I'm confused, are we talking weddings or funerals?

when my wife passed away the songs chosen were

Art Garfunkel bright eyes

both songs meant a lot to us and still do today.

Can't say I've thought about it.

Where as Mr B has a funeral song folder, so if he pops his clogs suddenly. I'll know what he wants played.

Off the top of my head, one is Goodbye Cruel World.

Yep when I go to the great gog in the sky. Men will weep. Ladies will lament ( I knew he was ill!) Children will tell tales about where they were when they heard the news.

Daza has bit the big one!! He had one meet to many!!! (Yeah right!!)

We shall never see he's like again!

Untill one checky little scrote pipes up.

"Yeah we will, there 2 a penny on fab!!"

Alas a state funeral is the least we could of for me!! In fact I insist!

I strongly believe that funerals are for the mourners, not the departed. While I might well pick something a little ironic or inappropriate, I would leave it to those arranging the event.

I was always going to have the time warp as people walk in to my funeral unfortunatly while me and my mum planned her funeral i told her this and she decided to pinch it, although she had it at the end of the service.

So now its

Queen- who wants to live for ever

Blue october - fear (just because i loooove this song)

Not sure if any tracks are available for my funeral of choice:

Burning viking longship with 1000 Virgin slaves.

However I do like the idea of the games held after the death of Achilles with prizes from the gods!

Silence.

I don't want music ruining the sounds of the keening young men (hired) to wail over my untimely demise.

Okay, maybe a fiddle and a tin whistle later on.
