BeaverStyle 1 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 If you had to pick a song to be played at your funeral, what would it be?Off the top of my head I'd probably pick Simple Man, the Shinedown version.btw, no idea why I thought of this. Link to post Share on other sites
LadyGrey 6 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 My funeral is going to be fancy dress. Anyone not in costume won't be allowed in. The music will be cheesy party music, and while I am being lowered into the grave or whatever, Karma Chameleon by Culture Club will play and everyone will do a conga line and sing a long.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I would want a song from my all-time favorite band, Nickelback. I like them because they sing good and they rock. And I prefer rock to other kinds of music. The best Nickelback song for a funeral would be "If Everyone Cared". I really like that song and it has a nice message, which is good because I wouldnt want to make people even sadder than they already are because I died, which would be sad for some people more than others, but I dont want to risk making any of those people who are marginally sad really sad and those people like my wife and kids who are really sad, i dont know, super sad. So thats why I would choose that song. Link to post Share on other sites

But "If Everyone Cared" is a more positive song for all humanity. It would be cool for everyone to think i was hero, but if im dead then i wont be there to save those people at my funeral anymore because like I said, I would be dead. With my song, everyone can learn to love each other and no one will need a hero becuase i guess everyone would be heros. it would be like a final message to my kids. be nice people kids, thats what im saying to you.

nhlfan 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 A few choices, and I'm dead serious (no pun intended)....Bad to the Bone - George ThorogoodHighway to Hell - AC/DCOne Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - Again, Mr. George ThorogoodCreeping Death - MetallicaI will have one of the above songs, or maybe all, played at my funeral. I will be buried in a Michigan University casket in my Redwings jersey, have my AR-15 and my Marine Corps NCO sword in with me. And no, I don't live in a trailer, but it just shows that no matter how many generations you go or how successful you are, it's hard to get that white trash out of your system.
