O primeiro álbum dos Crash Test Dummies foi um sucesso na sua terra natal, o Canadá, mas teve pouca aceitação nos EUA e na Europa. No entanto, o trabalho seguinte, "God Shuffled His Feet", graças à produção do ex-Talking Head, Jerry Harrison, e ao single "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", tornou-se num sucesso à escala mundial. A história do grupo começa em 1990, quando Brad Roberts (vocalista) abandona os seus estudos em literatura e filosofia, e, com um grupo de amigos: Mitch Dorge (bateria)
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
At My Funeral - Crash Test Dummies transcribed by Stefano Serafin, [email protected]
I found a wrong version of this song in the archive, so I give my own. This is transcribed from a bootleg recording made when CTD came to Italy some years ago, so it might be a bit different from the original.

GCGD I'm still young, but I know my days are numbered CGEmD 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on GCGD But a time will come when these numbers have all ended CGEmD And all I've ever seen will be forgotten
CG Won't you come CGDEmCD To my funeral when my days are done CG Life's not long CGDEmCD And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round CDG As I am lowered into the ground
GCEmD
When my coffin is sealed and I'm safely six feet under Perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me When they pause to consider all my blunders I hope they won't be too quick to begrudge me
Won't you come To my funeral when my days are done Life's not long And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round As I am lowered into the ground
GCEmD
CGAmG/B If I should die before I wake up CGAmG/B I pray that the lord my soul will take but EmDCGAmD My body, my body, that's your job
I can't be sure where I'm headed after death To heaven to hell or beyond to the great vast But if I can I would like to meet my maker There's one or two things I'd sure like to ask
Won't you come To my funeral when my days are done Life's not long And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round As I am lowered into the ground
