If you could listen to one song before you die...

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - If you could listen to one song before you die... (Page 1 of 3)

What would it be?

I had a great time with my girlfriend last night. We're getting a little drunk and just talking about "stuff." I went to see "Black Hawk Down" last Saturday and I was talking about the scene where the Delta Guy was holding off the Somalies with an M-14. He died as he ran out of rounds.
Being the music major that she is, she was wondering at the last moment, what song that guy would of liked to hear?
Being the smart ass that I am, I told her he probably would of liked to hear a barrage of gunfire that would cut down the Somalies that are about to kill him.

So, what kind of music would you like to hear if you were in an impossible situation and it would be the last song you would hear?

I've always said if I knew I was going to die, and it was a slow one, like loss of blood or shock whatever, I would go out singing "knockin on heavens door".

It just fits the bill.

"I feel like I'm fixin' to die" by Country Joe and the Fish, if I'm dying for something stupid.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvanna if I am embracing this death.

"Polly Wolly Doodle" should cover remaining situations.

And they’ll continue singing it forever just because,

This is an easy one, My Way. When Sinatra would introduce the song as the national anthem I always thought it was arrogent but yet rings true. It seems to me that the message in the words of that song are what many of us want to believe about ourselves.

I want to hear the Star Spangled Banner, sung a capella, by every soldier, sailor, marine and airman (okay, throw in the Coast Guard, too), active duty, retired, regular or reserve, live in person from about 6 feet away. That way the clods on the other side can die with me.

If that can't be arranged, I want to hear the complete Ring Cycle on single-sided 78 rpm records, changed by a blind man with one hand, at 33 rpm, so as to take up as much time as possible.

"Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter seems like a great song to go out to.

I guess it depends on if you are going out in a hail of gunfire or bleeding to death slowly on the battlefield.
