oooh .. i've had this picked out for ages .. i know i'm a bit morbid.

Treasure by The Cure (from Wild Mood Swings)

She whispers
"please remember me
When I am gone from here"
She whispers
"please remember me
But not with tears...
Remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry"

"remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry... "

but um, well it's just weird that you post something so entirely random and i actually have an answer.

i'd picked that song out back in 1997 or sometime around then.
i've been sure to tell my husband even.

and you should know by now ... i'm strange.

.... edit ....

oh, and now you know when the frog kills me what to be sure is played afterwards :lol:

Happy songs idealy. I'd rather whoever turned out for it would be reminded of good times as opposed to hearing sader tunes and getting all teary.

Don't know what yet though. I'd like a dance number to be played. Maybe 'The Sunshine Underground' by The Chemical Brothers or some Aphex Twin.

The Beatles and Pink Floyd would probably have to feature too.
I guess it would be better to draw up a setlist for the wake afterwards!
