Title: the last song you will ever hear
Post by: 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.)

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” (http://longplayer.org/)?  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?

Post by: Will 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...

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.

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.

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.

'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

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

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.

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.

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!

*ahem*

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.

I'd probably listen to The All-American Rejects - The Last Song, just to listen to something with a quite litteral title :) Although it's really a hard question to answer, as there are far better songs in this world, but maybe not fitting for such a situation? Indeed, a thought of the day.

The Horn Intro from Good News for People Who Love Bad News, 'cause it's like 9 seconds long. Why would you want to hear a song that's six minutes long? Wouldn't that just give you time to do nothing but contemplate the fact that you're going to die?

At least with a short song, you don't have to worry for long.

That, or something by 50cent... because then a bullet in the brain would be a sweet relief

I retract my earlier statement, in light of the idea of torturing the person who's going to shoot you. I'd sing "Heat of the moment" by Asia, in the voice of Cartman from southpark (complete with handclaps ? la Kenny Dies episode)

Post by: roint on 17 Oct 2006, 16:50
It's a tough choice.

But I think that if I were ever placed in this situation, I'd realistically choose something joyful, long, and epic, and the very first thing that came to mind is:

Tchaikovsky's Opus 23, "Piano Concerto #1 in B flat minor"

Not only because the peice is about a half hour long, but becuase it's just so beautiful and spiritually uplifting. I truly think I'd die a happy man if this was the last thing I heard. The guy can blow my brains out right at the end of the flourish at "Allegro with Fire", in time with the music ;-).

BTW, don't get the impression that I listen to a lot of classical music, or any for that matter. In fact, I had to grab my CD and research Wikipedia to find out what the full title of these ogg vorbis rips I've been listeneing to all these years was ;-).
Title: Re: the last song you will ever hear
Post by: Rudy Rudy on 17 Oct 2006, 21:35
I guess in answer to my own question, I would say "Aqueous Transmission" by Incubus.

If you know the song, you know that it's about seven minutes long, but the last minute or so is just cricket noises and water sounds. Right? So, the guy keeps sitting up and clearing his throat thinking the song is over, but I'm all like:

"Oh, no, man ... deal is a deal, I wanna hear those crickets!"

Hell yeah.
Title: Re: the last song you will ever hear
Post by: strawberry_gashes on 18 Oct 2006, 14:05
Now I would say a song that is obscenely long, such as Third Eye (By Tool, at over 13 minutes) but honestly, I wouldn't want to sit there for that long in agony.

So I will say "With A Thousand Words To Say But One" (Darkest Hour) just out of the shear irony.
The last lines are:  "And walking through the rain
We'll see the beauty in life again."

Wow what a question!  I like the idea of Sally MacLennane - now that's a track to play at a club by the way, one of the DJs at my union has a habit of throwing Pogues tracks in and it works brilliantly.

But back on topic - if I was going to die, and could only listen to one song, my mind would go blank.  I think, and I hate to copy, it would be 'Fairytale of New York' by the Pogue and Kirsy McColl because it's just such an amazing song, and it has so many good memories for me. 
Title: Re: the last song you will ever hear
Post by: AcrophobicPixie on 24 Oct 2006, 10:01
Very good question...

I'd probably have to go with something like "Scream" or "Asleep for Days" by Seven Nations. Make it hard for the guy to find it, therefore can go sneakysneak away and get off scot free.
Maybe "The River" by Tapping the Vein, or the remake of "Little Sister" by Carfax Abbey. Get with the dark vibe, and all.

If classical music really is an option, then I'd probably opt for some Mahler (maybe his 2. Symphony labelled "Resurrection" - definitely NOT just because of this tag). But since each symphony usually consists of several movements, maybe this doesn't qualify as "last piece of music you'll ever hear". If so, then I'ld choose "Neptune" (i.e. the final movement of Holst's "The Planets") - it would feel like being -? already in advance - carried away to heavens (or whatever aetheric elysium one might imagine when listening to this women choire in the endsection).

Classical tunes aside it's even harder to make a decision. To choose one of my all-time favourites would make me sad, since I'd know that I would listen to it for the very last time. But finally I came up with "Blow out" by Radiohead - yep, sounds like another pun, but actually I only remembered the title when I just read it on the CD-Cover - the climax of that final guitar-riff, I think, makes for an excellent moment to pass out and away.

hmm maybe something by mogwai, becuase i tend to go to sleep when i listen to them and sleeping sounds like a peaceful death, maybe the tide by the spill canvas cause it makes me want to die anyway (not that i don't like it, they're brilliant), or bukowski by modest mouse.
Title: Re: the last song you will ever hear
Post by: Dill on 07 Nov 2006, 09:53
Other than the stuff suggested, I might go with "The Funeral", by Band of Horses. That is a song that might make me a little more comfortable before going down. "At any occasion, I am ready for the funeral." Mogwai would be close behind. I've always been a fan of "Hunted by a Freak".

the happy happy joy joy song as performed by Ren and Stimpy, I don't see how anyone could possibly take themselves seriously enough to kill anyone after hearing it? :-D

failing that, for my own benefit, King Crimson, maybe Lark's Tongues in Aspic, maybe some Opeth.

Title: Re: the last song you will ever hear
Post by: Der Golem on 08 Nov 2006, 05:06
I'm thinking Jane Doe by Converge, that song just sounds like dying. Fermented Offal Discharge by Necrophagist might also do if I was in that kinda mood, because of the amazing solo at the end, and then the abrupt ending. Perfect to be shot to I should think.

Alternitively, I could go out to something more laid back. December Song by Sol Invictus comes to mind, maybe some Agalloch. Tomhet by Burzum would make for a very relaxed death. Khetti Sahsa Shemsu by Nile very much captures the feeling of being about to be killed, so that might be fitting.

Lou Reed- Metal Machine Music on vinyl. It has a locked groove at the end of side 4. Of course, listening to it for eternity would be worse than death.

I would go with Death Don't Have No Mercy or Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead. Just two of my favorite songs.

Or, if we were going with songs that I really liked, "Decatur, or a Round of Applause for Your Stepmother" - Sufjan Stevens or "Leslie Ann Levine" by the Decemberists.

If you were dressed up like a clown, "John Wayne Gacy Jr.", also by Sufjan Stevens.

See, this is a hard one.  On one hand, my natural reaction is to say "Fools Gold" by the Stone Roses, because a) I fucking love that song b) it is long and c) maybe the beat would cause the gun wielding maniac to get their funk on, forgetting about me so that I can escape.  But, I have heard that song thousands of times, so maybe I should revisit a song I've not listened to in a while.  "Jock-o-rama" by the Dead Kennedys leaps to mind (not sure why) as does "Turkish Song of the Damned" by the Pogues. 

If Shane McGowen drunken growling isn't the perfect foray into death, then I don't know what is.

I know that I wouldn't want to hear something new to me.  I would hate to be seconds away from death, totally digging a song that I had never heard, because I know I'd just get all pissy with myself for all the time I wasted trying to get the appeal of Interpol when I could have just enjoyed the last band I will ever hear.

So, in conclusion, Johnny Cash's "25 Minutes To Go" has a certain appeal.

"The Last Song Ever" by Secondhand Serenade
"Play Crack The Sky" by Brand New
"Such Great Heights" by Iron & Wine
"The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron & Wine

one of those i think.  "The Last Song Ever" because of the appropriate title.  "Play Crack The Sky" because of it's subject, only i wouldn't be dying at sea.  and "Such Great Heights" because of it's sentimental value to me.  and "The Trapeze Swinger" because it's all happy and reflective like.

yep.

Another good one:  "Hym" by Isis.  It's the last track on Oceanic, which - when you follow the stoyline to the album - is where the lead female character kills herself.  It's an incredibly moving piece of music, and would fit the theme of "Last song you'll ever hear" rather well.

That is almost certainly too good to be true.  That would be too beautiful for words. There's always some silly rumor about Jeff doing something or other that he is not actually doing, though. Posts on message boards that apparently aren't actually by him, etc. Sigh.

Just in case, though, where and when did she hear it?  I'd much rather be a gullible asshole than miss something that actually DOES happen. I'd sell my soul for a chance to see Mangum live in any form or grouping or context whatsoever. I'd willingly sit and watch the man pour sewage over his head and hop around chanting michael bolton lyrics reworded in iambic pentameter.

I'd like to think that because she's in a band she has some special insight into this, but I'm pretty sure she just read it on a messege board/fan site and the chances of it being true are  almost nil, especially since The Mountain Goats tour all the time.
