There's something deeply unsettling to know that there's someone out there who genuinely thinks Happy is better than Africa
I actually can't think of a worse choice, maybe wheels on the bus or some other nursery rhyme? Even that would at least feel subversive
“ It’s the end of the world as we know it” by REM would seem appropriate these days.
I like the implication that Toto Africa has no rhythm whatsoever lmao
Happy is a song devoid of soul. I saw someone bring up that if he released this song today, he would probably be mobbed.
Too bad Pharrell went this route. I really enjoyed him in N.E.R.D.
We walked out to Highway To Hell because someone's older brother blasted it from their stereo in the parking lot.
I nominate Mii Channel Theme Flute Cover (Wii) for the graduation song.
I rather listen to farts than the happy song
There's so much "teachers pet" ink just dripping off this paper, I can smell it through my phone
Im seeing a lot of hate, but these are both good songs.
Happy:
Africa:
As a non-American, I was very confused for a bit. Why are senior citizens needing to pick songs? What are they graduating from?
I'm still salty that my choice of "Living La Vida Loca" was unanimously voted against so that we could have "I'm Still Standing"
I was so medicated that I don't remember what I "walked out on..." I guess it was Pomp & Circumstance or something, right?
This sing is the one weird al parodied right?
So, Vampires.. (related to op, I swear)
If holy water works against vampires, why not purify a humidifier?
Better yet, know why you don't see any vampires in Africa? Because Toto already blessed the rains down in Africa.
My class voted Free Bird by Lynard Skynyrd. A song about a man leaving a woman because he doesn't want to settle down. Class of 2010 morons.
Shit like this is why I didn't attend either of my graduations and got married in front of a preacher and two friends
We did the Throne Room/Ending Credits theme from Star Wars played by our symphonic band. It goes hard.

Metal cover all the way
I finished Grade 8 in 2000. Naturally our theme was Anthem for the Year 2000 by Silverchair.
Can't remember what the one for my highschool graduation was though. Could've been Sandstorm by Darude. That song was seemingly everywhere.
As long as it's not Green Day, Good Riddance.... again.
For some reason most of my school went out to various David Hasselhoff songs. To this day I don't know why, only that I wouldn't have had it any other way. This was back in 2009, in a Swedish gymnasium with no connection to him (AFAIK).
One of my classmates was part of a bagpipe group so he and his group played our graduation. Fantastic choice actually.
I was pretty happy with our senior song.
My sister graduated in 1998, when every high school in the country did "My heart will go on." The next uear, everyone did "Party like it's 1999." I don't even remember what the next 2 classes did other than they were some kind of flash in the pan pop song from the time.
In 2002, my class voted for "At Last" by Ella Fitzgerald. That's some classy, timeless shit.
You need something you can walk to, like Another One Bites The Dust, Stayin' Alive, anything by ZZ Top, that sort of thing
Can I propose "Is Vic there?" by Department S?
In an internet funny, the year everyone was obsessed with the song Africa was also the year Africa was rolling tropical storms off the assembly line all thru summer (in the northern hemisphere)
What are those.
What are toto or África
