When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it referred to the song which you would never ever want to hear again.
ha ha I've got a few of those.
But, for a tune I would love to fade out to...mmm..maybe Jonathan Richman's Tag Game; a song which brings me total unadulterated joy, and which would remind me that life is about art and play.
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been, Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene; As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be, So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.
I think we have a thread about songs to play if you had 10 minutes left to live, and I believe I posted the very appropriate "How To Disappear Completely" by Radiohead. But since that didn't fill out the 10 (yeah, I know, since it's "technically" a different thread, I shouldn't do this), I'd add any Beatles song under three minutes. That's about a hundred great ones!
"Naked Woman, Naked Man Where did you get that nice sun tan?"

"Dignified and Old" by the Modern Lovers would be a nice pick as well.

"This is my main concern with Obama; what if he has been groomed since childhood to blend in with the zionists and infidels? What if he has been led along by a radical islamic terrorist organization and positioned to become an influential politician?
What if Obama gets into White House and turns out to be some crazy muslim terrorist? What do we do then? We'll be pretty screwed. It could happen." -- by some fucking nutjob

I was going to pick that, so, how about "I will follow you.." by Death Cab.

Good one. I'd go with a different song from the same album though:
Radiohead - "Motion Picture Soundtrack"

Most of the choices seem to be a bit mournful, I'm going to die, I may as well make it memorable. Go out in a blaze of glory with 17 hookers, a bucket of vodka, a midget serving cocaine and some loud as hell Led Zepplin. That's decadence.
Or relaxing at home when I'm 92 with God Only Knows

That's fantastic. How about charging into battle to Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War"?
If I had a choice, like Edward G. Robinson had in Soylent Green, I'd probably pick Holst's Planets: Jupiter. That would make me happy. Otherwise, something more modernistically-cool, like "How Soon Is Now?" by the Smiths!!
Of course, that's in addition to my earlier comment. My friends and family will be fighting to extend my worthless life, so maybe I can have all of 'em.
