The song you will forever associate with your Leaving Cert

5 days of study for the last exam.
22nd of June, 2011: Economics.
Finish in good time. Walk home, earphones in..
BAM!

Talk about feeling like a motherf*cking champion. I'll never forget that walk home. I could have stopped a speeding car with my bare hands

I totally ruined A Lack Of Colour by Death Cab For Cutie for myself.

Just listened to it there to check and yep, it still brings back awful memories of coming home from last year's geography exam... :eek: Transatlanticism suffered a similar fate.

Gotta Have You by The Weepies was a song someone linked in a music thread just before the exams last year which I liked and proceeded to listen to a lot too...again, slightly ruined.

Payphone is more associated with summer and waiting for results to me though, so not too bad.

Has to be Get Lucky, that was over played to death around that time.

Some I remember studying often to.

Vito Corleone · 10-08-2013 4:27pm

I must be the only person who hates Get Lucky. Such an incredibly boring song.

Jebus. The song that reminds me of the LC is 'I'm free' by The Soupdragons.

I'm old. I did the 'inter cert' too. Before ye were born!

LC will soon be a distant memory for ye. Life flies by. Make the most of it!

+1 here! I do recall though it became a gag at the time when we were doing all nighters before exams yeno, "up all night to get lucky" :pac:

In my darkest hours of 6th year I'd listen to All Time Low- Therapy, and bawl my eyes out (HL maths I'm looking at you).

+2.

I said it on twitter once, the reaction was equivalent to letting off a loud fart in mass and everyone staring at you like this

Alive by Pearl Jam, always felt the chorus was fitting after a long exam!

Vito Corleone · 10-08-2013 4:59pm

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons is another song that was played a lot around the time.

I only heard that song for the first time the other day! :P

Eathrin · 10-08-2013 5:33pm

I was listening to a lot of Ceol and Rí-rá CD's.

I wish that song was around the time of my Leaving Cert!!

MRnotlob606 · 10-08-2013 5:38pm

only finished this year, our grad song was let her go, but the her was changed to him as it was an all boys secondary school

Corvo Attano · 10-08-2013 8:05pm

I played this one when leaving the school on the last exam.

spurious · 10-08-2013 8:10pm

Don't really remember thinking about it at the time, but the number one when I did my Leaving was 'Suicide is painless', the M.A.S.H. theme - cheery stuff.

Corvo Attano · 10-08-2013 8:13pm

That is just unfortunate.

Amprodude · 10-08-2013 8:13pm

50 cent - In the Club
R kelly - Ignition

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT-The message behind the song (Youre a good girl/I iknow you want it, sounds like something some psycho rapist would say to his victim), the video, and ESPECIALLY THE BIG FRICKIN BRIGHT RED "'#THICKE" through out the video!!!!!! THAT, THAT, THAT, JUST UGHHHHHHH

# Should only be used when displaying a number and used in Venn diagrams, wouldn't mind it as much if it was the THICKE (It would still annoy me a bit) its the freaking hashtag, I hate it when people say things like hashtag awakward or hashtag delighted irl, or outside of tw!tter. To use it in a music video is subliminal messaging "Talk about me on tw!tter/face book, get the word out about this song" and encouraging its use irl and I cant STAND IT

IT DRIVES ME FRICKIN MENTAL

ARGHHHHHHHHHH

It's a serious tune I think, if you hate that video watch the unrated version which got kicked off of YouTube :pac:

Who cares about the story the song is telling, it's a good song!

Now if you want strange lyrics, I think 212 could be the song to listen to :P

Corvo Attano · 10-08-2013 9:10pm

Try Guilty Conscience by Eminem for strange lyrics. That is story telling.

I am not denying its a catchy tune, its repetitiveness is most likely a factor

I just hate it all though

YoursSincerely · 11-08-2013 3:18am

Basically both of Funs albums - some nights and aim and ignite, in particular the songs be calm and the gambler, I literally used to sing be calm when I was freaking out it was great

shitloads of Florence + The Machine honestly sums up my listening habits approaching the LC

While I don't have an LC song, this song was the first one I played after finishing the JC and did the exact same thing leaving Applied Maths:

avenged sevenfold - a little piece of heaven
A song about a guy that proposed to a girl who said no, so he stabbed her 50 times and ate her heart, then raped her dead body. :-]
Oh then she turned into a zombie, killed him, and together they killed everyone else...

The song you will forever associate with your Leaving Cert
