10 Totally Inappropriate Songs To Play At Your Funeral

5. Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead! €“ Harold Arlen, E.Y. Harburg

The only funeral this song has probably been apt for is Margaret Thatcher's. If you're planning on slipping it into the CD player at your Mother-In Law's send-off, you're heading straight for a divorce. An easy error to make though: after all, it is on the same CD as funeral favourite, 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'. Oh, and if you really want to make every one in the church hate you, play the Glee version.

4. Countdown Theme Tune

Even just hearing this theme without a context is enough to send your heart rate sky high. Imagine the horror on your mourners faces as the famous clock starts ticking whilst you leave in a box. It's bloody terrifying.

3. Another One Bites The Dust €“ Queen

Awwwwkward. Euphemisms like 'passed away' and 'gone to Heaven' are used a lot to lighten the blow when someone dies; but Freddy Mercury's way of putting it is perhaps a little too crass. This one could also be used for weddings.
