Let's go back in time...

[MarmeeNoir]

My class was another '03 Here's To The Night, but I didn't graduate.

My 6th grade graduation song was I Believe I Can Fly by R Kelly.

[ginandjucie24]

Imagine by John Lennon.
Class of 1997.

Ours was vitamin C -graduation. This June will be ten years out...I know that might not seem a lot to some but I can't believe its been that long.

Lol this was ours, too, but I graduated 14 years ago.

Prom was K-Ci and JoJo "All my life" I think

[snorky]

True colors by Cindy Lauper. We graduated in 2000....

Mine is the best, unilaterally.

I want to say Boys II Men, End of the Road, but that was released in June and we graduated in May, so that can't be right.

Maybe Boys II Men It's so Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday?

Ours (1992) was End of the Road & the 1991 class used Hard To Say Goodbye so I always get confused as to which was ours. I just looked at Wikipedia to confirm which single was released first.

Another "These Are the Days" by 10,000 Maniacs, don't recall a prom song.

20 bloody years this year

We did graduate in 1992, so maybe End of the Road was out in time!

[lauralala]

Stevie Ray Vaughan Life by the Drop, 1992.

[Alyssa]

Green Day's "Time of Your Life" was played a lot, along with Vitamin C's "Graduation"

[alexithymia]

Class of 2004. It was SUPPOSED to be "With a Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker, but our student council couldn't be bothered to look up the actual name of the song, so it was listed on our graduation announcements as "The Wonder Years Theme Song." -_-

And then we ended up singing the Beatles' version during the ceremony anyway.

Stay classy, class of 2004.

[malibu]

I have no idea. I barely remember graduation. I didn't go to prom. Class of '98, but I don't remember it being any of the songs in the previous posts. I was probably high.

[shadyblue42]

"Time" by Pink Floyd - 2001

[Deleted]

Another Brick in the Wall, Pink Floyd. Class of '96

And we had tie dye t-shirts made with everyone's name in bricks and the bricks forming a 96

So not original.

Third Eye Blind- How It's Going to Be

A classmate died by driving under the influence our junior year. It was actually 8 years ago today (yay 4/20) that he died. Apparently a few weeks prior to his death he had told a friend that he wanted that song played at his funeral and it basically became Joey's song in our town.

A few months later we were picking our graduation song and walla.

[gault]

I think we had Lifehouse, hanging by a moment.

[lostlenore]

Ours was Into the Great Wide Open by Tom Petty. It was 1997.

I hate that I can remember stupid shit like this but I can't remember things that I actually need to know on a daily basis.

[karmasabiotch]

I'm an old so it was I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2. The results were always under suspicion though since most people had said that they voted for Never Say Goodbye by Bon Jovi. It was a big scandal to go along with our big hair. I voted for the Bon Jovi song.

[tamaries]

Our graduation song (Class of 1997) was Small Town by John Cougar Mellencamp. Our whole town only had like 1500 people so it made sense. I don't remember our senior prom song - it was picked by the juniors, but our Junior Prom song was Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith.

[YahYahs]

Freebird, in 1998. We thought we were so original.

[penelope]

Goodbye to Romance by Ozzy is what was playing as they handed out diplomas. I don't remember what the senior girls sang.

[joshlyman]

Another Green Day, Good Riddance here (2001)

[chimera]

Free Bird but Lynard Skynyrd in 2002. We were rebels.

Ours too 2000. Oddly it was my college roommate's too and we went to different HSs.

[hisno1girl]

I can't remember but pick anything that sounds liked it had a synthesizer and you're probably right on the spot.

[aprilsails]

Another Good Riddance (Time of your Life) grad but we were slow in 2003.

My engineering year (2004) song from university was Faint by Linkin Park. It took a lot of effort to convince my wedding DJ to play that song.

[mortomo]

I went to a Lutheran high school and I believe we had to choose a hymn for our graduation song.   I have no idea which one it was. 

I do remember our prom theme and song.  Our theme was Midnight Masquerade and our song was "Come as You Are" by Peter Wolf.  All these years I thought that Wang Chung sang that song but Google is telling me otherwise!  The prom in my city is all high schools together for one big prom and they make a huge production out of it.  All of the schools vote on a theme and song and then the hall is decorated to that theme. 

[allaboutme]

Ours was Forever Young by Rod Stewart , Im an old too , sigh! *-)

[silva]

Right Now by Van Halen. Barf
