Apparently most Britons want Angels by Robbie Williams played at their funeral.

When they turn me into toast, I want Meet on the Ledge by Fairport Convention and There She Goes by the La's.

"Going Underground" by the Jam, surely? With extra irony if one is getting cremated.

Or you could drop all pretense whatsoever and go with Drivin N' Cryin's "I'm Going Straight to Hell." :)

Seriously? That's just... well, that's just... huh. I like your choices much better. :)

For my toastmaking (nice metaphor), I want Robbie Robertson's "Unbound" and the BBC arrangement of "Bilbo's Last Song." And something vaguely shocking and completely inappropriate by Tori Amos.

And then I want everyone to do the "Time Warp." Or not.

"Bilbo's Last Song" is a lovely one. There's a version of John Le Mesurier singing it rather than saying it as he does on the transmitted version, with his voice all old and wavery.

and 'There She Goes' by the La's.

I now have this as an earworm. That was part of your plan, wasn't it?

And as for 'Angels', well, I don't remember the original lyrics any more. I only remember [livejournal.com profile] sugoll's filk.

No fair! I already called "Meet On the Ledge!" Well, I suppose we can both have it. :)

:) Sorry

Having Been to several Cropredies (?sp) and drunk way too much cider at everyone I have now decided to relagate Fairport to an Alcohol induced hallucination

That said I still have some great photos from one of the Half Moon Gigs from - Oh about 12 years ago .... That was the one we got Ric Saunders to play Purple Haze on the volin ....

:-D Their gigs at Cambridge Corn Exchange are always very tame, family-friendly affairs (one bloke we talked to had his 4 year old son and newborn baby girl with him). Oh, with beer, of course.

I fear: 'If I'd Lived Right' by Tracy Chapman.

My dad tells us that he wants 'Sugar Sugar' at his funeral :)

Oy. I thought I was so original for wanting a Monty Python song played at my funeral. But at least it's not that one - I want "The Galaxy Song."

I'd just like a massive B7 filk session. And some Loreena McKennitt. In no particular order.
