Three yeras ago when I first got into the Mae Shi I was also on a plane going overseas, and decided that if the plane crashed, their "Revelation Three" was what I wanted to be hearing.

Vaka by Sigur Ros, probably. I want the Diamond Sea by Sonic Youth to be played at my funeral.

Aw man why would you want to go out to an OC episode. That shit is gross.

It's not that I want to go out on to an OC episode, I want to go out to an SNL parody of an OC episode!

Actually "The Diamond Sea" would be a great song at a funeral

well you see me and all my friends here in my hometown all have a different way that we want to die, and mine is to die fucking a tiger, I know it's weird but it just needs to happen, cause really, be honest, what's more badass?
I mean it's a tiger!
so I think it's only appropriate to do it while listening to "eye of the tiger"

Patrick · « **Reply #63 on:** 04 Aug 2008, 03:22 »

Bonus points for actually managing to fuck a tiger in the eye.

If "Dick in a Box" is going to be played at your funeral, then you'd better make sure that they give you an open casket and leave your fly undone.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #66 on:** 04 Aug 2008, 14:06 »

Depending on the person, no preparation would be needed to make it fitting other than putting him in the coffin.

...that sounded quicker and witter in my head.

I don't know about dying to something, but I want Everything Dies by Type O Negative and Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen played at my funeral. And when I am buried, I want a sapling to be placed above my body. Because trees are better than flowers.

Neutral Milk Hotel's untitled track

A slow drown appears out of nowhere. I turn my head on its side, thinking I have another gnat stuck in my ear. Then the organs start. My eyes widen in surprise. A blast from a fuzzed out guitar. There appears in front of me a conglomeration of awesome. Batman steps out of the shadows. Biker Mice from Mars pop wheelies on their bikes. Naota and Kanti slowly drop down from the sky. Hooters girls bring me plates of hot wings and bacon. Matrix and Bob and the rest of the ReBoot cast invite me to a game. Rocco and his friends...do whatever it is they do. Wolves, bears, penguins, falcons, lions, dinosaurs, dragons, and unicorns side by side in peace. A bitchin' tank replaces my truck. Ninjas, pirates, and zombies. Also, I know kung fu.

Then the drums kick in, and we all rock the fuck out before my family pulls the plug.

Some more ideas...

Obnoxious Songs to go out to:

Living In A Hole - Pantera

Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains

In This Shallow Grave - Arch Enemy

Bloodrucuted - Dethklok

Serious List:

Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 - Neutral Milk Hotel ( I could be buried right after evilCarl ; )

Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam (I've always thought it was a great ending song)

Love Yer Brain - The Flaming Lips (This one I probably actually will have played at my funeral, Flips are amazing!)

The Sickbed of Cuchulainn - the Pogues.

Preferably performed by a bunch of my friends, really fucking drunk.

People would be drinking shitloads of whiskey and dancing and stuff.

"McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed
There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands

When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone
Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid
And you decked some fucking blackshirt who was cursing all the Yids
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

And in the Euston Tavern you screamed it was your shout
But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out
They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains
So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl
There was lousy drunken bastards singing "Billy In The Bowl"
They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch
So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church

Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks
And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round" <-(at this point someone makes my corpse sit up, weekend at Bernie's styling)
At the graveside of Cuchulainn we'll kneel around and pray
And God is in His heaven, and Billy's down by the bay"

I don't really think so, what I'm thinking about with these songs to die to is what would be playing while I die, and I'd like to die going down in some sort of crazy action movie sort of car chase shoot out sort of thing, which I imagine something like arcarsenal being played during, actually I would've put the first three tracks from Relationship of Command on that list.

I have a deal struck up with a friend that he will play "Arizona" by Kings of Leon at my funeral on Organ.

If I were alive to hear it, I'd probably cry tears of joy.

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life will be played at my funeral. I'll die to whatever the theme music was when the guy was being chased off of the cliff by topless supermodels.

God I love Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

Haha, this is almost typical, but:

Covenant - "Like Tears in Rain"
The Dismeberment Plan - "Time Bomb"

Or, whatever that Dylan song Soy Bomb was dancing to. I'd like to make a statement, too.

Now I have to watch Clerks and/or touch myself. Not sure which.

Though, wanting to watch a Kevin Smith movie--albeit his best--makes part of me want to actually die.

don't forget the second before you kick the bucket to down a handful of viagra, appearently you'll have a woodie for days thanks to rigor mortis

Actually I am pretty sure that when you die your heart can't pump any more blood (understatement makes it funny!), and, see, that's what powers boners.

Also, the longer I go on, the more I realize that "Automobile" by N.W.A. is the Only Funeral Song. Damn you, Gaz, why did you have to introduce me to this song?

Thrillho · « **Reply #95 on:** 10 Aug 2008, 13:57 »

Because everyone needs to hear it.

Especially if you died due to a dancing accident.

Thrillho · « **Reply #96 on:** 10 Aug 2008, 15:40 »

No, rigour mortis makes your muscles go stiff. Your dick is not a muscle. Your dick is made stiff by the blood pumping through it. Watch a full-salute penis, and it throbs, because it's kept that way from the blood. Also note it's a darker colour. Rigour mortis does not apply to your dick.

Thrillho · « **Reply #97 on:** 10 Aug 2008, 16:20 »

I didn't realise the definition of a muscle was 'something you can bend and twist.'

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #99 on:** 10 Aug 2008, 21:36 »

it is well documented, though, that in many cases erections appear post mortem. This is specially true when the person dies in an upright (hurr) position, such as hanging, since the blood will travel to the lower parts of the body, causing an erection.
