do you have a theme song? asks the el presidento of the would-be writers guild. i wish i did. i am sure i could. but it would take some time and research. which i will do. some day. and although i do not have a "theme song", i have been keeping a tentative list of songs i would like sung at my funeral. here are a few (i have not decided the order yet--and the list is not complete):
- "Perhaps Love" a John Denver song. Before he died, i wanted him to come sing it along with Placido Domingo. I bet it would be great live.
- "Livin' on a Prayer" but only if Bon Jovi will come and sing it personally--i think he would. he seems like a really great guy (i saw him on oprah once)
- Handel's "Water Music" played by some philharmonic orchestra
- "It's a Wonderful World" could you please find someone to sing it who has a "louis" voice?
- "I Could Have Danced All Night" from "My Fair Lady"
- "Lonely Goatheard" from "The Sound of Music". I would prefer this to be a sing-along--i LOVE yodeling!
wouldn't that be a great funeral? i hope you all will come...one day far far into the future.

i LOVE your selections and i definitely hope i'm still alive for your funeral, because i do a mean "lonenly goatherd"! lady-oh-da-lee-oh-lay!
You forgot a couple of songs that always make me think of you. Maybe they fit more in the "theme song" category than the funeral, but . . .
"Dancing Queen" by ABBA - because of that day we scarred your poor children for life when we sang it at the top of our lungs driving home from the Sandy City production of the Wizard of Oz.
AND
"Like a Virgin" by Madonna - because you used to say that was the song you wanted played on your wedding night : )
oh, and perhaps one more:
"Bad to the Bone" sung opera style just to annoy everyone around you!
