Pop Tunes for Boomer Funerals

From “Don’t Fear the Reaper” to “Another One Bites the Dust”

Monty Python’s Always Look On The Bright Side of Life recently beat out Frank Sinatra’s My Way as the song most people choose to have played at their funerals.

I’m guessing that we Boomers can take credit for this.

I recently asked my Facebook pals to help me put together a Boomer Funeral Play List.

“What song,” I asked, “would you like to check out to?”

Here’s what they came up with:

Another One Bites The Dust.

Don’t Fear The Reaper.

Only The Good Die Young.

Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.

Stairway to Heaven

Highway to Hell

Sympathy for the Devil.

It’s The End Of The World As We Know It

Up, Up and Away

Stayin’ Alive.

Don’t Stop Me Now.

In My Life.

Hello, Goodbye

Dust in the Wind.

Light My Fire. (For folks who plan to be cremated.)
