What would be your final funeral song?

I think mine will be: Burn Baby Burn, Disco Inferno ... or possibly the Hokey cokey!

( This is a humorous topic, please don't take offense if we get humorous or emotional replies! )

Just very slightly off topic but I saw a report yesterday of a man who had arrived late at a funeral and needed his phone satnav to find the church.

As he crept in, hoping to be unnoticed, his phone suddenly announced 'You have reached your final destination'

Funny you should mention the Hokey Cokey when the guy that wrote that died it took several hours to get him in the coffin.

Several years ago now I went to a colleagues funeral at the crematorium.
As he passed out through the curtains they played I Walk on By, by Johnny Cash.
Just as well it wasn't Ring of Fire.

A good friend, several years ago, went out to a song that had, in his words, infuenced him greatly in his younger years. "The Ying Tong Song."

I've got a copy of Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross". With the second half of "The Chain" fairly seamlessly tagged on to the end which might be a treat if there is a long queue.

"We'll meet again"
