farewell song
#11
When we arranged my step father's funeral back in 2017 my eldest daughter and I chose as the closing piece a song that he often sang in the month's just before he died.
I can't remember the name of the artist but from the 50's 'Cigareetes and whisky and wild wild women. Don't think the pastor was too amused.

As for myself I would chose between two:- Knights in white satin (Moodies) or The Parting Glass sung be Celtic Woman.

Hopefully neither of them will be needed in the foreseeable future.
Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.

This is an absolute banger, and would hopefully be a compromise between those who'd want a hymn and those who'd want, y'know, actual music.

Cracking stuff, Ska'd. I've got a few things like that which would do the trick.
In fact, if I put down all the things I'd want to go out to they'd be bringing me in and out like a jack-in-the-box, for about 3 hours.
Somewhere in it, of course, would be The Lord's my Shepherd, done in proper Hawthorns style. I always struggle to sing it 'respectably' these days.

Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy.

(Sorry BaggieVicar. The song is not about what you might think it is)

Cruelty to animals. But my bitch often deserved it when she was a puppy.

Throw a bit of Enya into the mix and it's a deal.

Not on here often now ......

Footballing interest is zero and sinking fast, that's not to say I don't still love the Albion but all the bias, dodgy decisions, sky sports, premier league closed shop etc, I can't be doing with it.
Nearly fifty years a baggie ain't gonna change ...... Coyb.

But couldn't resist this thread,

Two songs,
During the service ..... Knock, knock, knock on wood
On leaving, as a loyal Albion sheep.... the Lord is my shepherd

Alternatively ..... I fell into a burning ring of fire, on my naughty days Whistle
Or ....... As a retired 999 front line worker now working for the NHS, a double good egg and public hero Thumb up , how about the other way, stairway to heaven Angel Doh
