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!
There will be no saying of cocksucker to Nilly! It's just nor right!
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.
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.
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.

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.
At my funeral I want them to play "Milkshake" as performed by the Jingle Cats.

The most corruption I got from b.org was learning to say that I'm so vanilla that the other ice-creams callibrate themselves according to me. No worries.
Religious Jewish funerals are pretty strict in content, with no singing. I couldn't share the names of the songs in some of the non-strict funerals I attended, because they're all Hebrew songs none of you would probably be able to recognize.
Wait, that list is the songs that people would want at their own funerals, right? That makes the jackassery better, somehow.
