i would play stairway to heaven...jk
thats a good song though
or dont take my life by triumph...not truly
but thats also a pretty good song

i would have to go with
shine on you crazy diamond (bolth of them!) by pink floyd
just cuz its freekin epic

I know this will sound crazy, but I would like to be driven to my grave in a herse built like the one from The Munsters with the Rob Zombie song "Dragula" (supposedly the idea for this song was Herman's car "Dragula") blaring from the car's stereo!

Edited to add: I kinda like a banjo player to play "Dixie" after the services on my way to the herse, and a piper playing "Scotland the Brave" as they lower me into the hole.

OK....

This is very serious, so please take it as such.

The event begins with Lionel Richie Easy Like Sunday Mornin'

It's one of those songs that would tug at people's heartstrings you know?

Anyway, I'd follow that with a little Freebird. The 15 minute version of course. mainly because I got stuck with singing the 2 minute version one day at Karaoke and this will be my ultimate payback. That and it's another one of those heartstring songs.

Then, to finish her up, we'll go with Any Way You Want It by Journey. We crack the beer, we break out the golf clubs and everyone parties knowing that I'm up there with Rodney Dangerfield reliving the famous scene from Caddyshack.

For my funeral I would say, either, "You can't always get what you want", by The Rolling Stones; or "Knocking on heaven's door", by Bob Dylan.

Songs (plural):
For the pre-funeral visitation (slideshow) in order of first to last:
"Greenfields" by The Brothers Four
"Try to Remember" by The Brothers Four
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole
"You'll Never Walk Alone" by The Lettermen
For the funeral:
"Amazing Grace"
"How Great Tho Art"

I would absolutely love, Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses. It has a reminiscent feeling of some very happy years for me. And it Rocks.
