Bye bye baby

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.

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.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life would be a laff

'But remember that the last laugh is on you'

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.

I was planning "Isn't It Grand, Boys, To Be Bloody Well Dead? by the Clancys.

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

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.
