Funeral Songs

I would walk past your coffin and think "what a pretentious fag"

 

how charmingly Perks Of Being A Wallflower

 

I have not read that book so you can not accuse me of unoriginality.

Another good song would be "funeral home" by Daniel Johnston.

That made me laugh quite a lot, loudly and embarrassingly. Thankyou.

Was that king missile?

 

i dont know who sings it. it was on a doctor demento tape we used to listen to when i was a very little kid.

doctor demento was (is?) an american radio personality whose show was based on novelty/parody songs, often somewhat humorous. wierd al kind of got most of his start from it, if i'm not mistaken. back then he didnt simply do parody songs, though. there were original novelty pieces, as well as just flat out covers, polka-style on the accordion

 

I heard a weird Al parody from the 70s of "still rock and roll to me" by Billy Joel. It was delightful.

face eater, my grandad had frank sinatra - my way for his funeral too. i liked it aswell, as a raging drunk who had countless affairs he certainly did do it his way

im not sure what i would have, probably staying alive.

or if i was to go for the sombre theme it would have to be the Nimrod by Elgar from the Engima Variations. beautiful.

 

k.r.

you're the most wickedest.


gimme a little warren zevon. keep me in your heart.

 

I don't even want a funeral.
I have never been to one.. and i sort of hate the way people almost seem to compete over their level of grief with shit like that.
So , I imagine my funeral music will be some disgusting sappy shit- I'd guess some poorly belted tear in the beer unfitting country song that I would never listen to, that was picked out by someone I barely knew who is weeping like there is no tomorrow and hugging everyone... while the rest of my loved ones- the ones who would actually attend a funeral try not to bitch slap them.

-fuck I sound bitchy.
off to bed

 

I have never met anybody who competes over their level of grief, but my extended family are generally very "with it" and don't buy into that shit.

 

I don't really want a funeral either. They're depressing as hell, I don't want people crying over my dead body and have that as their last memory of me. That's just rubbish.

 

"here's to you (lisbeth scott)"

Beautiful song.

 

Gimme The Loot by Notorious BIG

We played that at my uncles funeral actually, but it was in the parking lot of the church. My cousin lol'd so it's all good

 

the happiest, most upbeat song ever written for a loved one who's passed on:
you go, janetgirl!

 

I thought of a song for this once, but I'm not sure anymore. I think I'd say something instrumental now.
