That's DEATH
Although I've read a lot of Discworld novels, I've never played any of the Discworld games that existed in the 1990s; I watched Let's Plays of two of them, though, and thought that the theme song from the second one was spot-on:
Whoever managed to enlist Eric Idle as the voice actor for Rincewind - the protagonist of both games, and the singer here, obviously - deserves a medal, too. Here's the lyrics, BTW:
There's a place you're always welcome
That's as nice as it can be
Everyone can get in
'Cause it's absolutely free!
That's Death
No need to take a breath
Just lay around all day
With not a single bill to pay
Hooray!
That's Death
No more sicknesses or flu
If you lived beyond your means
You can die beyond them too
Boo hoo!
Well the greatest and the finest
Mmm, have already died
Why not simply join them
On the other side?
That's Death
Say farewell to all your bills
Rip up all your wills
And pop your final pills
Amen!
That's Death
It's a tête-à-tête with fate
If you're not feeling great
Then it's the best way to lose weight
Mate!
Nothing here to hurt you
No one's here to nag
Come die with me
If your life's a drag!
That's Death (That's Death!)
The wealthy and well-bred
All of them are here
And they're all completely dead (So dead!)
That's Death (That's Death!)
No more headaches, no more pain
Of the millions who died
No one came back to complain! (Nuh-huh!)
You can't take it with you
You can't keep what you've got
So why not just lie back
And simply rot? (That's Death!)
Just simply rot! (That's Death!)
It's so cool, it's hot! (That's Death!)
That's Death!
I really like the sentiment, too - of all the things in life, the only one that's certain is that we will die, all of us, without exception.
And it will happen sooner rather than later, so we'd best make the best of the couple of years we have left. Stop taking life so seriously, for you'll never get out of it alive.
And don't fear death, either, but rather welcome him as an old pal who's finally catching up with you. There's nothing bad about dying, it's part of the natural world. See death as an opportunity to move on to whatever lies beyond; and it must be something good, for as the song says, noone's ever come back to complain, right?
And while you're still here, remember death and honor the dead. Remind yourself of your mortality, but also enjoy the fact that you're still alive. Life is a vacation, really; it eventually has to end, but that just means you shouldn't waste any time enjoying it.
I'm also thinking that it would be nice if we embraced death more as a society and, say, started taking up the custom of celebrating the Day of the Dead the way that Mexicans apparently do. I don't see it happening here, and it would be kinda pointless to do it on your own when most others are unlikely to even have heard of it, but still.
