[SladeHino]

I want:

Bob Marley- Don't worry be happy.
Tom Petty- last dance with mary jane.
Beatles- Hello Goodybye
And then a Random song that has them wondering why the hell its in there and in the middle im gonna edit it and just scream and scare the piss outta everyone. And then say a few words. (If I can do this)

That's all.

Wow never thought about what songs I'd like to have at my funeral.
First off I'd like to have 2 seperate funerals held, one for my friends and another for my family.

Close friends who know me already know I have a sick sense of humor so they won't be surprised when they hear.

Buried Alive- Venom
Only Ash Remains- Necrophagist
Ways to the Grave -Bloodbath
Skull Full of Maggots-Cannibal Corpse
Nothing is Everything- Death
In Shadows & Dust- Kataklysm
Blessed Dead- Venom
Life and Death- Iced Earth
for the finale Have A Drink On Me- AC/DC

For my family though it would be a totally difference deal. I'd like to keep it up and up with songs I feel very personal about and songs that I would actually listen to whenever I was in a difficult situation in life. So here's the list...

Don't Worry, Be Happy- Bobby McFerrin
One Love- Bob Marley
Have You Ever Seen The Rain?- Creedence Clearwater Revival(CCR)
Good Times- The Animals
Old Days- Chicago
Land Called Home- Jacob Miller
Wonderful World, Beautiful People- Jimmy Cliff
Prediction- Steel Pulse
Kingston Town- UB40
for the finale I'd go off on a happy note with Shining- Steel Pulse

Wow I really had to think about the family one but I think I would like those songs in the background. Good thread I'd really like to see other peoples song picks.
