If the CD was scratched, I'd plumb for Don't Stop Me Now, Queen.<br /><br />If that was scracthed, it would have to be the theme tune to Only Fools and horses. No income tax, no vat!!

Not much good if you're being buried though:) But still, it's in the spirit of things....:) I think I could pass over Lou Reed but I could defintely lie in state to Dead Man Blues:)<br /><br />A Magic Roundabout themed party? I like it! And what could be more appropriate than your bunny ears stapled to the coffin? Excellent idea! Also, everyone could come with springs attached to their feet and then you could finish the proceedings with a "Who Can Jump The Nearest to Heaven" competition; I might not do too well as I have strong gravitational pull... <br /><br />Hmm..I'm sensing a blusey, sort of moody funeral with a lot of incense around... Hmm... what have you been growing in your garden lately PB?

(Well not anymore that I thought you were already!- Just kiddin') I think it is pretty normal to think through these things - and of course when you get to an age when bereavements become more commonplace one can't help but think about one's own mortality.<br /><br />As a point of interest - one day I plan to write my own Goodbye Speech what could be better - my voice from beyond the grave... I intend to make it one of the funnniest things I've ever written as I would want folks to remember me for my happier side and not the woman who gets depressed when she burns the baked beans....Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-64256096661810190192010-06-03T08:11:40.186+01:002010-06-03T08:11:40.186+01:00It's much easier deciding what it won't be...It's much easier deciding what it won't be. It definitely won't be <i>Spirit in the Sky</i>, although Arthur Brown's <i>Fire</i> might work [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOErZuzZpS8 ]. I wouldn't mind <i>Goodnight, Ladies</i> or <i>Walk on the Wild Side</i>, and the advantage in having those two songs is that Lou Reed could perform both. However, I think I'll settle for Jelly Roll Morton's <i>Dead Man Blues</i> [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP7KZDP4DYk ] and, definitely, the TV theme tune to <i>The Magic Roundabout</i> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ing31q_YKTM ]. I think that would get the pall-bearers skipping down the aisle with me on their shoulders. Yeah, wouldn't mind that. It would set the tone for a decent party. A fancy-dress wake. Everyone could come dressed up as a character from TMR. I'd have a couple of big ears stapled to the top of the coffin so I could take the role of that big rabbit Dylan.Paul Burmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794317430080282991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-87394739984173122012010-06-03T03:43:35.499+01:002010-06-03T03:43:35.499+01:00I actually think about this a lot.

You could have Paberback Writer perhaps?? Anyway, make it something cheery; all these sad songs are making feel like listening to boy bands...and that simply won't do!! <br /><br />Hmm..How about Paperback Writer ?(With a few lyrics changed!)Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-18953215219876427752010-06-02T13:22:36.157+01:002010-06-02T13:22:36.157+01:00Never thought of a song to go out of life with.
