Best Answer
He Will Carry Me, Broken, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.... and lately I added the song Talking to My Angels. These songs have deep meaning to me in my real life and have helped me to get through some of the most traumatic in my life. The last song is a legacy song that has recently come to mean so much to me because of another person.

i would like the Cockney classic "My Old Mans A Dustman". I think the variety hall melody and the cheeky chappy Cockney lyrics about someones father being a refuse collector whislt encouraging all to follow a van in a speedy fashion is awfull. I think people may think "what the ***** this s h i t" and take their mind off my sad demise. I may well have a D I C K Van Dyke Burt type character dresses in pearly garb "stepping in time " up and down the aisle just to p i s s them off further.

Honestly ? I truly don´t care.

I hopefully and happily won´t be there to listen so they can play whatever they want or nothing at all.

Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." Why? Well for the same reason I want to go to a wedding that plays the music from Star Wars whenever they showed the outside of the Death Star when the bride walks down the aisle. Do-do-doo-doot- doo doo. It makes me laugh and I like to make people laugh.

Yeah..
what deep answers; "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Pfft.
---------------------------------

I pick Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AugEwVn24tM


"Yes and how many times must a man look up,
Before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind"

Utterly asks the questions others at the funeral will be asking themselves as they are so close to death.

"Dust in the Wind" for sure.

"The Passenger" - Iggy Pop and "Go West" by Liz Phair because these sum up my life.

Follow these by incredibly loud music as everyone downs a keg. I want people to party while my body burns.
