Not that you will be alive to regret it anyway. True,so in that respect I may choose some devil worshipping goth band just to piss off the vicar....

The important thing is to make sure you've recorded your list with someone. Mr Musette and I keep meaning to do this but haven't yet. We both tell each other the songs now and then but neither one of us is really listening, and if it came to it we'd never remember because we're not big fans of each other's favourite bands. So just in case, here are mine. No ELO, but of course I'll have my memories of happy times with Damey and my fellow ninja groupie to sustain me through eternity To remind the mourners of their own mortality, "this life could be the last" let's get miserable, it's a funeral after all. When I'm being lowered into the fiery furnace, this one to cheer things up with "oooooo, you set my soul alight" They can have a good groove in the aisles. Toying with making the dress code from the video too. At the end and as they go out, this one. It's really positive and uplifting, should send them home happy. And reminds them I'll be watching,so no monkey business with the will. I've just listened to the actual order of service from my own funeral - cripes! Time for more wine I think

I have really thought about this one and this is a rough version of what will be played at mine....I kinda played most of my personal choices at me dads funeral...But this is my list....I played Mr. Blue sky so loud at dads funeral that the coffin was moving!!!! My family and close friends still cannot listen to the crescendo at the end without crying....But heres mine.
For Karen Lynnenut my beautiful wife...Says everything about her...
Last but not least...This says it all....Please listen to the lyrics PLEASE!
This is just so morbid!!!! I ain't dead yet!!!

I can't say I would choose ELO songs for my funeral. To me, ELO is about fun and innocence and happiness. When I'm in a darker place, I immediately go to other kinds of music. I would probably choose some morbid ballads for my funeral, such as See That My Grave Is Kept Clean by Diamanda Galas or Goodbye by Steve Earle.

Seeing as I work in a crematorium I have been exposed to all kinds of weird and wonderful music. Not much Olly Murs yet tho!!

My funeral will be the last most important thing he will do for us*. But, it's really not about me at that point. This is all up to tk6, he knows. Sure, play some ELO and throw shades on me tk6, if you can stand it. *The second will be tk6 flying over me fellow Shade wearing Ninja Lord Damey groupie, and me better half of the Two Headed Monster. They than fall in love, run off and have many babies together! (The details will work themselves out. They always do!)

H W, it's those nit-picky, insignificant details that make things more complicated than need be! How about this. Mr Uno can be their nanny! I'm dead, let them fight it out! Margarita? Only on Sunday am I allowed to imbibe in this nectar of the gods!

I'm flattered (and poor tk6 will be flatt ened if I manage to get hold of him) - however the fatal flaw will be that we'll all be so old by then that babies would be out of the question. In fact even now just thinking about childbirth is bringing on me eczema And I plan to grow old so disgracefully I'll probably be banned from most major airlines, hargh! crossbones

I'll get there somehow, I'll keep a crate in reserve What if I go before you though? Or, as is more likely, we both go together during some ill-conceived caper involving eyeliner, cheap red and fake beards?

Is there a question it won't be pretty our demise together! All raise your hands who think the opposite? That's very kind Helmut83, you can put your hand down.

Eldorado Overture, and then high on a hill, as the funeral pyre is lit, Fire on High!
Sometime during the party, my nephew to sing "There is a Time" by the Dillards.
