Worst Songs to Play at a Funeral
I grew up in a funeral home. I've accidentally played loud music many times during wakes, for which my father would come upstairs to yell at me, at least once a week. I actually have a sample base to compare data. Yes, this one is the worst since I've done it.
Dad: "Of all the damn songs, you pick that one? They're STILL talking about it. They want some money back. They think you did it on purpose."
Yep. Truth. He almost made me go down and apologize. This one wins.
Let's face it, the only thing AC/DC sings about is crime, sex, and hell. None of these things should be mentioned at a funeral whatsoever. This applies to all their songs, but this one in particular would be the most tasteless of them all.
Get this to #1. The title basically tells you why you shouldn't play it at a funeral.
Definitely not something to sing at a funeral.
Honestly, this list made me laugh so hard, especially all the happy songs.
What are we celebrating? Are we happy the person is dead?
I would play this when someone I know dies. Just kidding.
Why would you play THIS song?! You'd get the stink-eye and then get thrown into a coffin yourself!
I can just picture the look on my family's face when they hear this playing at my funeral.
Haha! The song is really great but as the title suggests, don't ever play it at a funeral.
The last song anyone should play at a funeral. If you like Queen, there are better songs to play.
Just the bass line playing low in the background...
Under no circumstances EVER play this song at a funeral. You'll need a funeral after the family is done with you.
Why not play the music video on the side of the coffin while you're at it?
What a song to play at a funeral.
Inappropriate for a funeral. Maybe for a celebration if someone's back on their feet.
That would be so offensive.
You're happy that person died?
Just imagining the last Bee Gee standing over the graves of the others singing along to this. Poor bugger.
It would be ironic yet actually true because everyone attending the funeral would be stayin' alive.
Just imagine if this was around during the Salem Witch trials. That would be bad.
Self-explanatory.
Why exactly is it the best day of everyone's life?
I'm so happy you're dead. It's the best day of my life!
Don't fear the reaper, Buck!
I got one less problem without you. No.
Oh my, now that would be funny.
Funny because it's true.
Oh my gosh, someone will do this.
Any song that can be taken as badmouthing its subject fits on this list.
Shot through the heart and you're to blame...
You give Death a bad name. - Gehenna
Just kidding, I'm dead. Lol.
I hope your grandma isn't at a funeral playing this...
Who in their right mind would play this?
Trust me, there's gonna be another person and another casket after this...
Almost as bad as Highway to Hell in terms of worst funeral songs. AC/DC is a good band, but don't play their songs at funerals.
I mean, obviously it's bad if it includes anything to do with hell or excitement about a person's death. I mean, look at Highway to Hell.
Oh my God... just imagine this.
This song should not be played under any circumstances.
Especially if that person died on a Friday.
What if that death was on a Friday?
Good song but a bad one to play at a funeral, especially all the parts after the second chorus.
Who would even dare to play this? It's a good song but not at a funeral. Whoever plays that at a funeral is an idiot.
It would put the fun in funeral.
I hate this song, and I hate it even more now!
Oh my God! This... at a funeral?!?!
Who'd play this at a funeral?
No Cannibal Corpse song would be suitable for a funeral.
