I'm aghast that someone would pick I've Had the Time of My Life as a song to play at a funeral. Haven't the poor mourners suffered enough?

And I would have welcomed her heartily.
She would be so much better at it than me, too. She could actually learn something, not just have fun.

Also, to bring things full circle, last night I noticed that Zach Whedon (Joss' brother, right?) was listed in the credits as an assistant to David Milch. (Everyone else probably knows this already.)
News to me. Nifty. Must be a tough job, given Milch's penchant for last minute changes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, popping in to say that I just found out that this video was shot at the rink I roller skate at. [link]
The rink does not usually have the neon tubes lining the walls, due to the fact that they would KILL YOU if you crashed into them, but other than that, it's the same. Go, Moonlight Rollerway!

Mea culpa. I hope I haven't corrupted/offended too much.

I really, really can't imagine any of those songs at a funeral. Well, except Requiem.
But I'm really one to talk since we had Yellow Rose of Texas played at my grandpa's funeral. Which made no sense to anyone out of the loop. He wasn't a Texan, nor had any special soft spot for roses. He just really, really, really liked that song.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The last two funerals I went to with music focussed on "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye" which now gets me so badly I choke up just typing the title.
Might be a black thing, or an American thing, but I'd consider it a pretty obvious choice.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
We had Danny Boy played at my (very Irish) grandfather's graveside service. By a bagpiper.
If there had been any dry eyes left before he started playing, there damn well weren't afterward.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"It's So Hard To Say Goodbye" which now gets me so badly I choke up just typing the title.

Those two and "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes will get me every single time.

"With Or Without You" is where I had to stifle my horrified laughter.
