The Time warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And everyone should dress up like it too. I want people to look back, laugh and say 'thats the way we remember her, suspenders and all!'

"Eleanor Rigby". It's fitting seeing as no one will be at my funeral except for my small family that I don't even like very much.
by zazzy_one on November 23rd, 2006
Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon and Garfunkel. In the 60's, one of my crazy relatives had requested that and they did it. At the TIME, it was considered very, very out there to have a pop song.

So Long, GOodbye and Knocking on Heavens Doors
by kaleil on December 21st, 2006
I don't know the name of the song. I wish I did. I heard it at a black man's funeral in the deep South years ago. During the song, the whole congregation started marching in their seats. No one stood up, they all just started stomping their feet to the music in the rhythm of a really slow march & somehow the way everyone joined in, it just ripped your heart right out of your chest. Does anybody have any guess of what the song is??? I've been wanting to know for YEARS! It was probably a Baptist church.
by mjcarollson on December 1st, 2006

Either that or Battle hymmn of the republic. Maybe followed by some chanting of "Jesus remember me"
by tomsims on December 1st, 2006
I would like "It Is Well With My Soul" played and to have everyone sing.
by Spindizy on November 29th, 2006
I would want two songs, Freebird, and Hear you me by Jimmy Eat world, to which i'll post the video. I have no idea who the girl in the video is, other than she lost someone close to her, but the song is beautiful.
by TheShoemaker on November 25th, 2006

I've already planned my funeral; it'll be the social event of the year, honestly! I'm planning to have a rehearsal, so that I can watch it, because hopefully on the real thing I'll be dead :)
Just a few of the songs I plan to have are the theme tune from Countdown, and the song with the lyrics 'I'm an urban space man baby...'- to which everyone will get up and dance.
by Mediocritycomplex on November 23rd, 2006
There was a poll and as far as I can tell the worlds most popular song to be played at funerals is "Goodbye my Lover" by James Blunt. Second place was Katharine McPhee & Taylor Hicks with "I've Had The Time of My Life"
I'm not planning to die any time soon so I would want something that would get people to second guess by untimely demise, just in case, something like "Alive" by Pearl Jam or "I Just Want to Live" by Good Charlotte.
by sheenashark on November 22nd, 2006
Breakfast by Newsboys.
by lightfly on November 22nd, 2006
David Gray- 'The Other Side'. I posted a video, because I think that song would sound great for a funeral, and I want you to hear it. A very calming song.
by Halskiisaklink on November 22nd, 2006
"Bodies" by the Sex Pistols
by kelevrah on December 23rd, 2006
I'd go with something simple.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
I'd explain but there are many reasons for the choice.

by snakesncrocks on December 1st, 2006
forget me not - lucie silvas - sooo many people would cry !!!!!!
by Godfather Part II on December 1st, 2006
I could say good old Frank's "I did it my way" but that is one of the most popular songs (at least here in the UK).
I would want a secular funeral (no churches or grave yards for me!), so maybe for irony "Highway to Hell", or "Sympathy for the Devil". That would raise some eyebrows!
by Mr. McClister on November 30th, 2006
I would like them to play
At your funeral-Saves the Day
by Ezzy on November 29th, 2006
hear you me by jimmy eat world..it's a really sad song....
by HappyJeans on November 29th, 2006
Feeling Good by Nina Simone becasue I love that song Or Higher and Higher by Jackie Wilson because it's a funky tune and you just can't help dance to it - I don't want people to be sad at my funeral - I would want them all to come in their pajamas.
