    A bit of a morbid topic maybe but something worth thinking about. If you could only choose one song to play at your own funeral and/or reception which would it be? If you can, say why. Mine would be Ace of Spades. Preferably live - even if by then it would be a Motorhead tribute band. I just think that as well as being an excellent song it would sum up the occasion perfectly. I'd rather go to hell on a good note than some old-fashioned hymn that no one can sing properly.

        Ooo that'll be fun... Saint Peter: "Ah, Andrew - nice to see - " Anna-Jayne: "It's Anna-Jayne." SP: "Ah... er um well, it says here we sent down an Andrew." AJ: "I've been meaning to talk to you about that." SP: "Hmmm... this is going to mess up our quota you know." AJ: "Quota?" SP: "Yes. We mostly 'reap what we sow' as it were." AJ: (wryly) "How awful for you." SP: "Fancy a bit of a break down south?" AJ: (even more wryly) "Sounds lovely..." :)

                                Song 2 by Blur. Not for the lyrics. Not for the meaning. Not for the significance. Just because it's a flipping good track.

                                      A bit of a morbid topic maybe but something worth thinking about. If you could only choose one song to play at your own funeral and/or reception which would it be? If you can, say why. Mine would be Ace of Spades. Preferably live - even if by then it would be a Motorhead tribute band. I just think that as well as being an excellent song it would sum up the occasion perfectly. I'd rather go to hell on a good note than some old-fashioned hymn that no one can sing properly.

                                          I wonder what Freddy Mercury would have thought about Queen coming up so often as funeral music in such a random group of people.
