This is a question The Soundtrack of your Life

Che Grimsdale writes: Now that Simon Cowell's stolen Everybody Hurts, tell us about songs that mean something to you - good, bad, funny or tragic, appropriate or totally inappropriate songs that were playing at key times.

It's funny
When the same thing pops into everyone's head at once, or their subconcious minds all work in exactly the same way.

I lost my Grandma in December. She was awesome. She died as suddenly as an 87 year old woman can. Her funeral was arranged for just under a week later. Her funeral was to be officiated by the chaplain of the local hospice. She came across as lovely, if a bit easily confused when making arrangements.

I don't think I'd be giving away too much information if I told you my grandma's name was Grace, as that's the name of every other person's grandma. All was going well in the service when the chaplain suddenly changed her name to Alice. Ignoring several mutters and coughs until she was interrupted by someone and corrected.

The service went well otherwise, and we all decamped to a local pub to remember her.

This is where the music comes in. I began to notice that every person that was singing, humming or whistling was doing so with the same song.

"Cos for 25 years I've been living next door to Alice. Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?!"

Grandma would have loved it. Miss you x

Wow
Want to say that's brilliant, while at the same time feeling sorry for your loss.
But funny nonetheless - have a click
