    What would you have

    some by queen for me
    bicycle race,
    39 (if i die at 39),
    a winters tale(if i die in winter),
    All dead all dead,
    another one bites the dust
    dead on time
    death on two legs
    don't try suicide(if i did)
    heaven for everyone
    i want to brake free
    let me live
    to much love will kill you(if i die on the job)
    who wants to live for ever.

    Eh, I don't know that I'll have a real funeral, simply because that whole thing creeps me out, as does the whole casket and ground thing, but if I had a funeral, it'd be in Hawaii. I want to be made part of some reef somewhere in the ocean. I'd have them play happy songs, but I can't think of any that would be appropriate at the moment.

    Jimi Hendrix Experience - If 6 Was 9 - Not only because it's a good song, but I'd love for everyone to be forced to sit through the annoying Moroccan flutes at the end.

    "Queen Jane Approximately" - Bob Dylan... for a sad tune.

    Then they can break out "Sympathy For The Devil" or some other strange, inappropriate, Stones tune. :p

    That would be helarious (in some sick way) if the music director at a funeral accidently put on "Celebrate Good Times" right in the middle of everything! :D

    For mine, I would want "In My Life" or "Let it Be" or "Yesterday"....but it would have to be a beatles song, to go with my (almost) lifetime obsession!

    It'd be even funnier if everybody got up and started dancing. :p

    "Let It Be" is a really good choice. [​IMG]

    Dark horizons or Underworld domain - dargaard -soooo cool!
    the way i do - HIM - that would be really funny!
    greenday - time of your life
    Evenstar - Lord of the rings soundtrack ( two towers) - love that piece of music
    The heart asks pleasure first - Michael Nyman
    the man who sold the world - Nirvana version
    safe home - anthrax
    here comes the sun - the beatles
    the end - the doors

    The music would all be really overdramatic and stuff - with the exception of nirvana and anthrax and the beatles....itd be really funny.

    peace and love

    If I were to die in the next months or year or whatever, I'd like to play something really 80s and silly, because that's basically how I'd describe myself, sorta like at the funeral in Love Actually. I'd want "If You Leave" by OMD or anything by Cyndi Lauper to represent my personality, then "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" by Oasis, because it would be like from a movie, and anybody who knows me is aware of my love for movie/tv music, and then I'd want "California" by Phantom Planet, because it would represent my love for The OC, and it would kind of mean something, like "Here we come, right back where we started from", you know?

    If I become an interior decorator for some reason when I'm older, I'd want "Death Of An Interior Decorator" by Death Cab For Cutie to play.

    I'd like to have The Who's 'Hall of the Mountain King' and 'Secret Agent Man' from Austin Powers playing one after another, repeating like that for an hour or so.
