The main theme from The Great Escape. Or perhaps the version of "Comin in on a wing and a prayer" by Ry Cooder. Always really liked that song...

'How to Disappear...Completely' by Radiohead.

or

'Vermicide' by The Mars Volta.

Those Once Loyal by Bolt Thrower

orrrrr

Stil In Mij by Van Dik Hout

My funeral song would be Back From The Dead by House of Pain or What It's Like by Everlast

I want it that way - The back street boys

That would just be too funny!

Baby got back!

Mine would be Always look on the bright side of life by monty python

I'd pick Flame in the Night by Freedom Call. It still gives me chills.

Other possibilities are And the Story Ends by Blind Guardian, Carry the Blessed Home by Blind Guardian, Every Dog Has Its Day by Flogging Molly, I'm Alive by Helloween, and Sam's Town or This River Is Wild (both by the Killers).

Or, to mix things up, Famous for Nothing by Dropkick Murphys, I Don't Wanna Stop by Ozzy Osbourne, Party Hard by Andrew W.K. (I'd hate to leave everyone feeling sad), or a power metal interpretation of "Death Be Not Proud" by John Donne.

Queen - I'm Going Slightly Mad.

Purely for the ironic amusement of it. I'd also want to have 'I appear to be in a grave situation engraved on my tombstone'.

I used to think about Porcelain by Moby, but then again the lyrics would probably hurt my loved ones and family.

"I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie

So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me..."

I don't want (most) of them to think I felt like they didn't want me.
I'm still looking for the perfect song.

Reading back through the previous pages, I saw a couple people mention "Paradise City" by Guns n' Roses. If I end up living the kind of life I'd like to, I think that'd be a really cool thing to play after I'm gone. So add that to the list.

Star Wars song (Darth Vader)
Korn Dead Bodies
bodies

I'd love to have either Come In Closer - Blue October or Everlong (acoustic) - Foo Fighters.

Both very emotional and, I feel, suiting.

Paradise City. It would be awesome.

Yahkety Sax (AKA the benny hill theme)When they bring out the coffin, there will also be strippers doing the monkey.

either:

The Final Countdown by Europe

or

Get Low by Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz

or A video Showing of Journey's "Separate
Ways"

The Hamster Dance...

This. Definately this. :)

awful lotta radiohead here!

if i had to do a Radiohead it would be... not videotape, that would emotionally scar people, Lucky or No surprises would be nice, Street Spirit would be a good one

I'd like Comptine d'un autre ete by Yann tiersen, that would be loverly :)

Or to be inappropriate, gay bar

Blur - No Distance Left to Run
Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place

:3 First post by the way.

In an attempt to revive this thread i'm gonna say the final Fantasy 8 inro theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pZ2ibvZb2Q

DeVoyd:
10,000 Days - Tool.

That would be pretty epic no lie.

Personally i have to go with "Rock Lobster- B 52's" That song is goddamn ridiculous thats how awesome it is.

OH YAH, mine would either be yngwie malmsteen "far beyond the sun" or "helena" by my chemical romance

I know its corny, but Highway to Hell. Or perhaps Hells Bells?

Now I'm Free; Andy Summers

Ruffythepirate:
I know its corny, but Highway to Hell. Or perhaps Hells Bells?

Not very optimistic. Have you killed a few people or something?

"Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera(which is my life's obsession), sung by the great singer/actor Hugh Panaro, not the buff Hollywood hack from the movie(that's a little mean, I like Gerry Butler as an actor, just not as a Phantom)

conqueror Kenny:

What, you haven't?

Fade To Black by Metallica

One of the best songs ever IMO

I'd go for The Highwayman by Johnny Cash and possibly Highway To Hell by AC/DC as people left, just to spook them a little :P

Party Hard by Andrew WK

John Cage's 4'33"

It's one of the best songs ever.

zma924:
Living on a Prayer- Bon Jovi
Blaze of Glory- Bon Jovi
Every Rose has its Thorn- Poison
Kickstart my Hear- Motley Crue
Halo theme

You are a genius.

Already Claimed:
Highway to Hell- ACDC
Living on a Prayer- Bon Jovi
Blaze of Glory- Bon Jovi
Every Rose has its Thorn- Poison
Another One Bites the Dust- Queen
Paradise City- Guns N Roses
Halo Theme

Mine New Ones:
Wanted Dead or Alive- Bon Jovi
If You Get There Before I Do- Collin Raye
Remember When- Alan Jackson
Remember the Name- Fort Minor
The Cheers Theme Song

Oh I thought of another two that I would like to have. Oldboy soundtrack - Look Who's Talking, brilliant build up and epic finish. Although it's only like 1:30mins long and my other choice would be Requiem For A Dream, again fantastic build up and an epic feeling to the whole song. Just like my life :P
