George W. Bush Has His Funeral Song All Ready to Go and You Can Probably Sing Along
No one really wants to talk about death, but it’s the only way out of this world. Of course, we want to make the very best of every minute we have, and that might mean helping to make plans for our funerals. Sure, it might seem morbid, but helping out with those details could also take a lot of pressure off family and friends as they grieve. According to People, the topic came up during a recent episode of the Today Show, and George W. Bush has plans.
“This is a little morbid, but have you ever thought about a song you want played at your funeral? I have!” Savannah said, “It’s ‘Take It to the Limit’ by The Eagles. I love that song so much. That’s my funeral song.”

George W. Bush Has His Funeral Song Ready to Roll
Jenna Bush Hager said her dad, George W. Bush, has his funeral song already picked out.
“My dad has always had a funeral song, and it used to be [John Fogerty’s ‘Centerfield’]. ‘Put me in coach, I’m ready to… ‘ But now it’s ‘Oh, Happy Day!’ He wants that,” she said.
Yes, it’s the same Oh, Happy Day that Sister Mary Clarence taught the students at the failing St. Francis Academy in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. She got those kids to go from zero to hero in less than two hours, and we all started singing. It’s definitely the kind of song that evokes lots of emotion, and if you’re thinking about Whoopi Goldberg wearing a nun’s outfit, it might even make you smile.
We’re not sure, but that seems like something George W. Bush would like at his funeral. Sure, there is always an element of sadness in saying goodbye to those we love, but if they leave us smiling and fondly remembering them, it makes those experiences just a bit easier.
