Suggestion.

Please don't play amazing grace. Not having been particularly amazing or graceful thus-far, it seems a shame to start fabricating those sorts of rumors when there's no way to dispel them. Instead play something suitable for drinking and screwing and fighting by. And there should be dancing damn-it, and drinking, and carousing, and all kinds of debauchery... It doesn't matter if it's for joy or sorrow... There should be all manner of raucous entertainment. A right proper send off. And if I get there first I'll organize such a welcome, and if you get there first you can do the same. But either way there should be dancing. The sad songs are for later. With close friends and old comrades. When the party has died down, or a week, or a year, or a decade after. But please don't play amazing grace.
