If I got the choice of what song to play at my public execution I'd buck the trend and play a soothing melody. Perhaps this would prompt the masses to perceive me as something more and fight to rescue my life at the last moment. At the very least I'd certainly have a greater shot at martyrdom.
I'd go out with a massive bang, I'd tell people to kill me when this song reaches it's epic climax.
