What music do you want at your funeral?

Holy Crap. I just physically went and shared that song with every family member that was awake. Thanks for an excellent contribution to the mental collection.

I've heard of the band, but not the tune.

My little brother knew it, but had forgotten about it.

Really enjoyed that.

Glad you enjoyed it, it seems apropos for a funeral considering the lyrics and the pace of the music ;-) Here's another Alan parsons, the eagle will rise again;


An interesting side note, Alan parsons worked with Hawkwind, Arthur brown and Eric wolfson on a story album called "captain Lockheed and the starfighters". It is a story set to music about Germany's acquisition of their new shiny toys. It is an interesting album ;-)

Cheers - Dave

Apocalyptica - One - www.youtube.com...

Side note on the last one - While all have meaning to me, the last song has a bit more than most, bringing me back to riding home in the backseat of a car, full moon streaming in, an attractive girl, and this playing on the radio....and a first kiss. I'd be horrified if this never played at my funeral, enough so that I'd come back and haunt people until they played it.

"Pop Goes the Weasel" with an open casket....Everyone would be staring towards the front waiting.......
