What song do you
want them to play
at your funeral?
Yes, I know you’re probably never going to die and even if you do you won’t be around to care what anyone does to commemorate you after you’re gone, but–just for funsies–what’s the one song you want to make sure they play at the ceremony celebrating the life you once lived? And just for more funsies, what would be the WORST song they could play instead?
I’ve thought pretty hard about this (for the past 10 minutes) and I’ve decided that my funeral will DEFINITELY be a failure if at no point do we hear his royal purpleness, The Artist, explain to everyone present that “This is what it sounds like When Doves Cry.”
And it will also definitely be a failure if at some point everyone present hears Kenny Chesney assert that “She thinks my tractor’s sexy.”
Now it’s your turn!
…better late than never, but I choose Gabriel Faure’s Requiem in D minor Op. 48, the fifth movement, entitled “Agnus Dei” – I’ve always loved this part of it especially…

I think “Live Like That” by Sidewalk Prophets would be a great funeral song.
And the live acoustic version is great:

“So What?” Miles Davis, http://youtu.be/zqNTltOGh5c
Not…”The End”, The Doors, http://youtu.be/JSUIQgEVDM4
I like that Tony has this all choreographed.
I once thought that this would be a great funeral song, and now I cannot hear it without thinking about it being played at my funeral, which in some ways has ruined one of the greatest songs ever.
