My all-time top ten lists

A lot of people it seems have lists of songs they’d like to have in specific situations: On a desert isle, during a make-out session, after a break-up, or the songs they’d listen to on their iPod if they worked as a landscaper for the city of Peoria, Illinois. (My number one on that list is “Material Girl”)

Here’s my list of songs I want to be played at my funeral:

That home recording I made of myself singing Chuck Berry’s “My Ding a-ling”
The Cantina Song from Star Wars
Arthur’s Theme (The Best That You Can Do) – Christopher Cross
Wait (The Whisper Song) – Ying Yang Twins
Parents Just Don’t Understand – DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
Peter Brady singing “Time to Change”
40 minutes of chatter from the air traffic control tower at Chanute Air Force Base, Rantoul, Illinois.
