LONDON (Reuters) - Robbie Williams has topped the UK funeral music chart, leaving Mozart trailing in his wake, according to a survey Thursday.
Williams' "Angels" was the record most Britons would like played at their funeral, with Mozart's "Requiem" coming in at five in digital broadcaster Music Choice's poll of top 10 British funeral songs.
Frank Sinatra's "My Way" was second, just ahead of Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life."
The rest of Europe favored a more soft rock approach.
Queen's "The Show Must Go On" topped the European chart, with Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" in second and third place.
Over 45,000 music fans from across Europe were polled, with 20,000 Britons taking part.
I'd rather have the Texas Tech Fight Song played.........
I vote for SPIRIT IN THE SKY.
I want this one to be played at mine.

Where did you get that thing - I especially liked the old school Star Trek insignia.
Super! I want Miles Davis' 'So What'.

That's kinda like the car wreck thing... it was bad but I felt I needed to watch the rest of it.
I've made it know that I want "Louie Louie played at my funeral.
Well, you better hope the Reincarnation Fairy gives you a very big garage too.
And a giant bottle of mustard.
My gran opted for "We'll Meet Again" by Dame Vera Lynn.

It was Vera Lynn's rendition that was used in the closing scene of "Dr. Strangelove". No one ever did that song any better than she.
At my old parish, they sang a song called "Open Up the Boxes" at the guitar mass...
I've been to a few Guitar Masses and never heard that one. What boxes were they referencing? Confessional Boxes? Coffins?
Maybe the Poor Boxes? LOL!
I seem to recall it was something about opening your soul.
Kumbayah.
