suanie was great, kthxbai
So Boris Yeltsin died and Russia prepares to bury him. The only connection between that piece of news and today’s blog post is the funeral; even then it’s an obscure link.
I was talking with Serena on some things lost, and had the brilliant idea of listing songs for my funeral. I am pretty sure I’ve done it already, but everyone needs an update once a while, especially if s/he is still alive and there is time to change. For example, if I had listed any of Spice Girls’ songs for my funeral, I don’t want to die anytime soon before I can rewrite the list.
For the few of you reading this blog, I wouldn’t be alive to enjoy my funeral anyway, so you don’t really have to bother. But if you insist, well here’s how I want it to go (since it’s my funeral and I ought to have a say in it, don’t I?)
Assuming that my body was found after I’m dead (you never know when crime hits), I want to be cremated ASAP. That’s right; burn baby burn as soon as my organs have been removed to hopefully help other not-so-dead people. No lying in a coffin for 3 days, no coffin either. Just bundle my corpse with a mat and dump me into the fire; keep the ashes if you want to, but I’d rather you not do that. You can however play some Buddhist chants during my cremation. Not sure how it would help but maybe just for whatever faith left (I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to come back and tell you if it worked).
Also, my most prized possession is my laptop. Hence I want it totally and utterly destroyed along with my corpse. Nobody touches my laptop, EVAR.
Then there is the party, to be held at the last residence I stayed in. Bring your own food and booze. Make sure there’s a lot of KFC original fried chicken and Hoegaarden. No blue cheese allowed.
As for decoration, I don’t really care, as long as there are blown-up photos of me when I looked my best. That would be when I was 15 years old, ask my mother for the photos.
By the way, should I reach glorious heights at my death, Mawisux is definitely not invited to the party. Dream on, bitch.
Make as many speeches and eulogies you want, but make sure you punctuate them with “SUANIE WAS GREAT, KTHXBAI!!!!!”
Now for the most important part — the song list. No bubblegum pop, no Celine Dion, no Beyonce, definitely no rap. To save your time on song selection, here’s what I demand at my after-death party:
01. Enchantment by Yanni
02. Playtime by Yanni
03. When You Were Young by The Killers
04. How To Save A Life by The Fray
05. The Freshman by Verve Pipe

09. Snow by Red Hot Chili Peppers
10. Run by Snow Patrol
11. The World I Know by Collective Soul
12. Heartbeats by Jose Gonzales
13. Somewhere Only We Know by Keane
14. Run To The Water by Live
15. Come To My Window by Melissa Etheridge
16. Havana Moonlight by Spyro Gyra
17. All The Things That I’ve Done by The Killers
18. A Design For Life by Manic Street Preachers
19. In The Closet by Michael Jackson
20. Starlight by Muse

At my Cremation, ‘Burning Down the House’, by Talking Heads, and everyone has to bring marshmellows on sticks!
If I had the option, my funeral song would be “Welcome to the Black Parade” by MCR.
05. The Freshman – Verve Pipe
08. My Friends – Red Hot Chilli Peppers
18. A Design For Life – Manic Street Preachers
21. Champagne Supernova – Oasis
22. Imitation of Life – REM
23. Come As You Are – Nirvana
These are my favorite songs. Cool, when you feel like dying, don’t hesitate to contact me, we can die together-gather
To add a few more songs:
Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve
Good Riddance – Green Day
Nice Guy Finish Last – Green Day
Ha Ha You’re Dead – Green Day
Light My Fire – The Doors
Welcome to the Jungle – GnR
How to Disappear Completely – Radiohead
Live Forever – Oasis
Is it ok if we just drink through the Yanni?
I would choose “Funeral For A Friend” by Elton John, if I could. It’s a very nice piano piece.
Now, the party idea is a good one
makes a funeral less morbid (if possible..)
Mine would be ‘I Make Love To You’ by Boyz 2 Men and ‘Can I Touch You There’ by Michael Bolton.
Oh, and there has to be a neon sign pointing at my corpse while those two songs were playing, for the sake of making everything even more tasteless. All casket bearers have to be scantily clad women.
Mine’s definitely Michael Jackson’s Thriller! Hahahaha!
Off the list, I love:
05. The Freshman by Verve Pipe
10. Run by Snow Patrol
11. The World I Know by Collective Soul
19. In The Closet by Michael Jackson
20. Starlight by Muse
24. It’s Alright by Supergrass

Well at least you know about Spyro Gyra…NOBODY I met the last 10 years knows about Spyro Gyra
east 17?! what?!
You Irish ah? Die already so jolly-jolly one…
I have been thinking about the song “Hymn” by Ultravox lately, and since you bring up the subject, you know, it might actually work for a deathday ‘celebration’. Anyway, if you have never heard it before you may want to check it out.. it’s an early eighties tune but it sticks with you..
it’s good that your list doesn’t clichedly has songs that sings about death and life and stuff.
=) 90s baby!
I’d get Tubthumping by Chumbawamba to be played just as the priest does the last rites.
And I’ll make sure there’s a little lever thing which will push my corpse up in the middle of the song and just scare everyone shitless.
I can just see it now..
Priest: He was a unrepentant alco…. OH EMM EFF GEE, HE GOT UP, THAT SONG IS FROM SATAN I TELL YEWWWWWWW!!
:p
Hold a rehearsal funeral. So that we can all come and party
Justin: I loved them
EastMalaysian: I know those songs, but i don’t necessarily want them played at the party
no one around me knows of spyro gyra either until i forced them to listen to their tunes 
lishun: just for memory’s sake!!
suertes: what for want to be so sad??
S: well now that you mentioned it, some of the songs are pretty sad. but i chose them cos i like them, and not necessarily reflect on my life bla bla whatever
where’s your list??
iesnek: remember the glow in the dark stars
mingsy: but you are not in the country…
