Most inappropriate hospital play list

Visiting hospital the other day and listening to hospital radio I heard in the course of a short period
The Boomtown Rats- I hate Mondays-"And the lesson today is how to die!"
and
The Beatles Eleanor Rigby-
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
I thought it was perhaps the most inappropriate playlist for a hospital BUT I'm sure that GNers could come up with something better. So please post your suggestions. I know it's black humour but sometimes that gets you through.

Oh thanks so much! What a laugh! Do you suppose we could have a CD specially for funerals and hospital radios?

A colleague of my husband had a black sense of humour and was a great fan of Johnny Cash. At his cremation, at his request, as the coffin went through the doors, they played ‘Ring of Fire’.
‘I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.’
Cue shocked laughter all round! But it was entirely appropriate for him.

"The first cut is the deepest" - can't remember what the song is called but my husband had this played for me when I was recovering from an operation
