lol at the moment of my death or at the funeral?
the funeral
I'm not trying to be facetious but if music was being played (which I wouldn't want anything non Kingdom Melodies) really think I'd want it to be something totally off the wall and/or off topic. Like "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson" or the Empire's theme music from Star Wars.
But then again I am dead so I really don't have a leg to stand on what is played.
I always thought it would be funny to play a clip of the movie "that thing you do" when the lead singer sings...." I quit....snap snap...I quit....snap snap I quit"....or Jim Carroll-"people who died"
If I wanted everyone to cry I think I would play "old and wise"-alan Parson or even their song"time".
I don't really know .
Gonna have to go with the music from this scene from Bananas:

(i mean the montage music, not the thing the castro guy sings).
LOL good choice reed (is that a kazoo?) ... funny too cause the first song i thought of was "fancy pants" which has a similar feel:

but i'd guess that everyone else at my funeral would wanna play something more like Denis Leary's famous song... *ahem*
i don't think i'd want any k.melodies at my funeral since none of them are about me personally ;-)
Do they play anything other than Kingdom Melodies? Is this a trick? Is this going to be sent to the CO?? :-D
"Circle of Life" by Elton John.
Or really, any song that would have been someone's favorite BEFORE I died. Ruined.
yeah what is the deal with Kingdom Melodies at funerals? is that just to make sure that every time we hear that song again we get depressed? ;-)
Along the lines of Jordan's thought...I want mine to be whatever the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 charts is at the time of my death.
If I died today it would be Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You" LOL!
If I could choose the song to be played at my funeral, it would have to be Randy Newman's Short People. I think it would make me feel a lot better about the being dead, and all. 'Cause... 'least I'm not short.
LOL it's the little things in life that make it worth living.... oops, was that a weak pun or what? (and i didn't even try it in Spanish ;-)
