A Song I Would Like Played At My Funeral

That would be easy: "Lucky Man," by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Not because I consider myself lucky in any way (if I were to go in that direction, Cream's "Born Under a Bad Sign" would probably be more appropriate), nor because I think I the words are deep or evocative (Greg Lake did write the song when he was twelve, after all), but because I would love to be sent off with Keith Emerson's Moog synthesizer solo that comes at the end of the song. In fact, perhaps instead of playing the whole song, someone could just put that solo on a tape loop and just play it endlessly.
