This shit.
Just for the sake of awkward inappropriateness.

someone has to give a speech about me, a serious one, and then speakers ligned in the coffin should play the "final fantasy fanfare" right afterwards.

And when my coffin is carried outside they should play the E3 2001 Duke Nukem Forever Theme which you can find on the 3D Realms site. awesome stuff.

Chopin's Nocturne no.13 in C-minor. And also his Etude in E, "Tristesse".

ozzy osbourne 'see you on the other side'

I'm going to have my own funeral Rickrolled. The funeral song will be serious and fitting, then all of a sudden...

If it's open-coffin, perhaps I can commission a special coffin complete with catapult to launch my corpse into the air and across the room at the very instant of the Rickrolling.

It's not really for my funeral, but for my fathers. He's asked me to play Highway to Hell. I've agreed and also plan on, once he's been cremated, taking some of his ashes, putting them into a heart, and putting the heart into a giant teddy bear. My dad's nickname is Papa Bear. He likes the idea. The rest of his ashes are going into a giant Old Miller Light long neck that I'm going to ask the company to make and then seal for me.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna have, if one of my mates is still alive when I die I'll probably get her to write something for it, given that I'm probably gonna drink, smoke and generally party myself into an early grave. I wnat something a bit tongue in cheek and humourous but not too much as it may upset people there, it is about them really not me.
Although if I know I'm gonna die, ie from a terminal illness, I'm gonna take a leaf out of the discworld witches and have a going away party, a proper bash to see all my mates once more.

Is it wrong that I've been thinking about this since I was about 9? I've changed my mind several times mind you.

hmmm i would go with

disco inferno by ??. greatest song ever if you get cremated
"a sun came" by suphen stephen. the last 2 minutes or so when he just mashes instruments and desecrates music
"never going to give you up" rick astley or maybe the anti rick roll http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc2bSvHYQVE
the penis song by monty python. just think about it. "he was a great man blah blah blah, ashes to ashes dust to dust..." then all of the sudden "isnt it delightful to have a penis, isnt it delightful to have a dong" plays.

I want a montage of images from my life played to Zombie by The Cranberries. Then, maybe after my eulogy, or somewhere else, I need Let It Be by The Beatles. The last song depends on whether I decide to be cremated or buried.

If I'm cremated I want Through the Fire and Flames Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas.

If I'm buried, I want Where Dragons Rule by DragonForce played as I'm lowered into my grave. I think it would be great to have the intro playing as my coffin is lowered, it's really sad and mournful, and I want people to cry, dammit.

oh my god i dont believe i forgot to write this even though i was thinking it.

"closer" by nine inch nails
"the bad touch" by the blood hound gang

probaly NOFX'S song "the dinosours will die" i would have it playing on a big speaker set with the words "sony are the shit!" written on every surface in the church.

dont get the joke? go listen to that song(then go listen to some good music,like iron maiden) and you will get it.

that or maybe pashendale by iron maiden, the song has some really good orcestral bits. damn i have to many ideas hear is another, as i get lowered in to my grave i will spring load my hand so that it pops out just as i disapear in to the grave and gives every one the finger, going out in style

This would be too much but I'd be dead so who gives a fuck, Not Listening - Papa Roach

All of the crimping songs from the Mighty Boosh.

Don't ask look it up for yourself

"When You Go" was a very good call. Although it must be a cover? I'm certain i've heard it before.

Still Alive is a great song- but faaar too unsubtle, unoriginal and cliche to have as a funeral song.

I'd have to choose "Air" by The incredible String Band. Seriously look it up, my Dad says we have to play it at his funeral. So damn beautiful and solemn.

Altar of Sacrifice by Slayer
lml

Im curious, what movement of Carmina Burona would you have them play. 1,2,and 13 rock, i hold a grudge against 3. As for me, Im not going to die.

At some random point during my funeral, the lights in whatever building it's being held at will go off, and then the theme from X-Files will play, just to freak out the funeral goers a bit, followed by "Dance of Illusions" or an instrumental version of "The Phantom of the Opera" just to confuse them.

In all seriousness, though...
"Meadows of Heaven" by Nightwish or "Back to California" by Sugarcult.

What, is no one going to go with "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

passive a perfect circle and i want my headstone to read simply "whoops"

In no particular order:

Queen's Princes of the Universe - Because it's about immortals, and I want to leave doubt as to if I'm actually gone or this is an elaborate ruse to keep my secret.

The Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil - If I don't leave the impression I'm immortal (so far, no proof I'm not) maybe I'll leave the impression I'm personally responsible for all evil worldwide for the past couple of centuries, and that's fun too.

AC/DC's It's a long way to the top - Maybe I want to go for a no-hint route and just confuse the fuck out of everyone with a heavily bagpiped rock classic. Bagpipes in rock: doesn't sound like it should work, and yet somehow it does.

Still Alive - Obvious, but what the hell, right?

And, Weird Al's Since you've been gone - That hadn't occurred to me, but it's genius.

Not becuase it has anything to do with death, but because I like it, Chopin's 'Raindrop Prelude'. I dunno, something about that piece sets me at peace...

Simple...

Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up"

sammyfreak:
Mad World in about teen-age angst.

I would go with Beautiful Day - U2. Afterlife is the shit.

lol wow the damnation game for me whould work or even set the world on fire

"Suicide is Painless" from MASH.

AndiGravity:
What, is no one going to go with "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

It's a little too obvious.

"Brothers in Arms" The Dire Straits

"Your Lucky Day in Hell" The Eels

"Feelin' All Right" Joe Cocker & Leon Russell

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" Guns 'N Roses

Then, to be more festive:

"Jet Airliner" The Steve Miller Band

Last, but not least:

"Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta" by The Ghetto Boys

Seldon2639:

AndiGravity:
What, is no one going to go with "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

It's a little too obvious.

So is "Still Alive", and people keep picking that.

"Brothers in Arms" is a good choice melodically, but God help your funeral director if the people at your funeral know what it's about.

Himmel oder Hölle by E nomine

Or Mein Teil by Rammstein

I was recently wondering whether I'd want Stairway to Heaven played at my funeral.

Still not sure.

WOULD have to be

3 libras- A perfect circle.

the tone and mood of the song is just....

Bodies- By Drowning Pool
followed by
Unknown Soldier- Breaking Benjamin
then
You're Beautiful by James Blunt
If the first two songs don't awake me, I really am dead. Then someone will explain that James Blunt was played because everyone but me will have to suffer it.

I would say, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" by U2. Because in the larger, cosmic sense it's true. It's also true for the little things like my car keys or the channel changer

You know, just because another birthday blew by and someone sent this to me, I'm going to have to chuck it into my funeral:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzXO_5e8oO0

It's not about dying per se, but I think everyone should be as depressed as possible when I'm dead, and those lyrics should certainly help while everyone's sitting in a room with my corpse.

"Skywriting" by EELS - Such a sad song but uplifting at the same time.

"look up
a plane writes in the sky
for every passerby
no one ever dies,
they just write things in the sky"

Then "Never Gonna Give You Up" is gonna blast out just so I die how I lived :P

Possibly "Daisy" as performed by the HAL-9000.

Lesley Gore - Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, CKY - Skeletor vs Beastman or Larrikin Love - As happy as Annie.
Or hopefully anything else inappropriate :)
