Pretty hard core, never heard it before. I think if you'd ever been in that situation it would take on a lot more meaning.

I'm sure I was, second hand (you know that shit can kill) but it was probably Dancing Queen, Abba and some Kiss. Took till 74' before I got to heard this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A

The first movie death song that popped into my head was "Knocking on Heavens Door" in the movie "Pat Garret and Billy the Kid". It was the background as Slim Pickens died.

The next song that came up was "Timothy" by the Buoys.

"The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald" has always had a couple strong memories for me. I saw the ship while it was loading for it's last trip. Then I saw Gordon Lightfoot test the song to a small group of people in a coffee shop.
