I am somewhat disappointed that nobody mentioned Queen's 'Another One Bites The Dust'. We totally rocked out to it at my friends funeral.

I think i could go for 'Having A Wonderful Time' by Tiny Tim. 'Course, i'd like to still be alive just so i could see the looks on everyones face. (Rick Astley may have to stop by too.)

Temptation -Heaven 17. Probably you heard it on Trainspotting's Soundtrack

or Disco Eterno by Soda Stereo.

as a nod to my other favorite musician, Jim Infantino (of Jim's Big Ego), I'd want "She's Dead". [The original version] was a big hit when I played them at a friend's funeral over a decade ago.

Granted, she was an order of magnitude cooler than I am, and... we even thought that before she died.

Amusingly, I got into Jim's music, then acoustic (anti-)folk, the same time I went from vaguely liking that one NIN record to becoming a "rabid fangirl". I even got Jim to cover NIN in concert, once. The folk guitar version of "Down in It" defies description, but... did motivate me to introduce a big chunk of alt.music.nin to Jim's Big ego.

Now... if only I could get Trent to cover JBE... (bwa ha ha ha ha ha)

P.S. JBE's latest record is also a free download.

They should have put it in The Passion of Christ, it would have been hilarious.

More than one song will be sung at my funeral so I've got a few.

Before my remains are led into the main body of the church, a white pall is opened and spread on top of my casket in the vestibule, usually done by two family members. My remains are incensed and sprinkled with holy water. The white cloth is a reminder and symbol of my Baptismal promsies, promises reinforced by me on Confirmation day saying 'yes' to my parents will. Prayers are said over my decaying flesh and I'm respectfully wheeled directly in front of the altar. Gather Us In will begin the service.

With hundreds of mourners in attendance to the Mass of the Resurrection [many will be paid in advance to be there *laughs*] I'd like hymns sung by an all-male choir; Dad and I had a penchant for that sound. Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent during communion and the closing hymn, All Creatures of Our God and King. For All the Saints could be sung but I heavily advise against it. smoking smiley

I want "Beside You In Time" to be played at my funeral.

It really gives off the message of what I was really going through in my life.

I want my headstone to read:

"if hell is real... i'm sure as hell there."
