Unconventional funeral songs
As a last act of defiance, this man subverts many social conventions, praises people who are despised by "decent" people, and leaves with a bitter consideration about how death is really a lonely matter, regardless of how we might delude ourselves about it.
This dying man wants no splendor nor hypocrisy for his funeral. He’s already at peace with himself and doesn't need all that nonsense.
The singer wants a happy funeral: no dying of sorrow (pena), just dying for his kind of music (plena).

I've got a good one. A classic song from the Wizard of Oz called Ding Dong the Witch is Dead (I think I got the title correct) anyway if this song was to be sung or played at a funeral I would laugh xD.
There is another Brassens song which would fit well here: Grandpère (https://lyricstranslate.com/en/georges-brassens-grand-père-lyrics.html) .
Then there is his Tu t'en iras les pieds devants (https://lyricstranslate.com/en/georges-brassens-tu-ten-iras-les-pieds-de..., which my also be a good fit.
What about Les funérailles d'antan ?
Would Piaf fit in with les deux ménétriers? https://lyricstranslate.com/en/edith-piaf-les-deux-ménétriers-lyrics.html ?
(Or https://lyricstranslate.com/en/les-deux-mhttps://lyricstranslate.com/en/... if you prefer to have a translation as well as the original).
Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gee's?
Would Thriller be unfitting?

Probably can find a couple even more disrespectful ones later.
