Nails In The Coffin-Jared James Nichols just cos it`s a fab song!

About 12 years back my Sister in laws husband died quite suddenly, at the funeral he was placed in the central isle, the service was absolutely perfect, beautiful hymns, his 3 kids all made fantastic tributes to him.

Then to close down the service didn’t he pick Steelers wheel - Stuck in the middle with you.

Well I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

I have never seen so many people looking around to see if it was acceptable to laugh, it’s was absolutely genius.

You’ll love it I’m sure! The first time I heard this version was actually on the finale of one of my favourite TV series Sons Of Anarchy x

@MsSubExperimenter Is Freebird still the Hells Angles Funeral song ? i would imagine it is as i don’t really see anything having replaced it.

@Blonde_Bunny just had a listen, it’s a pretty good cover version and I can see why you picked it for your funeral song! Obviously I missed out on hearing it before as I’ve never watched Sons Of Anarchy!

It may well be - he was a Hell’s Angel in Florida.

Molly Hatchett do a pretty good cover of it.
