Did you know? #2: Top 10 songs not to play at a funeral

Just as there are songs that remind us of great moments in life, there are others that... let's just say they don't exactly enlighten us about death. That's right. A funeral is a moment of grief where people mourn their dearly departed: a serious situation in need for serious behavior. The following list contains the Top 10 songs not to play at a funeral, deemed less appropiate for this kind of event:

1. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
2. Ding Dong The With Is Dead (from The Wizard of Oz)
3. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!
4. I Wanna Live Forever - Bon Jovi
5. I Touch Myself - Divinyls
6. Another One Bites The Dust - Queen
7. I Wanna Piss On You - GG Allin
8. I Can't Live - Mariah Carey
9. Highway To Hell - AC/DC
10. Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

I think most of these songs (if not all) are self-explanatory as to why they're terrible picks for a funeral march. Other than a poor music selection for the event, certain behaviors and actions may be deemed inappropriate during this kind of ceremony. Nevertheless, culturally speaking there are major gaps between funeral traditions around the world. Cremations, graveyard burials, bone-turning, mortuary rituals, processions and other traditions differ in several countries. Learn about some fascinating funeral traditions following this link.

Yikes! Chinese and Taiwanese hire funeral strippers to honor the dead.

Anyway, playing respectable music during a funeral service seems to be a constant agreement for most people. Here are 5 other songs that didn't make it into the top 10 but still are amongst the worst:

1. I Fucking Hate You - Godsmack
2. Bodies - Drowning Pool
3. Congratulations - Cliff Richard
4. Cold As Ice - Foreigner
5. Dead On Arrival - Fall Out Boy

PS: If you pick Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, don't forget to bring a complimentary broom to bury with the corpse. (Just kidding)
