Hymns are being replaced at funerals in one Australian city by popular rock classics like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," a cemetery manager said Wednesday.
Among other less conventional choices were "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by the Monty Python comedy team, "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," "Hit the Road Jack," "Another One Bites the Dust" and "I'll Sleep W
hen I'm Dead."

You would think they'd be satisfied with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down".

This is my current favorite Australian song ever.

"Highway To Hell" and "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead?" Like, ironically, or like they were really that unanimously disliked? I've never heard of a "yay, they're dead" funeral.

I can think of a lot of people that would consider it entirely appropriate and honorable to have "Highway To Hell" played at their funeral.

Like me when I was in the 7th grade, for example.
