I'm lovin "Another Brick in the Wall". But doubtful my class will vote for it, bunch of spa's that they are. Unless I manage to get them listen to it all...ie "teachers leave those kids alone". Which is also doubtful, short attension spans and all.

Woo Woo Woo! Radiohead. Thanks to me, we're playing street spirit by radiohead. It's the only one i could get them to agree to . I never thought of doing airbag, but i'll suggest that on moday. heh heh heh

A friend of mine has promised me that if some person attempts to play "Good Riddance" at the end of the year, the guitar/cd is getting pulverised, and rightfully so, in my eyes.
Of course, the obvious suggestions are there. You know the type, really heavy and confrontational titles. Obvious is nice sometimes, so in the last few days of school I'll be listening to the Icarus Line's "Up against the wall motherf*ckers" for a bit of a giggle.
However, I am a sentimental soul, so a lot of Mogwai, Godspeed..., Silver Mt. Zion, Explosions in the Sky, Elbow and sigur rós will no doubt be listened to, reminiscing about people throwing up, being pushed on to piles of bags, falling over, breaking bones, being egged and looking silly.
Oh oh, first Leaving Cert tear...

We got my way but one of our students sang it so was changed to "our way"

think "mexico" by mundy might be good!

Kold

I'd like Eric Cartman singing "Come Sail Away" by styx from the Chef Aid album. That would so rock

pigeonbutler

As far as I've heard ours will be:

Fields of Gold - The Police
Every Breath You Take- Ditto
Whatever - Oasis (I love that song!!)
But unfortunately the inevitable Good Riddance will be there too.

hmm,my school didnt get a graduation ceremony,we destroyed our principal the day before with eggs and flour and a few of us streaked(that wasnt my ass i swear!)so she wouldnt let us,we still had the after party tho

Agent Smith

people who pick good Riddance for a graduation song deserve to be shot....






that is all

Scarinae

In my school its 'Perfect Day' by Lou Reed, and '(I've Had) The Time of my Life' from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack... How random is that...?

Jammer

Counting Crows - Hangin Around
Greenday - Good Riddence (with Basket case halfway thru)
Beatles - Let it be (Beefed up, light distortion, 2 guitars..drums etc)
??? - Lean on me

Bunch of us have been in a band since 3rd year, so we're performing them. Doin a musical medley too, consisting of;

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Yawn) - Nirvana
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
Like I Love You - Justin timberlake
HArdest Button to Button - White Stripes

Chinafoot

i didnt go to my graduation but i can only imagine what the song was!!! pack of losers......its was probably a scooter song or that mark mccabe thing......maniac.

but if i had to choose mine.....it would be....

*Schools Out by alice cooper

orangerooster

We had some damned good songs ready to go but of course the bitchie section took over and now we have

Graduation Song-Vitamin C(dear god!)
Crazy World-Aslan(CHRIST!)

and of course no ****ty grad mass soundtrack would be complete without-<drum roll please>-
Good Ridance/Time of our lives-Green day(choke!)
So all those with taste will bring some noisemaking implement to wreck the ceremony.I hate my class.

Agent Smith

i've heard "thank you for the day's: by kirsty McCall being mentioned on friday...

not a bad song

sceptre

None of my class thought Monty Python's Accountancy Shanty just might be a good idea.

Seraphina

my class did a redition of 'survive' except instead of i will survive, it was i wont revise. i thought it was pretty amusing, all about not studying and failing.

How about "Time Of Your Life" by Green Day? That's the song we had for leaving school.

Lyrics:

"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind.
Hang it on the shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life "

How come you dont fall down more?

Oriel

How come I don't do what now?

orangerooster

Oh Greenday thats not a cliché at all. :rolleyes:

Suaimhneach

Oasis, even though I'm not a fan of theirs, the song Whatever is quite good.

Goes like this

"cuz I'm freeee to do whatever I want whatever i choose"

So good principle.

$lattman

I want them to play "Still Dre" and "The Next Episode" but the idiots running it said they wouln't be suitable in a church! Spas! The teacher organising it said we couldn't play "Black Betty" coz it's racist!

How original

country_gurl

We had time of ur life in 4th graduation... when it was still kinda original. Hopefully Final Countdown will be chosen. As i'm quite happy to leaving as most of my year are stuck up bitches but once again the "main" people will get what they want and people will bow to their every wish and command... so we'll prob have stand by me when in fact i never want to stand 90% of them again.

We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown...

We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
