Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You might look at recordings of "My Death," though I don't have a specific one to point to.
Ooh. I have a Bowie cover of that. Yeah, that might work.
And I never would have made that connection between "Seasons in the Sun" and "My Death".

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris I saw did the Seasons in the Sun song in French. It was the only song they did with no English.

You're welcome!
I just remembered that I had stopped listening to that album for years because I only had it in 128 kbps and was too lazy to find the CD. Which took less than five minutes.
(My playlist is in iCloud or whatever so it was using an AAC version.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So many death songs! Murder ballads alone take up a serious chunk of my collection.
Let's see, notable "death" titles:
O Death - Ralph Stanley (used in O'Brother - same song as Camper Van, but better/scarier)
Country Death Song - Violent Femmes
Death by Misadventure - Ted Nugent (about Brian Jones)
Justice Delives Its Death - Sufjan Stevens
Death of a Disco Dancer - The Smiths
Slow Death - Flamin' Groovies
Needle of Death - Bert Jansch
Death is Hanging Over Me - Nikki Sudden
Goodnight Dr. Death - My Chem Romance
Creeping Death - Metallica
The Death of Ferdinand de Saussaure - Magnetic Fields
The Girl on Death Row - Sanford Clark (also Duane Eddy. Great creepy song)
Death of a Clown - Kinks
Death Trip - Iggy and Stooges
He Dines Out On Death - Cristina
Art of Dying - George Harrison
In My Time of Dying - Blind Willie Johnson
See That My Grave Is Swept Clean - Blind Lemon Jefferson (also a great rocking cover by Thelonius Monster I have, available upon request)
Dumb Ways To Die - Tangerine Kitty

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Goodnight Dr. Death - My Chem Romance
FYI, this is a spoken word piece from the character Dr. Death-Defying, and then goes into the Star Spangled Banner. So, possibly not what you're looking for.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm guessing it is really not. I skip it on pretty much all shuffles.

Ann, that's a ferret.
French tune, English lyrics -- how about "My Way"? ("And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.") Many versions to choose from, starting with Frank Sinatra and Sid Vicious.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Another Sinatra song with some similarities is It Was A Very Good Year.
Another one: Now I'm Easy, by Eric Bogle.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
The first two that come to mind, which I hope will be played at my funeral:
And When I Die -- Laura Nyro
When I Go -- Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer
