Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for September 03, 2023

I know that feeling

At my funeral I want someone to sing Hocus Pocus by Focus.

For R.J.‘s funeral "I’ll be glad when you’re gone, you rascal you".

Verne, forget ‘Keep Me in Your Heart’, just play ’Werewolves of London ’.

Would R.J. play the song on his clarinet if Verne dies first?

“Keep Me in You Heart” Warren Zevon

“The Ark” Gerry Rafferty

“Roy Rogers” Elton John

Mine should be one by Leo Sayer.

“Freebird”, til all the mourners (both of them) walk out.

Murder, in all three degrees at once.

I want “Turn the World Around” to be played at my funeral.

My mother wants Black Betty by spider bait and We Will Rock You by Queen played at her funeral

ever since I have heard that song, I want it for my funeral too

I want Ashokan Farewell played… won’t be a dry eye in the house.

I had (somewhat) thought of “And When I Die” by Blood Sweat and Tears but I doubt that would happen.

This reminds me that I should finish writing my own obituary. It starts, “To the delight of thousands, if not millions….”

Old and Wise, Allen Parsons.

my funeral will have “Stayin’ Alive” blasting

Same as my wedding – “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”

I’m surprised Jimmy Buffett died before Warren Buffett

One of Zevon’s best.

My funeral: “Steam – Nah nah hey hey, kiss him goodbye”

The “It’s MY song” types (who didn’t write the song) drive me nuts.

Toward the end of the funeral ceremony, have “Pop Goes The Weasel” played over and over until all eyes are on the casket.

Actually, I don’t want a funeral. I just want to be cremated, and my cremains scattered in two locations. I’d allow my wife to have a small urn with a portion of my cremains.

“And in the end, the Love you take, is equal to the Love,you make!”

Yes!

cha cha slide

Yodeling, yes. Singing, not so much. No lyrics. Takes me back to my college days. I think :)

I believe Jimmy Buffett will have Lawyers Guns and Money played at his funeral. He appreciated Zevon
