    My dad's got 6 months to live and he's been saying for years that he wants 'Like a bat out of *' played at his funeral. Hope I can convince the lunatic otherwise.

    Go for it, it'll bring a bit of humour to an otherwise sad time.

    I actually think that is class mate. I think you should respect his wishes.

    Keep the chin up mate and really sorry for you and your family in this difficult time :shamrock:

    I think you have to go with it mate, you would regret it if you don't, sorry your having to go through such heartbreaking times, we went through it with my father in law 5 yrs ago as cancer took him, so hard to watch people you love slip away, be strong mate

    I think it's harder to take the losing of a parent or any relative knowing in advance that they have a terminal illness.

    I would urge that their last wishes be respected though and you cherish every moment they have left with you.

    Jeez mate, thats hard to bear.All the best to you all.




    For my own part, i grew up playing this on my ma's old record player as a wean.....not really knowing anything about it until later years when i realised she bought it because it reminded her of her own father who was lost to ww2 when she was a wean.It came back loud and clear this year at her funeral;

    I haven't lost a parent but the song 'the old man' is quite an emotional one. Celtic thunder do a good cover.
