Hey Pandas, It’s Your Funeral. What Is Your Swan-Song, But Also Another Song To Make The Mourners Laugh? (Closed)
Ok. You’re dead. What would be that one song that sums up your life for you? But also, another song that would make the mourner's chortle?

I actually have a playlist of music for my funeral in the case of my untimely death, but if I had to pick two it would be Missing You by Jem, and the Nyan Cat music.
For the first, I would do one of my own songs I have written. It’s what I would have wanted to leave behind, my legacy of an aspiring writer. Then, to top it off with my sick sense of humor, my casket would be closed, and “Pop Goes the Weasel” would be sung with increasing urgency until everyone would be starting at my casket with horrified anticipation.
Without anyone else hearing them? Why not have them played at your funeral? I think it would be great if after they've heard them someone would then tell them that all the songs they have been listening to were written by you.
Mine:
A) Song to the Siren - Tim Buckley and, as I want to be cremated, B) Hot Hot Hot (Arrow song)
Wish you were here, Pink Floyd.
Highway to hell, AC/DC
“Ira di dio” from Emma Shapplin and “Highway to hell” from AC/DC
Ironically, I just realize that was my choice for my wedding, too...
I would play only one song and it would either be Thriller or The Best Day Ever from spongebob

I should've known one of them was gonna be a rickroll!!! Damn, you got me good there
Trigger Warnign****** I was recently suicidal, and I would have picked Praying (cover by pentatonix of kesha) , in a way, as my suicide note for my parents. (I'm doing a lot better) Rn, I would say Wild Hearts Can't be Broken as a swansong, or maybe Over the Rainbow. And for a laugh, Santa Claus is coming to town.
A friend of mine passed and had Amazing Grace sang during the service. After the burial as mourner were leaving, at the deceased request, Wipe Out was playing over a loud speaker. That was my Johnny for ya!!!
