Songs you don’t play at a funeral

[notaz3]

Walk of Life -- Dire Straits

Great, now that song will be stuck in my head for the next few hours.

 

[Hay Dude]

“Celebration” Kool & The Gang

No way! (I mean: “No way, man!”)
So many of their songs are about mortality and coming to terms with it.
Here’s the lyrics of just a few:

The Annotated "Broke-down Palace"

The Annotated "Black Peter"

The Annotated "Black Muddy River"

The Annotated "Box of Rain"

The Annotated "Bird Song"

The comment is directly focused on the name of the band, not their music!

You can't always get what you want

You know in all seriousness, my best friend was run over and killed by an 18 year old drunk driver about 15 years ago. His brother, also a great friend, knew what he would want at his funeral. He was a great person, athlete and friend. He would have wanted music and a kegger at his funeral.
All of us, grown men included, cried at the burial. A brutal day.
After the pastor gave his eulogy, “Higher” was played by Creed.

Ding-dong! The Witch is dead
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead
Wake up you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go
Below, below, below

Ok. That is the best one so far!!!!

I knew that. Just yanking chains. …if we go by band names..oh boy, there’d be a bunch…Black Sabbath, Slayer, etc..
