you should see funerals in New Orleans then, when the band plays while the casket is taken to the cemetry for burial.....actually is quite nice. At least I have seen them on TV!

Kinda reminds me of this thread. Anyway, I don't know whether there will be a 5 songs though. Having to pick something anyway it will probably be either Kyrie or Lacrimosa. (Mozarts Requiem) Seems appropriate.

That would be the complete opposite of my songs I guess.

What's your top 5 Jonathan?

 

[nakedhand]

Music at funerals is a great tradition. We played Jazz for my grandmothers, for quite a while, as she was a jazz freak.

I am hoping for a varied and intense 5 hour set wrapping up in an unknown mix of Thomas Köner and Satie.

Barry: Top 5 songs about death. A Laura's Dad tribute list, okay? Okay. Leader of the Pack. The guy freakin' beefs it on his motorcycle and dies, right? Dead Man's Curve. Jan & Dean.
Dick: Do you know that right after they recorded that song Jan himself crashed his car...
Barry: It was Dean you freakin' idiot...
Rob: It was Jan. It was a long time after the song.
Barry: Okay, whatever. Tell Laura I Love Her. That would bring the house down - Laura's Mom could sing it. You know what I'd want? One Step Beyond by Madness. And, uh, You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Dick: No. Immediate disqualification because of its involvement with The Big Chill.
Barry: Oh God. You're right!
Dick: Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot.
Barry: You person! That's so good - that should have been mine... The night Laura's daddy died. Sha na na na na na na na na! Brother what a night it really was. Mother what a night it really... angina's tough! Glory be!

Dangnabbit, I knew I'd made a similar thread before. I did say that thread wasn't for the funeral, though. This current thread was inspired by a friend's grandpa's death; she was making a playlist for the funeral, and it got me thinking about what I'd like at my own. I still don't really know. I like the idea of having some upbeat jazz at the funeral, I think. Maybe start with bits of Mozart's Requiem, but move quickly to Chick Corea or something. Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World has to be in there. Maybe Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's brilliant version of Over the Rainbow.
