Aside from a song, I'd have a sign on my coffin that said: (shamelessly stolen from Spike Milligan)

"I told you I was ill"
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”

"Another One Bites the Dust."

I fully intend to be cremated, have my ashes dumped somewhere, and the urn smashed. I find the practice of being buried and people visiting my rotting corpse macabe. I'd rather they remember me as the spiteful asshole I was in life, not as 12 sq feet of sod with a headstone.

*ahem* see, I told you I couldn't believe it... :runs:

Anyway, I think my own pick would have to be this.

I considered Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust".

But really there's only one choice.

I think I'll have to stick with the Blood, Sweat, and Tears track. It seems fitting... "just bundle up my coffin, 'cause it's cold way down there."

"Dream on" Aerosmith.

"I did it my way" Frank Sinatra.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
