie

I want Saturday Night Fever played at my funeral.

Oh, hang on a minute...I ain't ever gonna die.

Hmmm, after a lot of thought, I've opted for "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo.

and a camp song to have would be...

get happy - judy garland

Cantus in memory of Benjamin Britten, from Tabula Rasa by Arvo Part !!

The rest is prob. by P.

Sigur Ros - Vidar Vel Til Loftarasa

Eels - P.S. You Rock My World

good thought there...

I don't know what I'd want played during the "memorial service." However, all my close friends know that afterwards I expect them to dance to Fools Gold by the Stone Roses. I may be gone, but they'll be able to find me in that beat.

abierman said:

Ooooh, fantastic choice.

I don't think I'd want music played at all. Everything I'm coming up with is too melodramatic or overwrought. Hell, just play "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead, that'll do.

well,
if i could get my family to cooperate!
"la vie en rose" by GRACE JONES...
preach!!!

I doesn't matter what music is played for me. I won't be able to listen to it anyway.

My ceremony will be pretty simple. As you enter the arena, you'll be handed a maglite. Just the small ones, I'm not wealthy. As the last straggler walks into the place, the lights go out, and "EVERYBODY'S GOT A LITTLE LIGHT UNDER THE SUN" will kick off the 12" version of FLASH LIGHT.

Sure. No one will understand the meaning, but who gives a fuck. It's my funeral. I want my shoebox (I'll be ashes) placed on one of the huge subwoofers so I can feel that bass line.

The song I told you I was ill

Funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding-elton john



Or maybe fade to black-metallica

can't decide.

hmmm...rather not think about it just yet..

but: at my great grandpa's funeral the silly loudspeaker pumped a musak version of "My Way"..lets just say our family had a very "Chuckles Dies" moment...

here are a few of mine



Song For Guy -- Elton John
Sometimes It Snows In April -- Prince
Rain -- Madonna
Praying For Time -- George Michael
Where Are You Now -- Janet Jackson




there are others, but i'm so ashamed of their dorkiness that i won't mention them

a little song, a little dance... a little seltzer in your pants

Treasure by The Cure


She whispers
"Please remember me
When I am gone from here"

She whispers
"Please remember me
but not with tears...

Remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it’s better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry"

"Remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it’s better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry"

I was at a funeral the day i realized
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the
old post office
The flag was flying at half-mast
And i was thinking' bout how
everyone is dying

And maybe it's time to live

I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Walked in to the Thrif-tee
Saw the man with the hollow eyes
who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't bother me this time
'cause I know I've only got
this moment
And it's good
I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car

I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Laying in bed tonight I was thinking
and listening to all the dogs
and the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries
to dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk

And maybe it's time to live

hmmm...never thought much about it but,Sometimes It Snows In April would be pretty fitting?

JonSnow said:

wow... this was going to be mine too. good taste my friend.

Only if you die in April

abierman said:

Nonsense. The song isn't titled "Sometimes you DIE in April" and the lyrics aren't about dying in April. They're about odd things happening that you don't expect to happen... LIKE dying when you don't expect someone to die.

u r stupid! LOL!! the visual i got when reading this was 2 much...

OK, I decided -

"Metal Machine Music" by Lou Reed.

It's fun to see what people want to tell the ones that are left by the music they chose.

I am with Darin; but I want to make them cry very hard first and then send them off to a party where they can get plastered and dance and eat.

I Would Die 4 U - Prince
We Are The Dead - David Bowie
Die Another Day - Madonna
