having been to the funeral of an aunt today and having listened and attempted to sing the old rugged cross for the umpteenth time at a funeral lol , it got me thinking what song/hymm would you want played at your funeral?
for me , me fav rainbow connection by kermy lol, i have left instructions with a cd for me kids bless em, i have told them no black and everyone has to wear something lime green or tangerine no matter how small lol………. so whats yer song, skip the obvious bat out of hell and i will always love yas tho :wink:
in a whirlpool of youtube links this is a wonderful idea for a thread. Spot on cath25 xx
My auntmaud has just left – tough ol’ east end girl who had miscarriages on the underground during the blitz and all that. She was 90 and although mugged for her pension a few times in recent years (by recent arrivals to this country), kept a tight hold of that bag of hers and fought back well until the strength of her assailants was too much bless her. Her husband, having died fighting for this country during the second world war was not around to help her.
Anyway, they played this cheesey Max Bygraves song in the church. The kind of tune that was popular up the pub of a friday night during the 50’s. And there wasn’t a dry eye in god’s house.
I’m having one poem and one song at my farewell and I know what they’d be too.

aint ya gonna share what it is doggie? xxx
Time Of Your Life by Green Day cos it’s my favourite song. But I’d rather be cremated than have a funeral as such.
lol i just remembered one of my childhood fav max bygrave songssssssss goes something a little like this lol
You’re a pink toothbrush, I’m a blue toothbrush
Have we met somewhere before?
You’re a pink toothbrush and I think toothbrush
That we met by the bathroom door.Glad to meet toothbrush, such a sweet toothbrush
How you thrill me through and through
Dont be hard toothbrush on a soft toothbrush
‘Cause I cant help loving you.Every time I hear you whistle…… it makes my nylon bristle…….
You’re a pink toothbrush, I’m a blue toothbrush
Won’t you marry me in haste?
I’ll be true toothbrush, just to you toothbrush

poli danny boy is the one that does it for me……. me mum …….. never fails to remind me of her xx
Its one of those things you dont wanna think seriously about.
I have loads that I have out loud said yep….that’ll be the one…. but my funeral would last about 28 days if I had to squeeze it all in and there would be a lot more than just me needing a coffin at that rate.
Ive been taking note of the oldies on a saturday night up the legion…. having spent lifetimes together and still getting up dancing on a saturday night to great live bands.
Seeing the love, there aint really a song in the world to do it justice.
So………….. back to my list.
