A Song That You Want Played at Your Funeral

[coffeesnob318]

The original prompt says "A song you want to play at your funeral." I now need to figure out how I can show up at my own funeral and play a song for the people. Without doing the Huck Finn thing. *plots*

When I was little, I assumed that this song was talking about Heaven. I still don't know if it is or not, but that's what I think about when I hear it.

If you can figure out how to show up at your funeral and play a song, well then I'm thinking you'll have become a poltergeist and I may bee too scared to go!

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" is a great song, though it is somewhat poignant, isn't it. I like Mandy Patinkin's rendition, it gave me chills. And Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole's version is so awesome, even though he changes a lot of the words. I think it gives it a more uplifting take ...

For myself I've already told my friends and family to play Brian Setzer Orchastra's version of "This Old House". Cuz who wouldn't love to hear some kicking swing music celebrating the next stage of our journey?

I agree! Big Audio Dynamite's Rush was a close second for this prompt.
