Topic: the last song you will ever hear (Read 35024 times)

Rudy Rudy · « **on:** 04 Oct 2006, 11:00 »

My favorite "getting to know you" question has always been:

I am holding a gun to your head. I am going to kill you, no question about it. First, however, I will allow you one song request. One song, only one, and the second it ends, I'm killing you. Goodbye. This will be the last thing you ever hear.

What song do you want me to play?

(It's kind of a silly question, but it gets the conversation started.)

NERO · « **Reply #1 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 11:08 »

Freebird. I know it is disliked by some but I really like it. Also, 10 minutes. Or mebie something by rush. On the other hand, you could play some children of bodom and I'd try and disarm you.

Can I take the comedy option of hearing “Longplayer”? It started playing six years ago and will will finish for the first time at the turn of the next millienium.

Will the guy continually be holding a gun to my head for the thousand-year duration of the song?

Will · « **Reply #3 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 11:25 »

Actually, this is kind of a cool idea here...

I think that if I had a choice, I would want my last song ever heard to be "Jane Doe" by Converge. I always thought that would be a really good way for me to go out, listening to that song...

The Spark That Bled by The Flaming Lips just for the irony.

"I accidently touched my head...and noticed that it had been bleeding"

IronOxide · « **Reply #5 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 12:57 »

Maybe Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. It's so beautiful and long enough for me not to regret it too much.

screwjack · « **Reply #6 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 13:03 »

Love You To Death by Type O Negative that would sit pretty well with me, and hopefully cause my soon to be killer to have bad memories of the encounter.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #7 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 13:11 »

i'm gonna go with either "Hearts Frozen Soil Sod Once More By The Spring Of Rage, Despair, And Hopelessness" by AFI because its less than a minute long and half the song consists of "whoa! whoa! i will die screaming! *repeat*"

or "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan because i wouldnt regret hearing that one last time.

haziegirl · « **Reply #8 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 13:38 »

Well obviously I'd listen to "Nineteen Forever" by Joe Jackson, because I'm 19, and if you killed me now, I really would never be 35.

The Hammered · « **Reply #9 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 14:33 »

Sister Ray by the Velvet Underground. Either the studio version or the 38-minute one on the Quine Tapes.

I suppose I'd also consider Television's Elevation. Seems like it would be kind of appropriate.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #10 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 14:50 »

The last rtack of Tool's album Lateralus, so that you would be haunted forever.

Beautiful Maladies · « **Reply #11 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 14:54 »

right now I think that "Abraham", by Sufjan Stevens would be a nice choice. It would feel just like going to sleep.

"The Misinterpretation of Silence and It's Disastrous Consequences" by Type O Negative.

Misguider · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 15:54 »

Probably Accident prone by Jawbreaker. Its six Minutes and I think it'd fit with whats going on.

In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country by Boards of Canada

thepugs · « **Reply #15 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 16:07 »

I'd probably listen to Sleep's "Dopesmoker," because it's 63 or so minutes long, and simultaneously both cool enough and sad enough to warrent being a last song ever.

Gryff · « **Reply #16 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 16:14 »

'The Mercy Seat' by Nick Cave to see if I could freak out the shooter enough to stop them from killing me!

Napoleon the Clown · « **Reply #17 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 16:32 »

I would request "The Song that Never Ends."

In all seriousness, probably "Bohemian Rahpsody". Partly for the mildly ironic beggining but mostly because I like it.

RallyMonkey · « **Reply #18 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 16:34 »

I've always thought it would be pretty kick ass to go out with Goodbye Cruel World - Pink Floyd.

'Punk Rock Song' by Avenue D

Fuck me fuck me fuck me hard
fuck me in a vat of lard
throw me up against the wall
let me grab you by the balls
why don't we just fuck right here
on the bar, move the beer
pull my hair, grab my neck,
lube me up with cum and sweat

I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch

bend over, shut your eyes
grit your teeth, spread your thighs

I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch

beat me beat me beat me up
in your rusty pick up truck
make me suck your rock hard cock
shove it in my pretty cunt

I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch

pump me pump me pump me full
let me ride you like a bull
throw me down treat me rough
don't stop till I've had enough
treat me like a dirty slut
stick your fingers in my butt
wrap my legs around your head
if you cum right now, YOU'RE DEAD!

I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch

Mozart's piano concerto in D minor, just because it's so gorgeous, and has such a wonderfully gentle, poignant end.

Mikendher · « **Reply #21 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 19:16 »

What's that song that's been going for hundreds of years? I choose that one. (you know, where they play a note every so often)

IndieRawk · « **Reply #22 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 19:21 »

Where Is My Mind - The Pixies, definetely

greenMonkey · « **Reply #23 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 19:26 »

Actually, 'Dead' by the Pixies would be pretty ironic.

Johnny C · « **Reply #24 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 20:09 »

"Comma Comma Comma Full Stop" by Brakes.

soak · « **Reply #25 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 20:10 »

I've Been Tired by Pixies would be better, it would remind you that there are worse ways to go -

Quote from: Black Francis

"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
"Just kidding" I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"

The Hammered · « **Reply #26 on:** 04 Oct 2006, 22:43 »

While we're talking about Pixies songs, I think Hang Wire or Stormy Weather would be good songs for this. Broken Face would be appropriate lyrically, though I don't love it quite as much as I used to.

Splunkle · « **Reply #27 on:** 05 Oct 2006, 09:36 »

While I'm tempted to say Maggot Brain, by Funkadelic (OMG GUITAR), I would probably go for Longplayer as well. 1000 years is a nice long time to live.

mberan42 · « **Reply #28 on:** 05 Oct 2006, 13:39 »

While Untitled 7 (Dauðalagið) would be most appropriate, I'd have to go with Untitled 8 (Popplagið) by Sigur Rós.

Second choice would be Mogwai Fear Satan by Mogwai.

Night Rocker · « **Reply #29 on:** 05 Oct 2006, 15:29 »

"Wont Get Fooled Again" - The Who, or, hell, anything by the Who.

Any of those songs would be awesome.

I might pick Washer or Good Morning, Captain by Slint, but that's really just indicative of my current listening habits.

a pack of wolves · « **Reply #32 on:** 05 Oct 2006, 17:56 »

I could go quite happily after hearing Washer again too. Or maybe History Lesson - Part II by the Minutemen.

Kai · « **Reply #33 on:** 05 Oct 2006, 18:11 »

Fugazi - Last Chance for a Slow Dance is sticking out to me to be a fitting deth song.

That or I Wanna Be Your Dog.

End on End, by Rites Of Spring
If its going to be the last song I hear I want it to be one that still makes my chest tight.

edgyswingsetacid · « **Reply #35 on:** 06 Oct 2006, 00:15 »

probably "fuck you" by the queers. it's like 40 seconds long and gets right to the point. i don't think i'd have the nerve to sit and listen to a 12 minute long mogwai song or some moody introspective sigur ros thing knowing that i'd be shot in the head in a matter of moments.

AlexAttack · « **Reply #36 on:** 06 Oct 2006, 10:56 »

Sally Maclennane by The Pogues.
Its so upbeat that the chap with the gun might have a change of heart.
Then we could go to the pub and have a pint of guiness and maybe some pie......

Spartan Pho3nix · « **Reply #37 on:** 06 Oct 2006, 16:01 »

We should write a "Songs to Die To" playlist...

either for those really emo moments, or to be really uplifting.

Spartan Pho3nix · « **Reply #38 on:** 06 Oct 2006, 16:10 »

BTW - my last song would i think be I'm the Man who Loves you (wilco)

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #39 on:** 06 Oct 2006, 17:48 »

Now for my serious answer

I think it would be Poor Places - Wilco as it has been my favourite song for a long time.

Probably 'Generator' by Holloways so I'd forget I was about to die and start dancing the happy dance to throw off the gun weilder.

Or, y'know, something miserable, vaguely poignant and entirely inappropriate.

Like 'How Soon Is Now'. But done by Tatu.
A girl's gotta do something to guarantee her place in hell...

Hrrrrmmmmm.

I think I'll pick 'Ready To Die' by The Unicorns.

Sure, it's a really short song, but I still like it. AND I GUESS ITS APPROPRIATE, SINCE I'M READY TO DIE.

Huh, now that I think about, maybe 'I Don't Wanna Die,' which is also by The Unicorns. I can't decide!

well, while it is only six seconds long, and i agree with you that it is an appropriate choice, there exists one insurmountable difference between "comma..." and "fuck you." this, of course, lies in the fact that "fuck you" will leave one dancing around shouting, "i don't wanna hang around with you, i think you suck and smell bad too," or perhaps more appropriately, "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you." and, of course, if i'm going out, i want to do it while shouting expletives.

No, really, I think I'd go with Sweet Avenue by Damien Rice. I haven't heard much else by the guy, the song isn't the best song evar OMG, and I don't even know how I got it, but I like it a lot. Seems like it would be a decent note to go out on, just feeling contented-like and happy.

EDIT:[/i] Oh oh oh the Spam Song by Monty Python!

Narr · « **Reply #49 on:** 08 Oct 2006, 23:35 »

I'd probably want some Hymn to play. Not really sure which, but definately church music. It's just the only thing I could imagine listening to before taking a bullet to the brain.
