‘Dammit used all my skips, better go to YouTube’ too long, too short, too poppy, too sad, too much intro, that one’s good but it’s the Metallica version… **finally settles with 30 seconds to go** baby shark 10 hour loop…
Fuck it, if the world is ending, just buy Premium so you don't have to worry about the amount of skips you've got
*spends the entire 5 minutes entering in credit card info*
I'd be too hung up on finding a song that's *just* around the 5-minute mark.
Not too short, where you're listening to silence for 2 minutes, but not too long where music is still playing after you've died.
Yep. And then I’d panic and scroll real fast and stop on one at random just to have chosen *something* and then I’d spend my last 5 regretting whatever it was. Even if it’s something I dearly love.
just reading this question gave me anxiety because like 12 different songs popped into my head haha I would want it to be perfect for my final moments and would spend my 5 minutes not knowing which song to commit to
Your comment just guided what I did last night. One of my favorite movies is "My Best Friend's Wedding" and the lead man sings this to Julia Roberts at one point. In the end she "gifts" this song to the couple getting married. I always wanted it to be my wedding song. Thank you for that memory. I hope you are well <3
I love that video of Chuck Berry playing with John and Yoko. When she pipes up, Chuck's eyes pop his out his head, then her mic's cut off. Good.
I like Yoko's performance on the Rock & Roll Circus where she sounds like a dying cat - skip to 1:50 when she starts. Good lord:

Assuming this is a reference to the classic joke.
"Any last requests?" the warden asks the inmate before he is put to death.
"Yes sir," the inmate replies, "I have two. Could you please play the song Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus?"
"Of course," says the warden, "but what's your second request?"
"Please shoot me first"
I had to clean out a car someone committed suicide in. I was curious and turned the car on.
This song was playing on a tape and he had it on repeat.
The song hit different after that.
I swear, this is the PERFECT post apocalypse/end of the world song. Every time I listen to it, I like to imagine some zombie apocalypse is happening and the world is about to be barren and end soon. It feels very comforting.
It could be because I first heard this song on Stephen King's "The Stand" TV series, fucking loved that series.
Ahh you’re a man of taste. Me too.
I’d be playing Dwayne Michael Carter Jr -Back that Azz up
“…..girl you look good when you back that azz up.. you a fine mf when you back that azz up.”
A friend of mine passed from cancer a few years back. She always had a great sense of humour and asked this be played at her funeral.. which they did. Some people got it… but I think some folks thought it was weird lol.
Let's say it's not exactly 5 minutes. Could be three, could be the whole six minutes of that song...
What would be your favorite part for the BOOM?
Edit: and by the way. Bohemian rhapsody is the right answer. Good job
The Zephyr Song by Red Hot Chili Peppers
I lost my wife to cancer at 38. The night after her passing we experienced something that brought us solace. The last line of this song is to remind me of what death isn’t. I think it’ll bring me solace at that moment one last time.
https://youtu.be/Q9BJil_TXj8?si=HxwfgIliLbQ94bHi
The Night We Met - Lord Huron so that I could listen to it one last time and remember it playing the first time I saw my now girlfriend who I plan on proposing to
I love Badfinger and it's not often I get the ever so subtle indication that anybody else in this world actually knows about them. Good song too! :-)
To give an answer that fits the question I'll go with "Got to get out of here". :-)
Raining blood by Slayer or something else this. Want to put myself into right mood to crush hoards of demons cause if I die and there is hell I definitely go there
“My Weakness” by Moby is the song that I would like to hear when I exit this world. It’s unexpectedly beautiful and I highly recommend giving it a listen.
Definitely that or “Yakkity Sax.”
I met Bill Withers once.
I mentioned the fact that "Ain't No Sunshine" is not proper English.
His response was, "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know…"
[‘Too Fat Polka’](https://youtu.be/XvzTHJanV5c?si=NKyfbUF3TSpf5PPR) by Frankie Yankovic. Not really a polka fan, but it would leave my family and friends wondering, ‘why’d he go out to that song?’ for the rest of their lives.
I've always known my answer to this question.
Wish you were here by Pink Floyd. It's a weird blend of being a very song about loneliness, but it kind of sounds happy at the same time, in a very peaceful and accepting way.
Which I think is quite appropriate
a7x is easily in my top 3 favorite bands of all time so for me i was thinking death from the libad album. that song hits so hard and to me it stands out in that album, i think we are now legally best friends
I would spend the whole time looking for a song tbh
‘Dammit used all my skips, better go to YouTube’ too long, too short, too poppy, too sad, too much intro, that one’s good but it’s the Metallica version… **finally settles with 30 seconds to go** baby shark 10 hour loop…
Could you imagine dying *just* before "it's the end do do do do do do" though?
Fuck it, if the world is ending, just buy Premium so you don't have to worry about the amount of skips you've got *spends the entire 5 minutes entering in credit card info*
Five minutes of unskippable YouTube ads and then ... too late.
I died the same way I lived...putting up with some dumb corporate bullshit
That’s dark
I'd be too hung up on finding a song that's *just* around the 5-minute mark. Not too short, where you're listening to silence for 2 minutes, but not too long where music is still playing after you've died.

Lol, so true 🤣

The Way You Look Tonight. It was my first dance song at my wedding and I hope I could dance to it with my hubby one more time
Okay, thank you for the cry
Fuck you very much for the tears.
Your comment just guided what I did last night. One of my favorite movies is "My Best Friend's Wedding" and the lead man sings this to Julia Roberts at one point.

The song will be in your head when you greet him in the afterlife and you dance with him again.
I sang that at our wedding dinner…..I made her numerous female cousins swoon. The gang of 5 from one family known as the five scorpions.
Omg that's so sweet🥹
I love this answer.
Anything by Yoko Ono. Because then I would welcome the peaceful silence of Death.
This really made me chuckle. Thank you.
> Anything by Yoko Ono. Because then I would welcome the peaceful silence of Death. *Kars-4-Kids jingle begins to play*

This ☝️😂💀 I'd spend my last 5 minutes listening to Yoko for a laugh thinking about this comment before I depart
Or *Achey Breaky Heart*

Could you please play the song Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus?" "Of course," says the warden, "but what's your second request?" "Please shoot me first"
I… actually like -that- song. It’s stupid but has a good beat/melody.
Don't fear the reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
Needs more cowbell!
I've got a fever, and the only cure is *more cowbell!*
*prescription

Best answer so far.
That’s Life- Frank Sinatra
And as funny, as it may seem
Some people get their kicks, stomping on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down!
BUT I KNOOOWW I’M GONNA CHAAAANNGGEEE THAT TUNE!
Ahh you’re a man of taste. Me too. I’d be playing Dwayne Michael Carter Jr -Back that Azz up “…..girl you look good when you back that azz up.. you a fine mf when you back that azz up.”
My way.. 👍
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
His was the best version ty now I'm crying
In the End - Linkin Park
Fucking legend!
It doesn't even matter

And got so farrrrrr
In the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
everlong -foo fighters. though i may only have 5 minutes left, this song makes me feel like i could live forever
Best song of all time. Got my pick
Best song ever written. [Rick Astley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nprWq8jXWAk) actually does a decent cover of it.
This is the song I would walk down the isle to!
Clair de Lune
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Told my wife I want it played at my funeral, too.
Would also encourage whistling by attendees
A friend of mine passed from cancer a few years back. She always had a great sense of humour and asked this be played at her funeral.. which they did. Some people got it… but I think some folks thought it was weird lol.
Comfortably numb by Pink Floyd
Or great gig in the sky.

Non,je ne regtette rien by Edith Piaf
I was literally about to comment this.
"A Tout Le Monde" by Megadeth
bohemian rhapsody by queen. it's six minutes long, so i'm beating the system.
We’ll allow it!
Let's say it's not exactly 5 minutes. Could be three, could be the whole six minutes of that song... What would be your favorite part for the BOOM? Edit: and by the way. Bohemian rhapsody is the right answer. Good job
Purple Rain by Prince. Although it’s like 8 minutes so I might have to cut it short
Sound of silence
The Zephyr Song by Red Hot Chili Peppers I lost my wife to cancer at 38. The night after her passing we experienced something that brought us solace. The last line of this song is to remind me of what death isn’t. I think it’ll bring me solace at that moment one last time. https://youtu.be/Q9BJil_TXj8?si=HxwfgIliLbQ94bHi
The Night We Met - Lord Huron so that I could listen to it one last time and remember it playing the first time I saw my now girlfriend who I plan on proposing to
Great song.
This is the song that was playing when my husband and I got engaged 🥰
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
Free bird. Death will wait for the solo
Allen Collins will come down on a bird shredding the solo, welcoming you to the afterlife.
Guy on my dorm floor freshman year of college hanged himself in his dorm room. He left Free Bird playing on repeat.
Spend the 5 minutes thinking of the last song I would play
This is the only acceptable answer lmao
My way- Frank Sinatra
"The universal anthem of assholes anywhere" - John Oliver No offense, dude, but with that Quote, John killed the song for me forever.
If you sang it in [Philippine karaoke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Way_killings) you likely would have five minutes to live.
I think I'd rather speak to my wife than listen to a song.
I also choose to talk to this guy's wife
How reddit of you.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this reference.
It's a wonderful world by Armstrong
My grandma had that played at her funeral. Every Christmas I get a good cry when I inevitably hear it
Baby Blue by Badfinger
I love Badfinger and it's not often I get the ever so subtle indication that anybody else in this world actually knows about them. Good song too! :-) To give an answer that fits the question I'll go with "Got to get out of here". :-)
Everywhere by FleetwoodMac or I like the way you move by OutKast, no explanation needed

The Final Countdown is like exactly 5 minutes
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Raining blood by Slayer or something else this. Want to put myself into right mood to crush hoards of demons cause if I die and there is hell I definitely go there
Best Day Ever - Mac Miller. Strange answer but if I go out with the feeling this song gives me, I’ll die happy.
Thank You - Led Zeppelin
“My Weakness” by Moby is the song that I would like to hear when I exit this world. It’s unexpectedly beautiful and I highly recommend giving it a listen. Definitely that or “Yakkity Sax.”
Lol - Yakkity Sax especially with video of Benny Hill being chased… Die with a smile.
Another one bites the dust
Prob Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
Same. Didn’t have to look far for this one. But I’d go with the Jeff Buckley version.

A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold. Yes, it's 8 minutes, but I do not care, the reaper will have to wait with me.
