Just in time to save me from another day with no post, Blondie has tagged me for a meme. I’ve actually addressed this question in meme context before and not had an answer, but I’ll take a more serious stab at it this time.
Top Five Songs I Want Played Over My Dead Body:
- "Independent Women" by Destiny’s Child. I know, kind of out of left field for a hard rocker, but I think it sums up many of my attitudes toward life rather nicely.
- "Happy Birthday" by "Weird Al" Yankovic. An upbeat song about how we’re all going to die.
- "We Will All Go Together When We Go" by Tom Lehrer. Same as above.
- "Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With" by King Crimson. I really like the song and there’s a positive message in there somewhere.
- "Live Wire" by Motley Crue. Just to freak everybody out.
It was very tempting to include "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, but I’ve left it off out of respect for the guests.
My songs were chosen primarily to try to keep people from crying. How can you cry and "throw your hands up at me" at the same time? I posit that you cannot.
I’m not going to tag anyone, but feel free to keep this going if you’re stuck for ideas this week!
