Susan Boyle Desires To Have A Happy Funeral  Susan Boyle |
Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle would like to leave mourners laughing at her funeral by requesting novelty tune Nellie The Elephant as one of her farewell songs.
The star doesn't want her memorial to be a morbid affair, and will request organisers blast out the fun Ralph Butler track about a curious circus elephant to make her loved-ones giggle.
Boyle revealed she got the idea from British comic Peter Sellers, who asked for big band number In ‘The Mood’ to play at his funeral even though he hated the song.
Susan Boyle quoted, "You've got to leave them laughing. It would have to be Nellie The Elephant. She packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus.”
She added, "Funerals don't have to be sad Peter Sellers made me smile with In The Mood, so I could do it with Nellie The Elephant."
