Where is My Mind - Pixies

Motzart's requiem or Paint it black by the Rolling stones.
BTW, neat idea fo a thread.

I'd have to say the grooviest marley song is so much trouble in the world. I can see it now. I'd be lying in a field somewhere away from all the sappy people crying cause they're going to die, and I'd just stare at the sky and enjoy the tunes. That would rule....except for everyone's eventual destruction.

So much trouble in the world now
So much trouble in the world now

Bless my eyes this morning
Jah sun is on the rise once again
The way Earthly things are going
Anything can happen

You see men sailing on their ego trips
Blast off on their space ship
Million miles from reality
No care for you, no care for me

So much trouble in the world now
So much trouble in the world now
All you got to do is give a little
Give a little, give a little
One more time YE-A-H! YE-AH!

So you think you have found the solution
But it's just another illusion
So before you check out your tide
Don't leave another cornerstone
Standing there behind
We've got to face the day
Ooh-we come what may
We the street people talking
We the people struggling

Now they are sitting on a time bomb
Now I know the time has come
What goes on up is coming on down
Goes around and comes around

So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
So much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble
There is so much trouble in the world
There is so much trouble in the world

Song for End
 

OK, so the world's about to end, and you get to choose which song everyone on earth gets to hear before they die. Just imagine the music would be echoing through the skies, all movie like. What song would you choose?

jeez that's a tough one
i have seriously been sitting here for 10 minutes going through all the songs I know, and I can't think of the perfect one.

It would have to me one that is not only a treat for the ears but also sentimental to provide some consolation for the tragedy, but not sad... inspiring.

Every time i think of one i immediately rule it out... too heavy... too sad... too corny... too short... too aloof... too plain... too angry...

crap the decision is too hard. I decide to leave people with the sounds of their own thoughts and their goodbyes.

"So What", Miles Davis.

'Barbie Girl' - by Aqua

Or

'The Chicken Song' - by the cast of Spitting Image

Hendrix with Voodoo Child

I just asked all my family and the answers were:
Mum: That's easy Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve.
Dad: Hmm... Maybe Here Comes Your Man by the Pixies. It would be hilarious if God sang lead on that one, or maybe The Diamond Sea by Sonic Youth, it's lovely and 16 minutes long, personally I 'm not in a rush to die.
Brother: Song 2 by Blur. [for the americans and others it's the one that goes WHOOHOO!!]

actually, all of britney spear's songs, in which case everybody would kill themselves, and it would save them the grief of the apocalypse..

Same. I'm such a Ninny! lol.

"It's the End of the world as we know it," --Don't know who sung that

Anything from the early Ramones and from the later albums: "I don't wanna grow up" written by Tom Waits. I forgot the name of the album.

But if it is to be Bob Marley, it's got to be 'Wake up and live'!

Or maybe 'Exodus'

That song from the last Roots Manuva album with the refrain that goes 'Burn, Babylon, burn!'

Thats a easy one, The song "The End" by the Doors.

LOL I was gonna write that one in also. I have it at the end of an Iron Maiden video and it plays during the credits.

"and life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true... you'll see it's all a show keep 'em laughing as you go.. just remember that the last laugh is on you ! "

That's a good choice indeed.
PS Lliromannic: you have one hip family.... my dad would probably pick some neil diamond (not bad) my mom would pick some Bette Middler (BAH), and my sister would pick whatever lame-o trash flavour of the week pop/r&b is new.

Hmmmmm maybe joey ramone's rendition of "it's a wonderful world"
i'll select that as my tentative choice.

As a substitute, borderlining a little too sappy, i'll pick "goodbye to romance" by the ozz-man.

I think Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" would be nice and solem, fitting for the occasion.

In The End by Linkin Park
