I was just randomly thinking about how I would want my funeral to go and I got to talking to some friends about what we would like to be played at our funerals. I was debating with myself on where to post this but I think its more of a general topic so its here.

Everything seems to fall into one of three catagories. There are the somber songs that would probably make your little sister cry.
example: Modest Mouse - Lives.

Then there are the offensive songs that would show your good humor about death and get your corpse (or ashes or whatever) a few odd looks from distant reletives.
example: ACDC - highway to hell

Lastly there are the just plain weird songs of the sort that Andy Koffman or Salvador Dali would probably have liked played at their funerals. Personally I like these the best as (imho) they would reflect well on the personality of the dead and would put a smile on peoples' faces and help them move on.
(bad)example: Moldy Peaches - Who's got the crack?

So what do you think? What songs or spoken word (William S. Burroughs anyone?) would you like played at your funeral?
