Yeah, that's right - I'm feeling like a ray of fething sunshine today!

It's something, as a person who eats, sleeps and breathes music, that I think about often: What song/s would I want to be played at my funeral? Last year a friend of mine asked me to take care of the funeral setlist, should he be killed whilst serving in Afghanistan (it wasn't Matty, he's invincible, and so is unworried about such trivial matters) - it felt like a big responsibility, to sum up a person's life in music. Speaking for myself, I go back and forth between several selections, but this one always makes the cut:

Over to you.

**SlaveToDorkness**

"See You on the Other Side"- Ozzy

**filbert**

Fiddlers Green by The Tragically Hip

**Azza007**

The classics; Highway to Hell, Another one bites the dust.

I prefer the Dubliners version, but that's a solid choice. Damn! More selection woes!

**mattyrm**

This is appropriate because I don't want a funeral in a church, I want them to put me in a freezer for 24 hours then jam 50lbs of explosives up my arse and then drop me on a military target, I like the idea of my cadaver with face contorted into a grinning rictus smashing through a terrorists bathroom door.

Or they can stuff me and use me as a hat stand. Something useful anyway, none of that hippy gak where they turn you into compost or make you into a tree.

**SilverMK2**

I think I'd have "Might as well be on Mars" and "Poison" by Alice Cooper

**Frazzled**

**Albatross**

My aforementioned pal wanted 'Girls, Girls, Girls' by Motley Crue. An inspired choice.

**hotsauceman1**

Highway To hell at my funeral

**TH3FALL3N**

Hurt - Johnny cash cover.

**deathholydeath**

**rubiksnoob**

Being of Jewish ancestry, and wanting my dead body to be set adrift to wander the universe, I think this would convey the general idea quite nicely. . .

**CthuluIsSpy**

Because I'm morbid.

Also,

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
Never Let me Go by Florence and the Machine
This is not the End by Claire Maguire

Aye, I want a send off by three wondeful female voices.

**dogma**

On repeat. I will annoy from beyond the grave.

**George Spiggott**

I'd like some paid mourners too.

**Castiel**

Purely for the irony:

Oh cmon, the original NIN version is 10x better then Cash's attempt. He did nicely sure, but Trent Reznor has so much more feeling when he does it

**Azza007**

There is also burn, burn by Lost prophets. As you can tell, I want to be cremated.

KC, I have never disagreed with someone so much about something I care so little about than I do right now.

**KingCracker**

I know, TH3FALL3N s TOTALLY wrong right?

Gotcha covered

**Jihadin**

**BlapBlapBlap**

Kill EVERYBODY by Skrillex
and
Trololololol song...

Because I'm not letting my lack of presence upon the mortal coil ruin my fun...

**youbedead**

Obligatory- freebird, stairway to heaven

fun- another irish drinking song, hymn of the immortal warrior

**dogma**

I rather like this:

If no one gets laid after my funeral, I have failed as a person.

**GalacticDefender**

Lol another irish drinking song

I'd have Starblind by Iron Maiden played. (Space is the most important thing in my life, and Starblind has themes of space and death. I don't much like the band's vocals, but this song has wonderful lyrics)

I'd also have Last of the Wilds by Nightwish played, because it is the most aweesome instrumental song ever.

Also Time by Pink Floyd.

**youbedead**

Of all the complaints about Maiden I cant say I have seen someone not like their vocal specifically, how can you not like Bruce

**Perkustin**

Venga Boys - Boom Boom.

Or failing that,

Role Model by Eminem.

**Jihadin**

quite a few of us though will have this played though
