Inappropriate Funeral Music
« on: 09 Sep 2006, 21:05 »
This following an RL conversation with a group of my friends...

What would be the most inappropriate (for whatever reason) song you could have played at your own, or someone else's, funeral?  Some of the best we could come up with included:

Zombie - The Cranberries
Mmm-Bop - Hanson
La La for Engerland - T & H Hegarty (for a soccer player from any other country)
Smack My Bitch Up - The Prodigy
Pretty much anything by They Might Be Giants

I keep thinking "Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood", for no particular reason but the title. I will go through my records and find a more fitting song for this.

Heard a story about a funeral where the deceased's request was that a tape of a hymn be played at the wedding, but the preacher didn't bother taping over the rest of the side so the hymn cut out and in came:

If you want my body
And you think I'm sexy
Come on sugar let me know...

Said preacher was reportedly very embarrassed. (I read this in the Bathroom Reader so it may be suspect.)

You get huge points for Uncle John's. Which book was this in? I've been meaning to update my collection.

The Divinyls - I Touch Myself


I would play that Scala choir version but let's not nitpick.

Songs perfect for a funeral:
Shakira - Whereever, Whenever
lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains
Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca/She Bangs
Jennifer Lopez - Jenny from the Block
Juanes - La Camisa Negra
La macarena!!!
Basically a lot of latino pop.
Sugarcubes - Motorcrash(for someone who was killed in a car accident obviously)
Queen - We Are the Champions, Fat Bottomed Girls
The Ronettes - Be My Baby
Oingo Boingo - Heard Somebody Cry
It isn't true! I am not a ghost without a soul/Come! listen to my heart - you feel the beat?

A lot of Xiu Xiu and of course the entire output of Zombina and the Skeletones. Even though I will insist that they play Nobody Likes You at my funeral. I demand it.

everything ever writen by George Michael or Wham. On the other hand if everyone thinks the dead person was gay after the funeral its not such a problem for the dead guy. It may be for everyone else if the diseaseds previous lovers start coming forward, then its just really wierd for everyone.

I don't know about innapropriate, but I'm not sure how many of the tunes I've considered as appropriate in my more morbid moments (Of which I don't have many, surprisingly) would be allowed to be played in a place with any mainstream religious pretensions. I refer to songs like Cryptic Wintermoon - When Daylight Dies, Xasthur - The Funeral of Being, Coil - Tainted Love, Sol Invictus - Come Join the Dance, Inkubus Sukkubus - Leveller, Burzum - Tomhet, Ewigkeit - Journey to Ixtlan, etc. etc.

Some psychobilly would be awesome at a funeral, but I'd probably go for some Coffinshakers ballads.

That being said, I wouldn't mind if my funeral was held in a night club (a la Something Positive) with waitresses in skimpy goth outfits and my favorite tunez on the stereo system, so I can't really think of something inappropriate for me.

I was under the impression that its never appropriate to listen to Nekromantix, on account of their crappiness.


Anyway, my choice would definitely be Wanda Jackson, Queen of Rockabilly doing "Let's Have A Party".

The first thing I thought of, for some reason, was Swans' "Beautiful Child." "All Lined Up" would be pretty bad if the deceased was murdered, come to think of it.

Also, if the deceased was called Ed, Pixies' "Ed is Dead" would work.

Edit: I totally forgot the Ramones' "Glad to See You Go." Also, if the deceased was a child, the Dead Kennedys' "I Kill Children."

A friend went to a funeral where 'New York, New York' was played as the casket was carried out.  "Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today..."

Also heard of 'My Little Buttercup' being played.

I think 'I'm Coming Out' by Dianna Ross would be pretty odd.

If I was to depart anytime in the near future I'd want Tomhet to be played at my funeral, its a wonderfully emotional peice of music, heck the entire HLTO album would be nice. I couldn't see too many people having a problem with it either...

I suppose it is a bit depressing, very suited to a funeral though.

Ik leef niet meer voor jou - Marco Borsato.

I don't live for you anymore ... a song about a guy who has stopped living just for his relationship and has gotten himself some new goals kicking tha bitch out .... but just that opening sentence ...

Anything by Cannibal Corpse might be fun too ... thirteen autumns and a widow by COF ... Benzin by Rammstein in case of a cremation ... The roof is on fire - the bloodhound gang ...

Stuff like that. Would make me smile.
