    I personally can't think of one yet, but my friend wants "Living Dead Girl" by Rob Zombie. How creepy would that be!

    Definitely the Rolling Stones. And Dolly Parton's Eagle When She Flies. As well as Bette Midler...

    Vince Gill: Go rest High On That Mountain. and Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye.

    Two funerals in the last year. Mother-in-law (long and slow) and my step-father (sudden and unexpected). That's enough for a while.

    I actually have a playlist on my iPod. Called Daddy's Wake. My daughter will play it at my funeral and the gathering afterwards.

    I have several on my list but the main one is multiple versions of Amazing Grace. Joni Mitchell's, Walela's, Braveheart version, the praise song version that includes My chains are gone. I also like I'll Fly Away and couple of other old hymns as well as some good country and old rock and roll.

    Don't care - I'll be dead

    Me too but I'll come back to haunt anyone who wastes money on a funeral. Geez! Throw a party instead.

    Girls just want to have fun..
    ooooh girls, just wanna have fun.

    No... actually, I think I'll record my own send off music. Choose a song just for that purpose so the last thing everyone hears from me is me singing some super depressing song that will make them ALL CRY!

    Damn right.

    Maybe I'll sing this one: Remember my Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxRC_QkxwH8)

    Because you should CRY at funerals. You should get it all out and sometimes, some people, need help.

    First start off the "going away PARTY" with some slow jams....

    Draw me nearer -- Commissioned

    Nearer my God, to Thee/Peace Be Still -- by some soulful singer

    Dust in The Wind - Kansas

    Lifes Been Good-- Joe Walsh

    Good Times - Michael Jackson/The Jacksons

    We've only just begun -- The Carpenters

    Zoom -- Commodores

    Eminence front - The Who

    Then get the party started right with:

    I got Soul and I'm super Bad -- James Brown

    I don't wanna go Home -- Jason Derulo

    and a bunch of other loud/THUMPING jamming dance party music and a whole bunch of the yummiest foods & drinks EVER. All diets are to be officially postponed until AFTER I'm buried AND with the specific orders that there be ZERO sadness or tears, unless it's for themselves (cause they're still here and I'm with The Lord), and to reassure EVERYONE I'm in a much better place with Jesus/God and the saints and hopefully I'll see them again one day...in Glory!

    :drinker: :wink: :laugh: :bigsmile: :love: :drinker:

    My Way - Frank Sinatra

    i was wondering how long it would take for somebody to mention that. turns out... 4 pages.

    the Sid Vicious version works too.
