What is the best way to die?

As morbid as this sounds, I'm curious as to what would be your ideal way to die.

I'm also curious as to what song you'd have playing as you die.

....

Let's also ignore how awkward this topic sounds.

Peacefully at an old age in bed? Saving the world or doing something meaningful? Something like that. Oh and this would have to be playing.

I shall be killed in a bizarre, highly unlikely, and never fully explained accident on a highly advanced research project. This piece will be playing.

In my sleep, although I doubt that's gonna happen. Preferably with as little pain as possible, anyway.

Song: Whatever won't wake me up, really. Sound of Silence should be good (the actual song, not silence). Or that one vaguely religious song because it sounds cool - I forget what it's called. Sweet Chariot?

I'd like to stand atop the empire state building tied to a nuke and heartbeat monitor. This would play, and as soon as the final lyrics cease, the nuke would detonate, causing the heartbeat monitor to be vaporised, which would trigger the detonation of thousands more nukes planted all over the world, transforming the Earth into nuclear wasteland filled with mutated aberrations (like your mom).

You win.

Well guys, looks like however we want to die, we'll just be a victim of the nukes. Unless somebody here wants to go down heroically trying to stop DC?

...

Will it actually happen at two minutes to midnight? And at what point, it's like a six minute song?

It'd start playing at six minutes to midnight, that's preferable to overrunning >.>

This could count as trying to stop DC.

I shall die while using a hoola hoop.

My theme song shall be Dingdong.

As for DC, I imagine him dying with Dead by MCR.

I will die with the rest of the world by a large asteroid crashing into the Earth. (Don't Fear) The Reaper will be playing. Everyone will be singing along! It will be great! =D

Dude.

Win.

Some possible alternative exit songs for me:
Dead to the World - Nightwish
Pull Me Under - Dream Theater
There's something else that I thought would be really awesome and naturally promptly forgot. I'll edit it in if I think of it.

I would like to know that I'm going to die a little before I actually die. So I can complete the little things I want to. Like, I would hate to die if I had some grand plans for the next day.

In a trench coat, with a katana in one hand and a gun in the other, fighting evil. Song: Hmmmm. Decide later

Yoouuu need to read the Dresden files. Since that's basically what those books are.

I expected this from you. And it's pretty win.

Nice choice on pull me under, Sent.

In my sleep would be nice, but in some great battle, or in a fighter cockpit meeting a hillside at several times r.
