Hello Everyone,
Yes...this is a tad morbid, but I work for a Hospice and I am trying together a funny little CD with songs about death for my staff. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Way

"Bigass Rock"! The Full Monty.
Well, it's a funny song about killing yourself, at least.

Posted: 12/13/04 at 2:31pm"Now" from Little Shop of Horrors, although that's more about killing the guy and the guy dies from laughing gas overdose and suffication, but it is really funny.

Maybe something from Urinetown:
"Snuff That Girl"
"Don't Be the Bunny"
"What is Urinetown?"
"Act 1 Finale"
"Why Did I Listen to That Man?"

I LOVE "Don't Be the Bunny". The tollbooth part cracks me up every time.
"All Fall Down" from Romance in Hard Times could work as a funny death song.
