I've had mine picked out for 22 years:

"He's Gone" The Grateful Dead from Europe 72.

And one stipulation, that I've even put down on paper, is that it must be played through a "professional" sound system.

Good choice, that's a really good song. Also, "If We Hold On Together" from the Land Before Time soundtrack. Something from the Princess Mononoke soundtrack. And, of course, "Calling In Sick Today" by Weird Al.

"Back to Life"

Then some random Irish drinking songs.

Irish Wake all the way! Put me in the cheapest plywood box you can build, set it in the corner with purple flowers (my favorite), and spend the $5000-10,000 on food, music and dance hall! Start the music with bagpipes of Amazing Grace, then Mercy Me's I Can Only Imagine, and then a good old N'Orlins' (New Orleans') dixieland version of When the Saints Go Marching In. Anything you can dance to after that.


I went to my cousins funeral a few weeks ago and heres the two songs that stuck out:

The Guns 'n Roses cover of Knockin' on Heavens Door
Styx' I'm Sailing Away - the long version

King Crimson - Epitaph

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Just the other day when I was driving home from work listening to the radio I was thinking along similar lines, more to the point of what's the song I'd want to die listening to? (Not very big about dieing, but the thought crossed my mind, "what if this is the last song?" since it was a rainy night with fast traffic and all....)

At my funeral? Tough one. Chances are I wouldn't have much say in it..

No song can adequately express the despair that the world will have at the coming of my death.

I'd like people to leave my funeral in a good mood and their toes tappin'.
Sooooo, I would like to hear "Listen to the Music" by the Doobie Brothers.

As a matter of fact, why can't I be buried with my Etys, a power feed to my Meta42, and have all my friends rotate as my personal DJ's to the hearafter... "Spinning a selection of tunes to wake the dead".
