#24: A Song You Want Played at Your Funeral

It doesn't really fit, but this was the first death-based song to spring to mind and it's not as if anybody is going to dispute it anyway. I chose the Bad Seeds version over the original for two reasons: Dylan's evasive at best on Youtube and the original lacks the incongruity and eclectisim of its cover: Nick, Kylie, Shane Macgowan - surely all tastes and bases are covered here, therefore making it perfect for a people-y event like, well, a funeral. Anyway, I babble - I cease - you enjoy. (Sort of).



EDIT: Obviously I should have gone with Lay Me Low instead. Duh.
