I always said that if I get to the quadriplegic/tube-feeding/respirator state, that I want to build a big ramp down on Morey's Pier in Wildwood and get somebody to blast the 1812 Overture, and then take one last ride .....

"Laugh and be happy" by Sheriff John. Preferably sung by himself, if he's still alive and well up in Idaho. Which at the rate I'm going, might be quite doable.

The whole of Dickie Wagner's "Die Walkure" would be amusing, all 48 hours of it.

Laugh and be happy,
And the world will laugh with you,
When people see you smiling,
They can't help smiling too,
Get rid of worry,
In a hurry,
Chase the blues away (my favorite line),
And laugh and be happy,
All the live long day.

I have a 45rpm single of this, on the Imperial Records label.

Die Walkure is only a fourth of the Ring cycle. It's usually about four to five hours long.

It's called "hyperbole."

I envision chunks of rustic bread skewered on pseudo Viking horned helmets, dripping with Gruyère.
And lots of happy fat ladies.
