Last Day Of High School, Need A Song...

edited May 2007 in Other Music
So, tomorrow is my last day of high school. On Fridays, we play music in the hallway and I'm in charge of it. I've got all the music lined up for tomorrow except I have one slot open, and can't think of anything. Any ideas? I'm looking for a classic song that everyone knows and loves, but is also about having a good time, leaving somebody, etc. (We've got Take It Easy, Fight For Your Right, Mary Jane's Last Dance, Shook Me All Night Long...).

    You could be incredibly cliche and go with Alice Cooper - Schools Out

    slightly cheesy yet appropriate:
    alice coopers- schools out
    pink floyd- another brick in the wall
    Charlotte 00
    Charlotte 03
    Asheville 04
    Atlanta 12
    Greenville 16, Columbia 16
    Seattle 18 
    Nashville 22

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I've heard Float On in a similar situation recently. It worked well.

    He could probably play it 3 times to equal the length of one other song

    If I could, think I would give in.

    Whoa hardass, settle down. I love The Ramones, I was stating pretty much exactly what I said, that he could play it 3 times.

    You got that right, it's so hard you could bounce quarters off of it.
    Personally, I wouldn't want to hear it 3 times in a row. I just
    thought it was an appropriate song.

    When You're in Prison - The Offspring
    Helter Skelter - The Beatles
    Aces High - Iron Maiden
    Mr. Brownstone - Guns n Roses
    Dirty Little Thing - Velvet Revolver
    Go - Pearl Jam
    Lost Cause - Beck

    Fuck em.

    Play something equivalent to a black rap denouncing the white race. That might be interesting.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
