TOP TEN BRITISH FUNERAL SONGS. (Somebody get a life.)

Look at this lot.
1 My Way Frank Sinatra
2 Wind Beneath My Wings Bette Midler
3 Angels Robbie Williams
4 My Heart Will Go On Celine Dion
5 Simply The Best Tina Turner
6 I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston
7 You'll Never Walk Alone Gerry and the Pacemakers
8 Over The Rainbow Eva Cassidy
9 Time To Say Goodbye Sarah Brightman
10 We'll Meet Again Dame Vera Lynn
Do you really want to put your friends and relatives through this while they see you disappear into the floor to turn into a pile of ash?
Sort it out before bird flu sorts you out.
Even the appropriately named Birdie Song would be better, at least your granny with alzheimers (the one that doesn't even remember who you are) will know it - they do it all the time in the old folk's home for a workout.
So come on, leave your suggestions that'll get your funeral party started, and let's get a new top ten...

When I was young I thought "Whip in My Valise" by Adam & the Ants. Now... I don't know. "Yes" by Manic Street Preachers, maybe?

Wife and I had "Life Goes On" by 2Pac playing as we left the comune (Italian town hall/register office) after getting married. And the orchestral version of "A Design For Life" by the Manics to play us in. Wedding songs... a whole other list of possibilities.

Wow. Was it the Anita Dobson vocal version of EastEnders, ie, Anyone Can Fall In Love, or was it played from a TV themes record, and so true to the TV original. Um, as long the memory's not too painful of course...
