My wife has told me she wants Rule the World by Take That. I will probably go for Whiter Shade of Pale by Procal Harem (nothing to do with the lyrics, which are confusing at best, but I just like it).

Tell her, if she wants Take That, you aren’t going ;-)

Definitely Last Will and Testament by Jake Thackray (the North's answer to Jacques Brel, the man was a genius)

Your rosebuds are numbered;
Gather them now for rosebuds' sake.
And if your hands aren't too encumbered
Gather a bud or two for Jake.

He also did possibly the greatest song about a rapist cock in existence:

He was a fine upstanding bantam cock
So brisk and stiff and spry
With a springy step and a jaunty plume
And a purposeful look in his eye
In his little black laughing eye there was

I took him to the coop and introduced him to
Me seventeen wild eyed hens
He upped and he tupped as a hero tups
He bowed to them all and then
He upped and he tupped 'em all again

And then upon the peace of me ducks and me geese
He rudely did intrude
With a glazed eye and open mouth
They bore him with fortitude
And a little bit of gratitude

He jumped me giggling guinea fowl
He thrust his attentions upon
Me twenty hysterical turkeys and
A visiting migrant swan
And the bantam thundered on

He ravaged me fan tailed pigeon and
Me lily white columbine
And as I was locking up me budgerigar
He jumped me parrot from behind
Who was sitting on me shoulder at the time

Then all of a sudden with a gasp and a wheeze
He clasped his wings to his head
Lay flat on the ground with his feet in the air
Me bantam cock lay dead
And the vultures circled overhead they did

What a noble bird, what a champion cock
What a way to live and to die
I was digging him a grave to save his bones
From the hungry buzzards in the sky
When the bantam opened up a sly little eye

He gave me a wink and a terrible grin
The way that rapists do
He said you see them big daft buggers up there
They'll be down in a minute or two
They'll be down in a minute or two

It’s written in my Will that I’ll have Abide With Me at my funeral.

It just so happens that my Will was last written when we’d just got to the 1990 FA Cup Final.

As they bring me in, I want this played

I want this played, as the box disappears down to the big furnace

Also I would like someone to come in a couple of minutes after family, friends etc, and take a seat at the back dressed like this...

You're asking me what it's all about, and I can't tell you because I don't know what's going on myself.
