Def Leppard vokalist Joe Elliott ble nylig intervjuet og blant annet spurt om hvilket låt han ønsker skal bli spilt i sin egen begravelse
Intervjuet ble gjennomført av Kylie Olssons og er iflg. Blabbermouth publisert i podcasten «Music And Me» på iTunes. I intervjuer svarer Elliott på spørsmålet om hvilken sang han ville ha spilt på sin begravelse: «Well, I’ve already written it in my will that I want ‘Anthem’ by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band»
«`All The Young Dudes’, of course, by Mott The Hoople»
«And probably «Rest in Peace» by Mott The Hoople» which is an obvious choice»
«I can even record my own version by that song and make them play me to do it. Yes, just play my own funeral. It has been exaggerated to play things [as Monty Python is «always watching the bright side of life» because it’s done. But I’ll probably throw in an ironic song that will make them which is sniffing burst in laughter. I have to throw something mad inside, I do not know what it is yet. But ‘Dudes’ and ‘Anthem’ because they are big and they sound like … Well, ‘Dudes’ is heard not like a death day, but ‘Anthem’ by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band has the drum roll and the piano and then the bagpipes come in and take you out It’s almost like a New Year’s Eve song; it is very scottish. And it sounds like a great song to see that my ashes blow away in the distance – hopefully for quite a few years».
