Are you able to think about going to a funeral and listening to AC/DC’s “Freeway to Hell” come on within the background? It is a very humorous however darkish thought, however there is a funeral house that is really been requested to play it earlier than at memorial companies, together with songs by Led Zeppelin, Queen and extra.
Phaneuf is a New England-based funeral house and crematorium with a number of areas in New Hampshire and Vermont. Final summer season, they revealed an article about music playlists and which songs particularly they have been requested to play throughout memorial companies. Whereas classics together with Frank Sinatra’s “My Manner” and “Time to Say Goodbye” by Andrea Bocelli had been frequent contenders and nation playlists had been typically wished, there have been a couple of reasonably uncommon rock requests as nicely.
The funeral house accepts requests and curates playlists primarily based on the household of the deceased’s wishes. Up to now, they’ve had households who wished all Metallica, Rob Zombie and different metallic artists to be performed all through the service, in addition to The Grateful Useless. Contemplating some artists have cult-like followings, it is no shock {that a} mega-fan of any of them would have wished their music to play as their family members gathered in celebration of them.
“The music is so private and such an necessary component of the grieving course of, so we make no restrictions,” Phaneuf wrote.
Along with “Freeway to Hell,” particular songs which have been requested for embrace Queen’s “The Present Should Go On” and “One other One Bites the Mud,” Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and Bon Jovi’s “It is My Life” — humorous sufficient, a lyric within the refrain reads, “Like Frankie mentioned / I did it my approach,” a reference to Sinatra’s aforementioned tune.
Among the others are, er, reasonably disturbing, reminiscent of “Ding Dong the Witch Is Useless” from The Wizard of Oz, Ray Charles’ “Hit the Street Jack” and “I am Too Attractive” by Proper Mentioned Fred. We aren’t judging, there’s in all probability a humorous clarification behind these, however they had been actually a bit surprising to see up there at first.
We’re simply imagining a bunch of Munchkins singing “Ding Dong the Witch Is Useless” at a funeral now.
