Inappropriate Songs

For some reason Pete and I always ended up having strange conversation topic. Now here we have: inappropriate funearl songs.

Until it sleeps - Metallica
Don't you (forget about me) - Simple Minds
I just died in your arms tonight - Air Supply
Zombie - Cranberries
Every breath you take - The Police
Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees

And of course, strangely appropriate but probably would freak everyone out:

O Fortuna.

Man I still want O Fortuna to be played as my wedding procession, none of those wedding march business. Can you imagine how cool that would be, to be walking down the asile with O fortuna playing in the background? *sigh*. Alas, I don't think even Pete would approve. :P (My mum will kill me for that, I'm sure.)

I'm still not too sure why everyone wants to play Angel by Robbie Williams in funeral. To be honest I find that somewhat... strange to play that song in funeral. It almost sounded like that guy committed suicide if that song's played. There are tonnes of better songs to be played. My personal favourite of appropriate funeral songs is probably still Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day. See? THAT got class. And it's not depression like Trouble by Coldplay. (Although that would be one kick ass song to play for a funeral, depressing as hell.) Obviously, if you want to do for the depression as hell look for your funeral, there's always Mad World by Gary Jules.

Of course, you can go the other extreme and have "Always look on bright side of life". It worked for Graham Chapman. And very appropriate too. Although I think Eric Idle did mention that he almost cried when he sang that at the funeral. Heck I almost cried watcing the clips. So you probably can't avoid the saddness of it.

Speaking of Green Day's Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) (and I still refused to call it simply "Time of Your Life"...), apparently it's actually a common choice for weddings. I suppose some newlyweds must be finding comforts in words like "It's not a question but a lesson learnt in time."

Weirdos.
