Every morning without fail, the boss bounds into work bellowing "WHAT'S TRENDING?!" Usually the duty to respond befalls on Catherine. Alas, she's not here today. So imagine my joy when I saw #InappropriateFuneralSongs was the top trending topic in Ireland. Yep, getting more feedback than Jedward coming third in Celebrity Big Brother, Paul McGrath, or Talk Talk, we have people giving it socks over #InappropriateFuneralSongs.
Here's a few of them doing the rounds (and, yes, those who know me, the timing of this is hilariously #Inappropriate ;-) we have I Will Survive from @Evil_Dumbledore. This has been retweeted 100+ times thus far. Another winner apparently is Sympathy for The Devil. As is Bring it Back from Moloko, Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night (BEP), Oh Happy Day, Another One Bites The Dust, Staying Alive, I Will Survive, N*Sync's Bye Bye Bye, JLS' Beat Again, and my favourite so far, The Macarena. Followed by Eminem's I Need a Doctor.
There are some questionable ones (If You're Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands); those very close to the bone (I Hate Myself and I Want to Die, Nirvana); and a rake load about breathing, like Don't Hold Your Breath (Nicole Scherzinger), Breathe (Taylor Swift), Take My Breath Away (Berlin) and No Air (Jordin Sparks featuring F***nuts)
Then this post from @jogblog struck a chord: "With all this #inappropriatefuneralsongs going on, I thought I'd say that my mate had '2 Kool 2 B 4-Gotten' at hers. Very appropriate."
That nearly made me cry. So keeping with the #Appropriate theme, I'm going to fling mine out there - I want Tom Vek's I Ain't Saying My Goodbyes blasting at my cremation (it must be a cremation - coffins and their contents really don't sit well with me, particularly when they're housing the limbs of those who used to cuddle you. Oh and I want that particular song 'cause I plan to haunt people). I know the fellah wants Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill... I'd be very grateful if you could share yours below - inappropriate or otherwise.
C'mon, you're probably hungover after cheeky 'Thirsty Thursday' pints last night and feel like death anyway. SPILL!
