Songs to have played at yer Funeral!


Recommended Posts

Dennis (BiP) raised this in another topic.

Something I've thought about since I was a lad?

I don't want none of those Hymn thingys!

What about one of those New Orleans style funerals?

I went to a funeral at Bramcote, For a bloke that I knew where we worked, But suffering the music they played there, Made me wish it was one that I'd shirked. I wouldn't have minded George For

This was the one I had played for my Sue.

As folk arrive "Campfire's Burning" - homage to my Scouting days During "Flash, Bang, Wallop" by Tommy Steele - homage to my camera club As folk leave "I'm On Fire" by Bruce Springsteen,

I've already told my other half that I want The King singing 'How great thy are' as they carry me in, and maybe 'Memories' when everyone is leaving - I wonder if you can hear them!!!!

Just 3 tunes for me , on the way in " you'll never take me alive " by Spear of Destiny .

As they light me up "firestarter twisted firestarter" Prodigy

Finish off with that 70s disco classic "Disco Inferno" by the Tramps burn baby burn .

p1$$ up in Marquis of Lorn sunny Radford no real ale just chemical infused lager and them bottles you stick a piece of lime in the top .....ooh and free alcopops and fags for all the local kid in DA area .

Off to rock city where Hendrix dead boy and the Sic Boy Federation will be playing for a favour , if he's still around he's 10 years older than me to a packed out crowd , where i would like my ashes sprinkling on the sweaty mosh pit , then i can take my last journey home on the tram to forest fields stuck to some punx head .

Your all invited - take note Mrs Red - DING DANG DO job done - it's been nice knowing you .

turn the lights off the Red has left the building

For me it has to be "Morning" from the Peer Gynt Suite by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg as the guests arrive

My favorite scene from one of my favorite movies of all time

What I never knew until today...

Edward G. Robinson had told Charlton Heston that he was terminally ill before shooting this scene, thus, Heston's tears are real.
