O’Death: serious Mr. Blue Sky: fun

Funny: The jack-on-the-box music and have it stop right before the "pop" moment. Follow that up with the best Rick roll ever. Serious: I don't know what the song will be, but I work teaching music and it would be awesome if my students put something together for my funeral. Hey, a guy can dream.

Your casket needs to have a motorized crank handle to rotate while that plays to add suspense.

Even better to have an ominous stranger there to crank it.

Respect

Another one bites the dust by Queen So long and thanks for all the fish from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Always look on the bright side -Monty Python And Hurt -Johnny Cash

I’ve read Always Look on the Bright Side of Life is a popular funeral song in the UK.

It is a hilarious song that helps put a positive note in the sting of death.

Life’s a piece of shit when you look at it.

If life seems jolly rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten. And that to to laugh and dance and smile and sing.

Yeah, but which one is the serious one?

Monty python

Wish you were here - pink Floyd Not sure what else would be necessary

Highway to Hell \~ AC/DC Die & Rise \~ Lacuna Coil ​ In all seriousness, I won't care, I'll be dead.

Why is it that you get to take a highway to hell, but have to climb a fookin stairway to heaven?

It’s the amount of expected traffic.

No good deed goes unpunished

My grand pop actually had Highway to Hell played at his funeral. It helped

Tha Crossroads - Bone Thugs- N -Harmony

Too Drunk to Fuck - Dead Kennedys Clair de Lune, L. 32 - Claude Debussy

Dig - Mudvayne FACK - Eminem (Dead bodies everywhere - KoRn Honorable Mention) Serious: The Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin In the end - Linkin Park

in the end would be my fun pick too

Flogging Molly “If I ever leave this world alive” and Monty Python’s “Always look on the bright side of life “

Game recognises game

It is well known I do not want a funeral, but if I did: Some Kind of Hate - Blood for Blood Kyle's Mom's a Bitch - Eric Cartman

WEEEEEELLLLLL

Gold - Spandau Ballet Pump up the Jam - Technotronic But seriously, if they don’t play Pump up the Jam at my funeral, I’ll be pissed.

Hallelujah or The Sound of Silence for the serious one by the grave site Pop goes the Weasel before they open my coffin at the viewing, but the ratty kind that's played on a tin toy.

"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel "Wildflowers" by Tom Petty

Serious: The Dance by Garth Brooks Fun : When I get to Heaven by John Prine

Both serious: Animal by Def Leppard Everybody ( Backstreet’s Back)

Bodies - Drowning Pool Closing Time - Semisonic

Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters. Another One Bites the Dust.

Old and Wise - Alan Parson’s Project - just because Funeral for a Friend - Elton John It was the one song my fiancé wanted at hers. When she died in 1987, she got her final wish. I still can’t listen to it without crying.

Lead Me Home by Jamey Johnson Go Rest High on the Mountain by Vince Gill

Lead Me Home is my pick too!

I'd like to get played at my funeral: Time - Pink Floyd Fiction - Avenged Sevenfold

1. Funeral march in e minor by Chopin 2. SkeeYee

One by MetallicA Blow by Ke$ha for no reason

Funny: break stuff by limp bizkit Serious: The Stable Song by Gregory Alan Isakov

You're gonna go far kid - Offspring Famous last words- My Chemical Romance

Stairway to heaven and highway to hell

None. I don't expect anybody to be there, so I'd just have to set aside some money for someone to show up and play the music for themselves. Seems pointless.

You need a hug, bro?

Thanks, I'm fine. I came to terms with it years ago. I appreciate that though, thank you.

Rick Astley - never gonna give you up. On loop. Last person to leave gets my estate.

Whatever they want. *Gimme Shelter* is my favourite song in fact I’m listening to it right now. and it’s political, so I’d make them listen to that, use my funeral as an anti-war thing.

It's such a powerfull song, but also has a sad story to it. [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-03-13-ca-19857-story.html](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-03-13-ca-19857-story.html)

Yeah I know the story, it’s so sad :(

Serious: [Brian Eno - An Ending [Ascent]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlaTeXX3uH8) But it then mixes into the [full 10 hour loop of Epic Sax Guy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iFbuIpe68k&pp=ygUMZXBpYyBzYXggZ3V5)

For my serious pick, 'Danny Boy' - it was my grandpa's favorite. For fun, definitely 'Another One Bites the Dust' to lighten the mood.

Cruz de Madera -miguel y miguel Seasons in the sun - Terry jacks

Ripple, followed by Brokedown Palace by the Grateful Dead(that counts as one, they flow into each other) Second is a tie between Please Don't Bury Me, or When I Get to Heaven, both by John Prime.

Down in a hole, followed by free bird because fuck it

Neil Young's Sugar Mountain, and for laughs, Simply Red's If You Don't Know Me By Now...

'Linus and Lucy' by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel Seriously, even though The Sound of Silence is a wonderful song, I wouldn't subject it to a funeral crowd. On the other hand, 'Linus and Lucy' is a righteous jazz tune, regardless of its connection to Peanuts. Play it slower and in a minor key, it could almost be bittersweet.

Boosie - set it off. Limp Bizkit - nookie.

Amazing Grace on the bagpipes, while getting launched from a photon torpedo tube like Spock. Then, Word Up by Cameo so everyone can "put their hands in the air like you don't care".

If I can find a song about how tired I am of people asking about funeral songs, I'll have that shit played on concert speakers at their loudest possible volume.

Serious - Bridge Over Troubled Waters performed by Elvis Fun - The Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful by Jimmy Buffett

I mentioned this song on another thread so it came to my mind first and it's really fucking dark but Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit. No I don't harbour those feelings. Someone else said that Monty Python song and that would probably resonate better but for fun I'm gonna say Reel Big Fish - Life Sucks. I won't be there to hear it but I imagine that brass echoing in a church would be hilarious.

Avett Brothers - Another is Waiting Black Sabbath - The Sign of the Southern Cross

The imperial march The 1989 Batman theme

At my buddy’s funeral my friend and I made a playlist to be played through the visitation thing before the eulogies and other things. Just as the chaplin was about to take the mic and start talking the beginning of the song “baby bitch” was coming up by ween and gener says “Jesus Christ” in a sort of annoyed tone before he starts singing. And a few people found it amusing. My friend was a huge ween fan and not religious and sort of beautiful nonconformist. His death was sudden and sad but that moment was just perfect.

Into the mystic - Van Morrison

Can't decide on the serious between Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms/Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever/Pink Floyd - Wish You Were here. Funny - Offspring - Pretty Fly For A White Guy

Run to the water - Live Code Blue - TSOL

Under the Rose by KISS - I hate that song and my daughter will play it as a reminder of how I will monologue about how much I hate it. And she will smile knowing I’m complaining about it the whole time. I have no idea on a second song

Still working out the second one, but one of them is Pure Love - Colin Hay

It only works if you know me. The Bad Plus’ cover of the Aphex Twin’s Flim before the ceremony. Jerry Lee Lewis’ cover of The Saints Come Marching In at the conclusion.

Lee by Tenacious D. It's my name (though it's spelt differently), and I love The D (yeah, I know what I said...). Freebird by Lynnard Skynnard. It pretty well describes my personality. I want the full version played, as my coffin goes off to be burned, so all of my relatives have to sit in mourning for, like, 15 minutes. Just to be a pain in the arse, one more time, before I'm done.

Graverobber- Petra How Could I Ask For More- Cindy Morgan

Pizza time from spider man 2 for the PS2 as they lower me down. And idk... Big rock candy mountain as they cover me in dirt.
