giZmo - Passes By. I uploaded it cause you're not gonna find this anywhere on torrent, the band broke up before releasing their debut.
Anyway I think it would do reasonably well as a graduation song, has suitable lyrics and manages to be both mournful, inspirational and fun.

My graduation song was Steely Dan's "My Old School". It's not exactly what you want to be conveying on graduation, but it's a riot to have your friends play it on the stage much to the chagrin of the principal and deans.

I never really figured out how the whole "Grade Point Average" thingy worked....

I don't understand the weighted grades communist bullshit. It honestly doesn't make sense.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #54 on:** 13 Mar 2006, 15:58 »

Hey, my GPA is like, dependent on weighted classes. My unweighted GPA is shit. Then again, if it weren't for weighted grades I'd just be taking the easy classes and sleeping through them, so whatever.

If you guys think "Good Riddance" is bad, then you would have hated my grad. They wouldn't have the good taste to pick that song. Instead, we went with the infinitely crappy "Ce n'est qu'un debut, ce n'est jamais finit", which I'm sure is some schlock produced by Star Academie, the Quebecois version of Canadian Idol.

how about "Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight" by the Misfits, that song discusses school.

"singled out the kids who are mean to me get straight a's but they still make fun i don't give a, i'll laugh last stayed in every night do my homework so i'll be smart "

It's been hells of a long time.

I think it was Vitamin C - Graduation or Eve 6 - Here's To The Night. Maybe both.

Do you know what's actually a really good song? "Graduate" by Third Eye Blind. I know you may be skeptical, but just give it a listen, I swear.

YES!

3EB is actually a really good band. I got sick of them when 3EB first came out, because it was hells of overplayed. Last summer I picked it up again when the new album came out and listened to it, and it's pretty damn good.

Okay It's been About 3 years, and now My graduation is coming up.

Holy crap, this existed back during the first time I was on the board! The quotes didn't even link back to the original post back then (I knew that was new-ish)! I still agree with my original suggestion:

Quote from: Bastardous Bassist on 10 Mar 2006, 22:24

I'd go with Alice Cooper's "School's Out." Yes, it's overplayed, but I don't hear it much, because I pretty much only listen to my music, and I don't even have that song. That's why it'd be my choice.

The Duke · « **Reply #63 on:** 07 Oct 2009, 13:41 »

My vote goes to Springsteen.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #64 on:** 07 Oct 2009, 13:49 »

Thunder Road

My class said "fuck you, recorded music" and had a dude in our class write an original song. Not that it was a work of art, but it's pretty cool to know that we have a completely original class song that nobody else will ever have.

Yeahhhhh.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #66 on:** 07 Oct 2009, 14:49 »

Liz, if you link us to the song we could ruin that for you?

I think my class song was 'Satisfaction' by Benni Bennasi. I'm not sure. That or some Beatles song.

Thinking about it, it was probably the Beatles song.

Liz · « **Reply #67 on:** 07 Oct 2009, 15:19 »

I can't link it, it never got recorded and I only ever heard it two or three times.

Man I am so fucking HIP.
