YouTube - Honest Graduation Song

 

[noreun]

Best Time of Our Lives- Greenday

Urgh. It works, but it's overplayed.

 

[meilz92]

gives you hell- all american rejects

 

[meilz92]

fuck you very much- lily allen

especially the line "cause we hate what you do, and we hate your whole crew so please dont stay in touch"

 

[meilz92]

as we go on
we remember
all the times we
had together
and as our lives change
come whatever
we will still be
frens forever

 

[Chemical Ali]

Best Time of Our Lives- Greenday

Urgh. It works, but it's overplayed.

the fact that the song is actually called "good riddance" while being played at so many graduations and (bogan) funerals is an epic troll by green day

Best Time of Our Lives- Greenday

Urgh. It works, but it's overplayed.

You mean "time of your life"?
That song is definitely overplayed.

Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

YES!!!

Good Riddence was also played at my High School Graduation.

I suggest "At The Bottom Of Everything" by Bright Eyes.

beautiful day - u2
the scientist - coldplay (played at ours)

[killer-cupcakes]

Unwritten-Natasha Bedingfeild (maybe a bit cliche)
Say Goodbye-BoDeans
Time to pretend-MGMT
YouTube - Class of 2010 Graduation RAP Song (Thought it was catchy)
...Damn I'm getting emotional over this, I thought I couldn't wait to leave school, and now I am just like, "I don't wanna leave"

Napalm Death - Nazi Punks Fuck Off

this one pretty good but i think mine is better (personal taste)

 

[Little R Ribbon]

a really good sarcastic one that i was going to propose to myt school was:

Am i ever going to see your face again (with the response) No way fuck off!

but memories by David Guetta

play on what?

Don't do something gay.

Do something really cool, there'll be heaps of other sad, nostalgic shit, be metal.

If you can't be HEAPS metal and do something by: Metallica, Deep Purple (child in time omg), Blind Guradian (the Bard's song), Bon Jovi, DIO, Iron Maiden, Led Zep, The who (baba o'reily)

THEN do something by like Bruce Springsteen (atlantic city or thunder road, UM YES) or Johnny cash (hurt) or... Foo Fighters, PINK FLOYD (time- dark side of the moon, track 4), Journey (don't stop believin' or Wheel in the sky), Even Missy Higgins has some good shit (sugar cane, Night minds, anything from sound of white except scar and special two),

OR be funny and play a part of 'another brick in the wall' by pink floyd, or 'catholic girls' by frank zappa... (probably not though cos it's rude)

Fuck, man. Just be different. Be memorable. Don't be that guy that 'played some sad song at grad... but i forget which one'

BE METAL

 

[kfnmpah]

Fuck, man. If you play "Shine on you Crazy Diamond", parts 1-5 i will come to wherever you are, shake your hand and like... eat my hat or something.
