Another vote for Comfortably Numb (or Shine On!!), or Forever Autumn

Nice to see a load of Floyd fans here

Queen's "Another one bites the dust"... I've always liked Queen

Although the earlier Birdy Song suggestion appeals to my sense of humour!

My sister passed away last year after a long illness, so she had time to decide on the music she wanted....probably too much time!!!

First was "Who wants to live forever" - Queen
Next was "The Last Beat of My Heart" - Siouxie and the Banshees
Finally she had "We'll Meet Again" - Vera Lynn

And at the Wake she had "Wish you were here" - Floyd!! And all other music had to be heavy rock / punk / indie. Needless to say she also expected everyone to drink loads and "pogo / mosh" the night away.

Not bad choices for a 32 year old, made us all smile. Although there were some funny looks from the older relatives.

You'll all be planning your what coffins you want next n all.

Mum's made a strange request of a wicker coffin :S

My dad had:
"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" by Tom Lehrer

: AN EVENING (WASTED) WITH TOM LEHRER - 1. Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

Which caused great hilarity in the immediate family, and total confusion for those who were all 'funereal' and solemn!

Hey Mattx, count the vw beetle in the Bullitt chase scene - it sure gets around SF doesn't it!

**Joedetic** · 15th May 2008, 09:52 AM

@witch Tom Lehrer is hilarious...good choice.

I like the masochism tango and the Irish Ballad

Can I have the Countdown theme played just as I go through the doors for cremation?
