    If I died in these times (in my 20's) I want Mott The Hoople's and David Bowie's 1972 song "All The Young Dudes".

    "Don't wanna stay alive when you're twenty-five"

    I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
    Alive as you and me.
    Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
    "I never died" said he,
    "I never died" said he.
    "In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him,
    him standing by my bed,
    "They framed you on a murder charge,"
    Says Joe, "But I ain't dead,"
    Says Joe, "But I ain't dead."
    "The Copper Bosses killed you Joe,
    they shot you Joe" says I.
    "Takes more than guns to kill a man"
    Says Joe "I didn't die"
    Says Joe "I didn't die"
    And standing there as big as life
    and smiling with his eyes.
    Says Joe "What they can never kill
    went on to organize,
    went on to organize"
    From San Diego up to Maine,
    in every mine and mill,
    where working-men defend their rights,
    it's there you find Joe Hill,
    it's there you find Joe Hill!
    I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night,
    alive as you and me.
    Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
    "I never died" said he,
    "I never died" said he.
    Paul Robeson and Pete Seeger often performed this song and are associated with it, along with renowned Irish folk singer Luke Kelly. Joan Baez's Woodstock performance of "Joe Hill" in 1969 is the most well-known recording

    Has to be - 4 Non Blondes - What's up

    anyone remember it?

    25 years of my life and still
    I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
    For a destination
    I realized quickly when I knew I should
    That the world was made up of this
    Brotherhood of man
    For whatever that means
    So I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed
    To get it all out what's in my head
    Then I start feeling a little peculiar
    So I wake in the morning and I step
    Outside I take deep breath
    I get real high
    Then I scream from the top of my lungs
    What's goin' on
    And I say hey...
    And I say hey what's goin' on
    And I say hey...
    I said hey what's goin' on
    And I try, oh my God do I try
    I try all the time
    In this institution
    And I pray, oh my God do I pray
    I pray every single day
    For a revolution
    So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
    To get it all out what's in my head
    Then I start feeling a little peculiar
    So I wake in the morning and I step outside
    I take a deep breaththen I get real high
    Then I scream from the top of my lungs
    What's goin' on
    And I say hey...
    And I say hey what's goin' on
    And I say hey...
    I said hey what's goin' on
    And I say hey...
    And I say hey what's goin' on
    And I say hey...
    I said hey what's goin' on
    25 years of my life and still
    I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
    For a destination

    Never thought about it. There are two Dropkick Murphy's songs, "Curse of a fallen soul" and "Amazing Grace" , that would make great funeral songs.

    Thier Amazing Grace is a punk version with bagpipes and a few oi oi's thrown in that really rocks.

    "I Am The Walrus" by the BEATLES, not some stupid cover.
    I love that song.
    Since it's MY funeral, I'd want it to be a celebration of ME, so we'd play MY favorite songs.
    Everyone would have to be quiet while it was playing, though. I hate it when people talk over music. RESPECT THE MUSIC, people!
