When I die I'm having the Benny Hill theme tune.
And I'm going to be put in a constant position of heart attack by a taxidermist and kept in the garden shed.

You'd need them to
put wheels on you and then mandate in your will that they push you round the garden once a week

Ha I told my mum I was going to play that at her funeral

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:37, Reply)

Was she bound and gagged at the time?

( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:38, Reply)

Also what did she die of?
Being too sexy?
( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Then you should play
I just died in your arms tonight
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:36, Reply)

I bet his nan was well sexy.
I'd like to give her a love bite on her neck, it would be there for fucking months, you know how easy old people bruise.
( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:37, Reply)

They dont know what
she died of, must have been some sort of MYSTERY DISEASE!
(Psymon_Spark Jesus Saves! The rest of you take 4d6 damage, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:38, Reply)

probably being too sexy I bet.

Or how about
AIDS by Ween?

Yes indeedy, that would be good.
But I'm sticking with my original decision.
I'm not a flip-flopper.

Your Funny Uncle by Pet Shop Boys
Seriously. It's about a friend of Neil Tennant who died and the experience he had going to his funeral. Beautiful song.
( djtrialprice, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 14:38, Reply)

and I'd just like to take this opportunity
to mention again the totally excellent song I Set Your Baby On Fire (or something like that) by A*** C***

Yaaay!

You're turning her into creme brulee?

It was what she
would have wanted. She loved those little kitchen blowtorch thingys

I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about treating Psymon's nan's passing with such levity.
So I'm going down the "what I'd have at my funeral" route.

For the bit when everyone's sad and says what a decent sort you were - Song To The Siren by This Mortal Coil.

Then afterwards in the pub when after a few drinks people start to say that you could be a bit of a twat, and how they'll never get that £20 back now - Funeral Stomp by Robert Lloyd & The New Four Seasons.

Well, he did anounce it on the internet
that's like putting Joey Deacon on Blue Peter and not expecting kids to belm at each other for the next 25 years

Sentiment noted
but if you cant rely on b3ta for some twisted humour to cheer oneself up then what can you rely on?
(Psymon_Spark Jesus Saves! The rest of you take 4d6 damage, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:14, Reply)

Am no good at being appropriate
So will nominate "Dead Skin Mask" by Slayer, in the hope that someone here will know it and go "eeeewwwwwwwwwww..."
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:00, Reply)

I'd rather have "South of Heaven" at mine
Or "Hell Awaits"
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:01, Reply)

Yeah but you're going to hell anyway, just for liking Slayer
Dead Skin Mask opens up a whole new world of disgusting possibilities
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:03, Reply)

I'd say my liking of Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and Behemoth puts me in a slightly worse light than Slayer
Plus, Tom Araya is Christian anyway
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:06, Reply)

I have a deliberately contradictory theory
that anyone who can tell the difference between three or four Cannibal Corpse songs should be allowed entry to heaven on grounds of merit

That said, I used to delight in telling people, at the height of the Britpop craze, that Carcass were Liverpool's best-ever four-piece
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:09, Reply)

They clearly are the best
I can tell the difference between about 7 by ear, I reckon
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:13, Reply)

Then you'll get into heaven,
and your funeral song should be YMCA just to mock god before he accepts you into his fictional embrace

I think the Almighty should have a sense of humour, the fucker

When I'm being carried into the church, I'd like to have them play the wedding march, just to confuse people

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:01, Reply)

I like this
but i'm thinking of using Faure's Requiem instead.
(Psymon_Spark Jesus Saves! The rest of you take 4d6 damage, Tue 20 Jul 2010, 15:16, Reply)

Maybe 'Ode To Joy' as well?
