What was your high school graduation song, if you had one?
Brought to you by the fact I was listening to Jimmy Buffet "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw" in the car this morning. It's what we voted for, but it was rejected by the administration (shocking). We compromised with "Volcano" instead.
I don't know if we had a graduation song, but our prom song was Just Like Heaven, by the Cure. 1996.
eta - now that I think about it, I think we did have a graduation song, and it was These Are Days by 10,000 Maniacs, and we also had a song for all of our parents played at graduation - Kind and Generous by Natalie Merchant.
Our class song was Photograph by Nickelback hahahahaha. I know a bunch of people lobbied hard for Keg in the Closet by Kenny Chesney but the administration shot that down pretty quick.
Here's to the Night by Eve 6. Us and every other graduating class of 2003, lol.
I was 2001, but I was about to answer the same! (At least I remember it getting a lot of radio play my senior year..) Maybe ours was that Vitamin C "Friends Forever" song?

I was a senior in 1998 and our school was the only school in maybe American to not choose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic for prom. I am not familiar with the idea of a graduation song. I can't remember what we chose. It was something older I think?
Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry (?) was a prom song, although I don't remember if it was sophomore, junior or senior. I graduated at the height of the sugar pop Britney/Christina/N'Sync revolution so we listened to lots of crappy music in high school.
Oh! We also picked Time After a Time for I think a senior dance but had a long assembly about which version to use (Cindi Lauper or some other hip hop version that came out circa 2000).
