At my mother's, the song was "Travelin' Light" by Billie Holiday.

I would go for something bluesy by Dinah Washington.

Mozart's "Requiem," though it would have to be performed live and that would be costly. If I never make it to the big-time, maybe just a recording of Gundula Janowitz/Karajan doing Vier Letzte Lieder.

Doors, The End. Everyone gets a glass of Wiser's Best to sip and toast with at the end.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

I've had this funeral fantasy in my head for a while now. The funeral would happen next to a ditch, and all the mourners would be given sticks. A dump truck would slowly back up, making that "beep! beep!" sound, and then dump my bloated cadaver into the ditch. Then a basketball official would announce, "Let the poking commence!" and everyone would gather round to poke my corpse with their sticks. The official would blow his whistle, and everyone would leave in awkward silence to the tune of "Spanish Flea."

Piper goes without saying for me

I want Massacre at Glencoe or Lament for the Children. Then a fiddler to do Lament For King George IV.
