Title: i'm planning the music for my funeral
Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 23:49:18
is this morbid?

so far i've decided that i want the only hymn to be jerusalem.

roy harper - when an old cricketer leaves the crease (yes, it was played at john peel's funeral but it's such a beautiful song)
nick drake - from the morning
the smiths - there is a light that never goes out
half man half biscuit - dead men don't need season tickets

dress code: no black.

you're all invited

I'd have to go for something ironic or tongue in cheek. Like Mmmbop by Hanson.

Id like goodbye by the Spice Girls

Lots of sad songs to help everyone weep and mourn and miss me - I dont want one of these happy clappy new age lets all wear pink funerals - I want proper sadness!!!

It would be nice if Paul Sturrock could say a few words... a few of the players maybe... and a minutes silence at a game might be nice

I will say a few words

'she died after a battle to admit her love of pot noodles, instead of admitting it she use to run up to her bedroom and eat them under her bed.  She would clean her hands after using asda own soap hidden in a molton brown bottle of hand wash, sam parkin will miss her loads'

I'm surprised nobody has said Deeper Underground by Jamiroquai.

Post by: herthab on Wednesday, June 13, 2007, 12:45:25
If I was buried, I'd want 'Down Down, Deeper and Down' by Status Quo.
Or 'Going Underground' by The Jam.

If cremated it would have to be 'Fire' by The Strange World of Arthur Brown.


 :D

I reckon i might have 'So What' By The Anti Nowhere League  :D

Just look at these lyrics for class........

Well I've fucked this
And I've fucked that
And I've even fucked a schoolgirl's crack
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Who cares, who cares about you
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you....

 Roy Harper.....there's a name from the past, I saw him loads of times I suppose from 70 to about 76, he's the sort who was always on the road.  

  It was about this time that he contracted some mangy disease from kissing a sheep....so had a bit of a break, my tastes changed and he fell off my radar....I actually thought he'd died, but is indeed alive and well and still performing.

 I suppose Billy Bragg, would be someone more contemporary of a similar type.

i believe his son is quite the musician as well, of similar ilk to his father. i don't know much about roy, only references in led zep songs and that the song in question was played at john peel's funeral.

were you ever a folkie reg or do you just have a pathological hatred of them?

   I developed a particular hatred of folkies when being run out of town at a festival at Bromyard, for singing football songs in a pub, and sticking my tent up somewhere where its wasn't supposed to be although there was available space.....other subsequent events, have merely reinforced  this view.

  I like the fact that a fella like Alfred Williams could produce a whole book of folk songs collected from  settlements between Swindon and Faringdon, because that was the active voice of the time in those communities, but whether we like it or not the active voice of "folk" music  (namely contemporary music ) is something altogether different now.

 There are pockets England,  where traditions can be maintained but few and far between.   Ireland, is somewhere where folk music still exists.
