A song you should not play at a funeral

Choose a song that would be deemed inappropriate if played at a funeral. Let your creativity shine, or be dark.

At a funeral, it’s always important to have speeches and music appropriate to the life of the dearly departed.
Here’s how not to do it at the wife’s funeral.

So this is the song that inspired my choice of theme. I happened to be listening to this song when a hearse was passing… Couldn’t stop laughing for ages.

I think this might be particularly bad if it’s the second spouse you are burying.

Karen

This would just be creepy scary….????????????

Esther

This song is definitely not suitable for a funeral.

Wilfred

My song has no bearing on my current relationship and I will certainly not play it at my partner’s funeral. Just the fact that I am posting this song could result in my own funeral being brought forward a few years.
Anyway, here is to living on the edge…

Chrisna

Zosia

So guys this song says it all

Sue

I love this song but not for a funeral. Need I say more??? Enjoy!

The reason why Gregorian chants don’t go down well at funerals is because people find it difficult to sing-a-long.
I advocate playing livelier songs with easy lyrics so that the congregation can join in singing the chorus as they leave the chapel.
Here is an example by Chuck Berry.

Geraldine

Dear friend. You hated dancing and this song. ????

Paul

When you’re not liked and someone wants to make a point of it when you croak, yeah ……….
