I think most people who love music know who wrote it and have sought out the original Nine Inch Nails version but the video that goes with Johnny Cash's take on it does it for most people. It's impact was so great as it came at the end of his life and is more emotionally charged because of it.

The original version isn't always the best/definitive version. All Along The Watchtower, Twist and Shout, Tainted Love... I'd put Cash's version of Hurt in the same bracket.


Oh, and Elvis Costello's version of What's so Funny About Peace Love and Understanding. It's a whole other thread, I guess. Just don't mention Puff Daddy!

Or Lemmings:-


Out of control, out of control:

Greasy machinery slides on the rails,

Young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled....

Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones:

Iron-throated monsters are forcing our screams,

Mind and machinery box-press the dreams.

...but there still is time...

You're a long time dead.. 20 Mins is not too much to ask.

I don't want a funeral but they'll probably do as they like (family motto 'No one cares what you think') so I'll go for


The dance of the knights from Romeo and Juliet as they come in, to set the tone.


Then maybe the Johnny Cash version of Hurt, or maybe Back to Black by Amy Winehouse.


Then as the coffin slides away, Ace of Spades ny Motorhead.

And Rachmaninov's piano concerto no.2. That should sort them out.


(Edited because I can't see what I'm doing on this effing phone.)

Are we just thinking in terms of music?


Surely a video compilation of hilarious events captured throughout ones life, a la YBF or Rude Tube, and ending in a freeze frame of self in mawkish pose while Jane McDonald does a cover of All Kinds Of Everything.


Feck 'em - if I'm stiff as a board then I want everyone else bored stiff.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
