I've got a list of about 10 songs, all referencing fire, burning or going to hell - some of which are quite funny.

It's meant to be thematic as I'll be getting cremated and as I'll be dead, I will care little for what comes after (for me, oblivion, hopefully ). I know my sister (the really religious one) will be there and these will piss her off (I'm pretty up-to-here with her holier-than-thou convert piousness) because I'm mocking relgion. So will my instruction for the mourners to wear whatever colour they feel good in (clownsuit optional*).

My friends will get the joke.

*My sister told me once (before a family funeral) that I HAD to wear Black to it (I was a teen at the time - I HAD no other colours anyway) and my response was "Damn, my clownsuit is in the wash."

As long as she doesn't get to choose any of the songs, I'll be fine. If she puts Mariah Carey's "Hero" onto my funeral playlist, I'll come back and haunt her.

Nah, Bruce is fine, I mainly meant for that song, but occasionally he seems to over shoot some songs. Like "The Talisman" IMHO. Still, awesome song though.

As for other songs, maybe Hammerfall's Glory to the Brave too

This song. Good god, these songs. It goes hand in hand with the best moment of my life. Walking around at 3 in the morning, light snowfall, and street lamps, with this music playing and not another sound to be heard. Just stood there in the middle of the road for a few moments, taking it all in.

I'd like to think my funeral would be held under similar circumstances.

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Let's Go!
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/o/ozzy+osbourne/crazy+train_20103982.html ]
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

My dad has always told me he wanted Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix played at his funeral, a choice I definitely intend to honour.

He also told me he wanted to be fired from a trebuchet while a line of clay-pigeon shooters filled him full of shot

He at l(Trent Reznor, that is) east sounds like he's garrotting his own testicles when he sings it.

I've never liked Cash, though. Just something about his music that just never gelled with me.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face.
