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.

'Going on up to the spirit in the sky.. that's where I'm gonna go when I die.."

grin Eleaner Rigby! How depressing.
What about The Who and the Hope I Die Before I Get Old record?
Anything by Radiohead!

Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

A dear friend of mine wanted "Another one bites the dust" played at her funeral - her family refused to do it! (She had a great sense of humour as you can probably guess)

On a number of occasions I have sung with choirs and small groups at various venues, including residential homes and hospitals. On one occasion we were singing a madrigal that involved a repeated line "for dying souls" in a canon, and as we were singing this to a small ward full of those very dying souls I caught the eye of a tenor and we both realised how very inappropriate this was!
