Get Physical Records have asked several well known DJs to think about the last song to be played on their deathbed or at their funeral. The tracklist of "Final Song #1" is certainly more interesting to read than to listen to.
There is everything from Eric Satie to the Beach Boys, Radiohead, Eno, the Stranglers to Drum n´Bass and someone even wants to hear a self penned piece (royalties!).
Here is the full tracklist:
01. Erik Satie - 1. Gymnopédie (Selected by DJ T.)
02. Rob Gallagher - Little One (Selected by Gilles Peterson)
03. Photek - Modus Operandi (Selected by Storm)
04. The Stranglers - Golden Brown (Selected by DJ Hell)
05. Cerrone - Supernature (Selected by Kevin Saunderson)
06. Radiohead - Sit Down Stand Up (Selected by Laurent Garnier)
07. Chloé - Paradise (Selected by Chloé)
08. The Beach Boys - 'Til I Die (Selected by David Holmes)
09. Peggy Lee - Is That All There Is? (Selected by Ewan Pearson)
10. Inti Illimani - Caramba, Yo Soy Dueno del Baron (Selected by Ricardo Villalobos)
11. Link - Amenity (Selected by Richie Hawtin)
12. Pharoah Sanders - Astral Travelling (Selected by Francois K)
13. Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) (Selected by Coldcut)
Read the full article at Resident Advisor and check the Comments for some more ideas (It doesn´t take long until someone brings up Burial but apparently nobody wants to listen to "Bela Lugosi is dead").
My choice is not included. After some brief consideration I´d go with Chic´s "Good Times". I think this song is a good answer for everything!
