First off, this is meant as a lark, so don't be offended. As Halloween approaches (my favorite holiday), I like to get morbid and gruesome. I was thinking, a lot of people like to choose the song that will be played at their funeral. However, in the interests of being thorough, I thought that just one song may not be sufficient. I suggest choosing a different song for:
Death by suicide
Death by murder
Accidental death
Death by natural causes
C'mon, let's put the 'fun' in 'funeral'! I'm still thinking of my songs...
Disclaimer: I in no way endorse suicide, murder or the dropping of pianos or other extremely heavy objects from a great height on people, dogs or other quadrapeds.
Death by suicide- "My Way"
Death By Murder- "One Way or Another" (Blondie)
Accidental Death- (Have to think about that one)
Death by Natural Causes- "Is That All There Is?" & "Dust in the Wind"
Death by Suicide:
I've Had It
Goin' Out of My Head
Haven't Got Time for the Pain
I Apologize
Too Much Tequila
Death by Murder:
Put the Blame on Mame
Pistol Packin' Mama
Arrow Through Me
Accidental Death:
I Didn't Slip, I Wasn't Pushed, I Fell
Lightnin' Strikes
Ring of Fire ( I Fell Into A Burning Ring of Fire)
Call Me Irresponsible
Too Much Tequila
Natural Death
Gone at Last
The End of the Road
Easy Come, Easy Go
Too Much Tequila
(That Tequila will do it everytime. )
Short list:
Suicide - Stranger to Himself (Sandy Denny); Train Song (Tom Waits); The Birds Will Still be Singing (Elvis Costello); Suicide Solution (Ozzy, mainly for the irony)
Murder - Delia's Gone (Johnny Cash); Murderer (Buju Banton "Kill I today you canna kill I tomorrow", love that line); The Murder Mystery (Velvet Underground); The Killing Moon (Echo and the Bunnymen); The Irish Ballad (Tom Lehrer)
Accidental - The Sick Note (traditional); Oops, I Did it Again (Britney Spears)....must think of more....
Natural - Keep Me In Your Heart (Warren Zevon); Finnegan's Wake (traditional); will think of more....
Suicide: Suicide is Easy (theme from M*A*S*H).
Murder: Slaughter on 10th Avenue.
Accident: <have to think about that one>
Natural Causes: "I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places."
