We all joke about what song we’ll play at our funerals… I’ve even asked you what yours would be on the Breakfast Lab.
And usually, when people talk about their funeral song, they have a bit of a laugh and choose songs that completely take away the seriousness of losing someone!
Turns out, some people aren’t joking with the songs they choose!
Co-Op Funeral Care in the UK has released the weirdest songs people have asked to be sent off with, and I won’t lie… some SUPER strange ones out there!
And you know what… while traditional funeral goers (if that’s a thing) may call these songs disrespectful, I can’t help but have some admiration for someone giving us one last laugh before heading to the great gig in the sky..
Right, here’s the Top 10 songs requested by people to be played once they kicked the bucket! And my emoji reaction to each one…
Ten: 21 Seconds – So Solid Crew
Nine: Highway to Hell – ACDC 🤘
Eight: Firestarter – Prodigy
Seven: Shipping Forecast Theme
Six: Countdown Theme Tune
Five: Dance Monkey – Tones and I
Four: Jaws – Movie Theme
Three: Gangnam Style – Psy
Two: Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead – The Wizard of Oz
One: We Like To Party – Venga Boys
If someone plays Venga Boys at my funeral, I’m coming back and haunting them…
I’m a little disappointed that Queen – Another One Bites the Dust didn’t crack the Top 10!
