Elvis's version is "ok"
I AM a big punk fan but J.R should have been beaten for that rendition. This is Frank's song pure and simple.

I showed the wife my choice and she said it was too depressing so I had to come up with another one.

Oingo Boingo - It's a Dead Man's Party


This is more me anyway since I told the wife if I go first I'll do my best to hang around,watch over her and then we can go to wherever together.

Come Back As A Flower - by - Stevie Wonder, from the Album "Secret Life of Plants" (1979)
Lead vocals by Syreeta Wright.

I first heard this song back in 1983. And I thought. This is a funeral song. Its gonna be my funeral song.

A SONG FOR YOU - Leon Russell & Friends (1971)

Leon Russell & Friends 1971
(PBS) KCET Studios - Los Angeles

That's one TV concert I've remembered fondly my entire life!
fell in love with Claudia Linnear watching it... :D
(Here in CT. I saw it on channel 24 which was our PBS station)

chronologically this fits between Mad Dogs & Englishmen &
Leon's performance at the Concert For Bangladesh -

It was also the first national (simulcast) "stereo" rock-and-roll
TV broadcast , btw~ (w/KPPC-FM)

My response won't answer the initial question, but during my life I have often thought if I had the chance to listen to music as I left this mortal coil, what would it be? Sometimes I think it would be the guitar of Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Stevie Ray Vaughan or John Michael Talbot. Would it be Bach? I have so many favorites maybe I should make a "death compilation" to be played while I breathe my last.  ;)

I hadn't heard this tune for years and then I heard it around eight years ago and started to cry, it was that beautiful and sad .. I love it.

First choice.  Because it fits with one favorite saying of mine.  "Live while you're alive and when you're dead, be done with it."

I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead (Home Demo)

Second choice.  Because "No cryin' at My funeral dammit!

The Cramps - Surfin Dead


Third choice.   I SAID: No cryin' and I meant it!
Return of The Living Dead - Dead Beat Dance


I also intend to have my funeral catered by my local pub, O'Doherity's

And for that, a special musical request:
The Dubliners- Finnegan's Wake


Dropkick Murphys - "Finnegans Wake"

Either version will do.

I remeber this  song/rhyme from when i was a kid. and when i was a teenager the ACCUSED did their version of it and i loved it, I wish they would have done their own video for it though. it has always stuck with me and i find myself whistling it quite often. and my kids all know the tune. i dont think anyone who knows me would be suprised to hear this at my funeral. i think i might have to do both versions though. maybe one at the begining and one at the end.
