Steely Dan's Only a Fool Would Say That.
Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.
This is a variation on the "Favorite song" (or Classical composition) choice, as this title should in some way be related to mortality. Can you tell I'm approaching the end of mine? For me the choice is obvious; imo one of the three greatest songs I've ever heard (the other two being "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" and "No Time To Cry"): "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher, recorded by The Beach Boys in 1965. Light years above what anyone else in Pop music (or even Classical and Jazz) was doing at the time (or has done since), including The gd Beatles.

The closing song from the movie Once Upon A Time In The West:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Q8h-fDfEI |
One of the Late Quartets by Beethoven, No.15 Opus 132 would be my choice performed by Quartetto Italiano. A truly sublime piece. It would actually have to be performed by them at the funeral service. I would expect nothing less from my family and friends to organize it, considering how much I've done for them. |
A lot of great song choices listed here. Here's another good one from Judith Durham and the Seekers. Remember "Georgy Girl"? This one is called "I'll never find another you". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmactMIhrRM |
