And just to be pissy
I wanna be sedated…
I can’t believe no one has said “Don’t fear the Reaper.” Sheesh, guys.
Me? Depends on if I’m going for funny or tear-jerky. Tear-jerky: “Bright Eyes” by Art Garfunkel, or Sarah Mclachlan’s “Prayer of Saint Francis.” Funny: Hmmm. Probably “Welcome to my nightmare” by Alice Cooper.

Elvis Costello’s Couldn’t Call it Unexpected Part II.
Happy Days Are Here Again
Well, as The Big Chill has always been one of my favorite movies:
Rolling Stones’ You Can’t Always Get What You Want
“Walking on Sunshine”, Katrina and the Waves, 'cause I’m sure lots of folks want to see me dead.

“Sad Cowboy Song” by the Red Elvises.
Basic undertone: Life’s hard, it sucks, but there’s always a reason to sing happy songs (even if they’re sad).
Seriously…
“Sweet Virginia Breeze” by the Robbin Thompson Band
and
“Rock and Roll part II” by Gary Glitter
What about “Naughty Girls Need Love Too”? I forget which artist sang it. But I like the title.
Actually I want “Amazing Grace” played on bagpipes. not because I’m Scottish. Not because I particularly like the song. But because everytime they do it in the movies, it makes me tear up, and I don’t want a dry eye in the house at my funeral, dammit!
“Tie Me To the Length of That” by Public Image Limited
“My Way”- Sid’s way
“The End”- The Doors
“Dead Next Door”- Billy Idol
“Electric Graveyard Funk” -The North American Giant Salamander, except I don’t think we ever actually recorded it. One of the great unheard instrumentals of all time.
It’s gotta be “Older” from They Might Be Giants
I want “Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox If I Die” played at my funeral.
Either “Don’t cry for me Argentina” or “Hylas’ Song” (From “les Troyens”) for me.
Or “They’re coming to take me away” by Napoleon XIV.

“Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox” by Joe Diffie.
Purple Haze
I want “Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox If I Die” played at my funeral.
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, by Monty Pyton, sung by Eric Idle
Danny Boy
I always thought Black Peter was a pretty poignant death song, both for the deceased, and those who are left behind.
